The over 100 million landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) are buried in disaster-affected countries. Although significant efforts have been made at addressing this problem, few have resulted in practical removal tools, especially in the hazardous, yet essential, LV-3 survey. We propose a mechanical master-slave hand to remove landmines and UXOs. At first, we have made a test model (Mine Hand-1) that features symmetric operation. But the consultation with expert deminers from Afghanistan suggested the need for a lightweight and simple design. The improved model, Mine Hand-2, is 1/6th the weight, easily carried, and simpler to maintain. Through blasting experiments, which show that the Mine Hand-2 is robust for average landmines, this model is estimated to be practical.
