Metal Detector Robotic Vehicle
Metal Detector Robotic Vehicle
ABSTRACT
The project is designed to develop a robotic vehicle that can sense metals ahead of it on
its path similar to sensing land mines. The robot is controlled by a remote using RF technology.
It consists of a metal detector circuit interfaced to the control unit that alarms the user behind it
about a suspected land mine ahead. An 805 series of microcontroller is used for the desired
operation.
At the transmitting end using push buttons! commands are sent to the receiver to control
the movement of the robot either to move for"ard! bac#"ard and left or right etc. At the
receiving end t"o motors are interfaced to the microcontroller "here they are used for the
movement of the vehicle. The RF transmitter acts as a RF remote control that has the advantage
of ade$uate range %up to &00 meters' "ith proper antenna! "hile the receiver decodes before
feeding it to another microcontroller to drive () motors via motor driver I) for necessary "or#.
A metal detector circuit is mounted on the robot body and its operation is carried out
automatically on sensing a any metal underneath. As soon as the robot senses this metal it
generates an alarm sound. This is to alert the operator of a possible metal %eg* land mine' ahead
on its path.
Further the project can be enhanced by mounting a "ireless camera on the robot so that the
operator can control the movement of the robot remotely by "atching it on a screen.
