✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a new approach to the detection of anti-personnel landmines which is based on the physical detection of landmines using a shaqgened probe in a fashion similar to that employed by human deminers. Reviews of current techniques, proposed new sensor technologies, and current uses of robotic devices within landmine detection are presented. This is followed by a description of our proposed solution, a robot capable of performing the probing task, together with the results of the initial experiments.

## Abstract This paper presents a contribution to the problem of detecting cylindrical targets. We first show that cylindrical targets embedded into lossy dielectric media, such as soil have natural resonant frequencies which can be calculated using simplified models. Next, we demonstrate that thos
