Abstract


Landmine is a device which will explode as a result of action applied on it like delivering pressure upon it. It is buried under earth to destroy the objects like soldiers, vehicles and tanks when they move over or near to the landmine. This project includes a solution for detecting and defusing the land mine safely without any casualties. Unlike already existing projects or models, this project got something new and innovative. UGV operates semi-automatically (means, vehicles can perform some function even without a soldier/operator. Using A.I based algorithms) for actions like movement, detection, picking, counter strike and diffusion. So in this paper we demonstrate our idea by building a prototype of proposed solution. Also we explain the methodology we adopted to reach the final result.
