The University of Moratuwa, SL, where I studied as an undergrad, is on news for it's proud product of "Murali", which is nothing but an eight legged robot for detecting land mines.
North-Eastern regions of Sri Lanka are one of the heavily mined areas in the world due to the war between SL government and Tigers.
