Abstract—The landmine crisis is globally alarming since there are presently 500 million unexploded, buried mines in about 70 countries. Governments are looking into this situation seriously since landmines are claiming the limbs and lives of civilians every day. The purpose of this paper is to design a robot prototype which is capable of detecting buried land mines and changing their locations, while enabling the operator to control the robot wirelessly from a distance. This technology interfaces the metal detector circuit in a robot to search the land mines. The metal detector circuit is interfaced with the robot and it is left on the required search area in order to detect the metallic components used in the landmines. The main advantage in this project is that we can make this robot at low cost and more efficient.
