Vegetation clearance is a key issue in many minefields. This task takes a great percentage of the overall mine
clearance operation time, so that mechanization of this work would greatly improve efficiency and safety. In order to address
this issue, we have developed a vegetation clearance device for ”Gryphon”, the mobile demining robot. The grass-cutter
resulting from this research has a mechanical linkage system that outputs progressive torque suited to cutting purposes, and
a finger mechanism that is able to grip and cut at the same time. This paper explains these mechanisms and the results of
experiments conducted in real operation conditions.
