The objective of the Basic UXO Gathering System (BUGS) is to develop, test, evaluate, and demonstrate the use of multiple small robots in neutralizing unexploded ordnance in contaminated land areas. We are studying control methodologies and working on multiple autonomous robots to perform a practical and useful UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) clearance mission. It is important to select a multiple-robotic system approach that is reliable, economical, and robust enough to operate in an unknown environment. This paper addresses the completed milestones at NAVEODTECHDIV, in building multiple small, robust and inexpensive robot systems to neutralize UXO area.
