I think the idea is that the robot will blow up itself and the mine. The safest way of disarming a mine actually. A lot of robots could crawl around for days looking for mines before detonating at the same time just before a beach landing.
- Batteries work very bad/not at all in cold conditions, you world have to keep the entire resupply of batteries inside the jacket.
- Adds complexity, will probably not work when it is really needed (Murphys laws of combat)
- Cotton still works very well from -15 deg C to -30 -15 deg C, in fact t-shirt, jacket and winter camo works quite well if walking.
- May be usable as a emergency blanket, if you need to reheat someone suffering from mild hypothermia. Having tried that once, it was not very pleasant.

If we file a formal complaint in the local planning department in Alpha Centauri before it is too late an evacuation should not be needed.
I think this is a not so good idea.
