Abstract
Landmine detection and removal is a challenging field. In demining operations, the phase of Area
Reduction is very important and has a significant impact on
its cost. Manual demining operations are dangerous, exhaustive and costive in time and money. It is important to produce assistive mechanisms like mobile robots to cope with the landmine fields’ environment. This paper presents the requirements and design constraints of such a robot with its mathematical modeling, simulation and control. The limits of contact pressure of robot tires with ground for different mine types are investigated to protect the robot and prevent the activation of imbedded landmines. A prototype of a mobile platform with a robot arm is developed and manufactured using cheap components.
