Landmine Detection Rover

– Landmines remain one of the most dangerous remnants of war, posing serious risks to human life and limiting development in affected regions. Conventional detection methods are slow, hazardous, and heavily dependent on human involvement. This project presents the design and development of a Landmine Detection Rover, a robotic system capable of operating autonomously or via remote control to enhance safety during detection tasks. The rover is equipped with sensors such as a metal detector and obstacle detection system to identify buried metallic objects beneath the surface, while a microcontroller processes sensor data and controls its movement. Upon detecting a potential landmine, the system alerts the operator through visual indicators or wireless communication. Designed to navigate uneven and hazardous terrains, the rover can scan areas unsafe for human access. The primary objective of this project is to provide a safer, more efficient, and cost-effective solution for landmine detection by integrating robotics, embedded systems, and sensor technologies, thereby reducing human casualties and improving detection speed and accuracy while contributing to safer environments in post-conflict regions.
