Engineering project of a mobile robot with a metal detector for landmine detection

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a mobile tracked robot capable of moving in varied terrain. Its task is to detect metal objects, which is achieved by means of a metal detector placed on a manipulator with three degrees of freedom. The whole system is controlled from a phone using a dedicated application. For the mechanical parts, a mathematical model was created, which was used to carry out driver selection and other essential components. For the detector, a description of research carried out to select the coil of the sensory system is presented. In the part related to the control of the robot, the application and the process of testing by means of a station made on a prototype board is presented. Finally, the assembly of the entire robot is presented along with conclusions and directions for further research.
