After decades of strife, occupation, and conflict, Afghanistan has been left pockmarked with an estimated 10 million anti-personnel landmines in its soils. It’s a bad situation. There are mines like the the Soviet PFM-1 “butterfly mine” — especially popular with small children, who mistake it for a toy. But an anti-mine machine from Komatsu is working across the country to help Afghanis literally save life and limb.
This is a baby rat in a minuscule harness somewhere in Tanzania. He’s got his nose in the air, but he’s not looking for cheese. He’s actually sniffing out deadly landmines.
Landmines are proof that the human race is made up of total assholes. Leave it to SCAMP—engineered by a firm with the poetically twisted name Humanistic Robots—to clean up that little mess.
Finding humans to clear minefields is hard. So in Mozambique, they’ve trained rats to sniff out unexploded ordinance, single out its location by pawing at the ground (careful!), and de-mine the field.
When a couple of Swiss kids on holiday in Hungary found a circular object by a river, they did the logical thing and started playing Frisbee with it. They were gob-smacked to learn, however, that their toy was, in fact, a Soviet anti-tank landmine.
