      <abstract>
        <p>This paper the contain description of possibility of future combat engineer task robotization. The analysis is focused on most dangerous task like engineer obstacle breaching including mine fields, fence and other barriers. In the paper are described proposals of new technics and tactics for using robots and demand for their new possibilities.</p>
