Explosive Metal Detection Using Sensors and Microcontroller

This research study presents the design and implementation of a Metal Detector Robot equipped with a bomb detection capability, utilizing various technologies including the Arduino development board, GSM , GPS, driver circuits, an alarm system, motors, and a metal detector. The primary objective of this project is to create a robot capable of detecting and neutralizing explosive devices, enhancing security and operational safety, particularly in military applications. The Metal Detector Robot leverages an Android-based smartphone to scan spaces for metal objects, including landmines, thus mitigating the risks associated with manual detection methods. The robot system incorporates a metal detector that employs coil induction to identify metal presence, displaying detection rates on an LCD interface. Controlled by an Arduino UNO, the robot is powered by a DC motor and emits both an audible buzzer and visual display on the LCD screen upon metal detection. Testing results indicate that the robot can be effectively controlled via an Android smartphone, ensuring efficient and precise metal detection in designated areas. This innovative approach significantly enhances security measures by providing a reliable tool for bomb detection and neutralization, reducing the potential for harm or fatalities associated with traditional landmine sweeping methods.
