Landmines are typically concealed under the ground and usually triggered using pressure, thus detonating whenever a target steps over or drives over it. Landmines are controversial contraptions and their usage is often debated due to their potential as indiscriminate weapons. Landmines can lie dormant and pose a threat to civilians even years after a war has ended. Demining refers to the process of removing landmines from an area. Demining can be both a military operation carried out during an active operation or a humanitarian effort conducted to clear an area of mines for civilian usage. This Landmine Detection Robotic Vehicle uses a metal sensing coil to detect mines hidden under the surface of the earth. Its tracked design allows it to traverse across the roughest and wildest terrains. This Robot has been equipped with ultrasonic sensor to help it with obstacle sensing. Thus, making is capable to autonomously scan a particular area for hidden mines. This Robot is GSM based and allows the user to register themselves by merely sending live location. This robot is controlled through Wi fi and mobile application."
