Abstract

In this paper robotic systems for antipersonnel mines detection are presented. Robots with different locomotion principles have been developed to carry mines detection sensors. In this project, many different aspects including mechanics, control and positioning have been addressed. After a short review of the project and a description of the system components, the control and communication architecture of the robotic detection systems is presented. One of the most important issues in this application was the synchronisation of the processes between the microcontrollers and remote computers. The method that has been implemented has proven to be robust and the different systems have been used to acquire very useful data for the research community.
