all the mines in Cambodia,and the UN estimates that with current technology,it will take nearly 1,100 years to clear all the mines in the world.2021/8/8 星期日21This is the situation in Cambodia.This is

landmines removed today?By Hand.Someone has to use a mental detector to find the mine.Then he or she has to dig the mine out without setting it off.2021/8/8 星期日32 3.Why is this method so

and sends data to a computer which can then map the mines.2021/8/8 星期日35 6.Why is Chiba University trying to develop a robot that can use radar?The goal is for the computer to use the data it receives

Bush-the president of the US,for the US hasnt yet committed to the Mine Ban Treaty.2021/8/8 星期日39Material Producing one landmine costs$3,yet once in the ground it can cost more than$1,000 to find and destroy,according to the ICBL.Over 80 per cent of the 15,000 to 20,000 landmine victims each year are civilians,and at least one in five 2021/8/8 星期日40 are children,according to the International

manufacturing landmines and spend more money on finding solutions to clearing the landmines.As you know,your2021/8/8 星期日46 country has designed the most advanced robots.Why not use your advanced technology and spend more money on designing some robots to clear the landmines.If so,it will benefit the whole world.People all over the world will think highly of you and your country.2021/8/8 星期日47 You and your country will become more influential.Japan has set a good example.They have developed robots that can be used to clear landmines.I hope your government will follow Japans example.Thank you for reading the letter.I hope you will consider my2021/8/8 星期日48 suggestions.I believe you also hope the whole world will enjoy peace.Lets work together and make a peaceful world.Yours
