Nirmal Ram, Mohammed Fasin AF, Sonu Sebastian, Namitha Gopinath, Dr M. Rajeshwari

Abstract


This paper is about the prototype implementation of an Unmanned Ground vehicle for landmine detection using swarm intelligence, which includes several design aspects and module implementation, requirements and metrics for hardware, experimental results and analysis, conclusions and some future experiments. Unmanned ground vehicle is a very commonly nowadays but what make this research different is we use the power of swarm intelligence to operate and decide its movements and decision. Most of the landmines are non-diffusible for example the proximity mine. This is very commonly used weapon against military tanks.in such scenario a human inspection would be bad idea. It can cause severe injury to the EOD officers or even death. Landmines are biggest treat to any military force in the world. It could even take millions of lives of innocent citizen who lives nearby the warzone. Several deaths have been reported around the world. So this is a social relevant problem that as an engineer we should solve to protect our people from these worst catastrophes.
