Design and Fabrication of Landmine Detecting Robot for Detection of Landmines

The landmine crisis is globally alarming since there are presently 500 million unexploded, buried mines in about 70 countries. Governments are looking into this situation seriously since landmines are claiming the limbs and lives of civilians every day. The purpose of this project is to design a robot vehicle prototype which is capable of detecting buried land mines and helps soldiers to demine the landmines, while enabling the operator to control the robot wirelessly from a distance. This technology interfaces the metal detector circuit in a robot to search the land mines. The metal detector circuit is interfaced with the robot and it is left on the required search area in order to detect the metallic components used in the landmines. The detection of the buried mine is done by using metal detectors since most land mines contain metal components. The demining process is done by using arm which is fixed in the robot. The main advantage in this project is that we can make this robot at low cost and more efficient. 8051 microcontroller is used to regulate the operations. Bluetooth Technology is adopted to control the directions and movement of the robot and arm remotely.
