The university hosted a meeting with representatives of the Ukrainian Mine Action Center and the non-profit organization Copenhagen Hazard Mapping (🇩🇰 Kingdom of Denmark).
The key topic was the joint pilot project between Igor Sikorsky KPI and Denmark, titled “AI-Powered Predictive Hazard Mapping for Mine Action Pilot Project (Ukraine).”
It involves:
▪️the use of innovative technologies and AI to identify areas contaminated with explosive ordnance;
▪️co-financing with the participation of the Kingdom of Denmark and the private sector;
▪️accelerating the demining of agricultural lands and other areas.
During the meeting, a Memorandum of Scientific and Technical Cooperation was also signed between Igor Sikorsky KPI and the Ukrainian Mine Action Center, opening opportunities for:
▫️joint initiatives and research, as well as innovative developments in mine action;
▫️the creation of robotic ground systems and drones for threat detection and classification;
▫️the application of AI for the analysis and modeling of hazardous situations.
🤝 Combining the practical experience of international partners with the scientific and technical potential of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute will significantly strengthen Ukraine’s capabilities in humanitarian demining.
