One of the main tasks of SWIIS is the application of systems and control engineering methods for international conflict resolution. In the past the classical approaches from control theory, simulation, decision making etc.. were used. Here a new idea application of a very well known tool from production automation advanced robots will be presented. A selected field for international stability or conflict resolution is humanitarian demining, which has grown dramatically in the last decade. These robots of the new generation offer possibilities to solve this task in a very efficient way. Finally new developments in humanitarian demining at present and in the future will be discussed and the concept of autonomous, intelligent robot swarms for cleaning minefields is presented.
