AUTOMATIC LANDMINE DETECTION VEHICLE

Electronics and Communication Engineering

The persistent danger of landmines in post-conflict areas is a significant impediment to safety and development. Addressing this, our project presents a cutting-edge Automatic Landmine Detection Vehicle, designed to autonomously traverse and identify hidden landmines. The system is equipped with a sensitive metal detector that utilizes a copper coil to detect the metallic components of landmines. Central to the vehicle's operation is an Atmega328 microcontroller, which is programmed via Arduino to direct the vehicle's predetermined route and interpret the metal detector's signals. When a landmine is detected, the vehicle immediately stops, and a Bluetooth module sends an alert to the operator's device, providing real-time notification of the detection. This prompt alert mechanism significantly enhances the demining process by improving both safety and efficiency. Our project's objective is to leverage autonomous technology to minimize human exposure to dangerous environments, thereby contributing to the advancement of humanitarian demining. This initiative is a step towards the safe reclamation of landmine-contaminated areas, facilitating their return to peaceful and productive use.
