Wireless robo-Pi landmine detection

The tremendous recent involvement of technology in our life generates a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, and in order to highly augment its positive influence, at the expense of the negatives, technology most be deployed to serve humanity and society. In this article, we highlight the importance of involving robotics, communication and data analysis in the domain of land mine detection. The main idea is to design and implement a prototype of an efficient low cost automated mine detector that will replace the current employed human detectors in the mission of detecting and extracting mines in a suspected area of land. This detector will wirelessly communicate with a server to transmit the detected information such as the location of the metal object and captured images of the land where does it exist. The proposed system will help in significantly reducing the risk poses to the human detectors lives while they are in a field of mines. Besides, automation will guarantee an easier and faster scanning process that will open the door to more developed possibilities such as automatically investigating the received big sizes of data for recognizing mines from other left behind normal objects.
