Abstract
In this paper a humanoid robot for humanitarian demining is described. Humanitarian demining is an important subject in SWIIS. The robot that is demonstrated in this paper is a tall humanoid robot called “Archie” which is a project of the Technical University of Vienna since the year 2004. The robot has the capability to imitate a human gait and could be used for surfing a mined field. Using biped locomotion instead of the traditional wheel based robots has some benefits; in this paper we will try to cover some of them.
