C.l.e.a.r: An Intelligent Iot-based Autonomous Rover For Landmine Detection And Recognition

Abstract

There Exists A Considerable Risk Posed To Human Personnel In The Process Of Conducting Field Inspections And Identifying Mines. In Order To Counteract Such Issues, The Proposed Work Introduces CLEAR (Counter Landmine Exploration And Recognition Rover), Which Is A Portable And Remotely Controlled Robot That Can Be Employed In Dangerous Locations For Investigating The Terrain And Detecting Metal Objects. The Robot Is Supposed To Minimize Human Presence Near Possible Explosive Areas By Being Cheap In Implementation And Easy To Deploy. The Robot Uses A Pulse-induction Sensing Technique Placed Under The Vehicle For Detecting Any Underground Metallic Anomalies. An STM32F411CEU6 Microcontroller Manages All Actions Of The Platform, Such As Sensor Acquisition, Motor Control, Wireless Transmission, And Detection Processing. In Addition, A Web-based Dashboard Has Been Designed To Display Telemetry Data And Detect Positions On The Digital Map Interface. The Experiment Was Carried Out Using Buried Metallic Objects. The Proposed System Has Shown High Performance In Detecting Buried Metallic Objects With Low Latency. Positioning Tags Based On The GNSS Technology Have Been Used To Mark Detected Objects. The Whole System Has Been Put Together Within The Budget Of Less Than USD 100, Which Means That It Is Possible To Build An Affordable Robotic System To Assist With Landmine Awareness.
