TIRAMISU Information Managemen System (T-IMS): field collection tool for demining missions.

TriDem is a wheeled high mobility robot for Humanitarian Mine Clearance developed by the Royal Military Academy of Belgium.

TIRAMISU lables provide for technical information about the different tools developped by the partners.

Welcome to the first issue of the TIRAMISU newsletter!

This first issue lists some of the robotic tools that were tested last year. It also describes a concept for labels that could help understand visually the main characteristics of a given tool, whether it is a detector, mechanical equipment, software, personal protective equipment, etc.

An introduction to our work to propose guidelines to test and evaluate personal protective equipment and propose acceptance tests for demining machines that are not designed to damage or destroy mines is also given.
