BOMB DISPOSAL ROBOT

The growing deployment of intelligent robotics in war operations is vital for reducing human risk and increasing efficiency in dangerous and dynamic combat environments. The paper proposes a multi-purpose military ground robot called WARBOT-X that is intended to tackle the key challenges confronting soldiers in surveillance, explosive ordnance disposal, and medical emergencies. The main characteristics of the robot are the facial recognition-based surveillance system that detects unfamiliar persons and evokes a mock laser reaction. It also has a metal detection system to detect buried landmines or IEDs and alert the remote base station for further suitable action. For stealth, the robot uses an adaptive camouflage system through RGB lighting that dynamically matches its environment. Moreover, WARBOT-X offers life- critical medical assistance by deploying a first-aid kit and activating a GPS-based location-tracking system to notify the location of wounded soldier to the medical staff.
