Abstract:
The Metal and Boom Detecting Robotic System represents a significant
advancement in addressing the critical need for efficient and safe landmine removal by
leveraging the principles of electromagnetic induction. This innovative robotic platform
integrates advanced sensors and sophisticated signal processing techniques to detect
metallic objects and identify acoustic signals associated with explosive devices. By
reducing human involvement, the system enhances the speed and accuracy of threat
detection while simultaneously minimizing potential hazards. The primary objective of
this project is to develop a cost-effective and user-friendly metal detector equipped with
a buzzer for immediate alerting, facilitating the seamless detection and removal of
hazardous landmines. A dedicated software program will be engineered for the
PIC16F877A microcontroller, utilizing the C programming language and the MPLAB
XC8 IDE. This software will be responsible for signal processing, metal detection, and
displaying results on an LCD screen, ensuring real-time feedback and enhanced
operational efficiency. This integrated approach offers a promising solution for the
efficient and safe removal of landmines, thereby contributing significantly to
humanitarian efforts in conflict-affected regions. The Metal and Boom Detecting Robotic
System represents a pivotal advancement in landmine detection technology, providing a
proactive and effective means to mitigate the devastating impact of landmines on civilian
populations and facilitate post-conflict recovery and reconstruction efforts.
