Abstract/Summary

The main objective of the IED landmine detector is to locate mines by using two sensors that complement one another to increase the accuracy of detecting IED landmines. One of the sensors that are going to be used is a metal detector to detect metallic components found normally on an IED. An RF detector sensor will be used to verify the IED by detecting the signal being emitted by the cellphone used inside the IED. The robot will be deployed on an area manually and then it can be set to automatically search for concealed IED landmines within area using a scanning algorithm. As the robot detects a landmine it will mark it with an indicator and also transmit the location to the operators cellphone. Overall the robot was able to perform all of the functions mentioned on the objectives such as being able to map the IED locations using GPS coordinates and Spray. Locating IED landmines Automatically on an open field area, having a manual override that can be used for deploying and retrieving the robot, and lastly being able to navigate grass terrains such as the Henry Sy Field.
