LANDMINE DETECTION ROBOT USING ARDUINO BOARD

Detection and removal of landmines is an important worldwide concern. A huge number of landmines have been deployed over the last twenty years and demining will take several more decades,even if no more mines were deployed in future. An adequate mine - clearance rate can only be achieved by using new technologies such as improved sensors,efficient manipulators and mobile robots. The ideas and concepts from the theoretical stages are shaped into the physical hardware components by fabrication of a prototype and then software programs are integrated into the system so as to test and experiment the concepts that had been developed. The designed robot is capable of detecting a buried mine,marking the exact location of the buried mine,and controlling itself from stepping over it and detonating the mine. The detection of the buried mine is done by using metal detectors since most land mines contain metal components. https://www.ijiert.org/paper-details?paper_id=14101
