Cost-effective robots for mine detection in thick vegeta- tion

چکیده
The paper deals with design and modelling of four cost-effective crawling robots for landmine localization in uneasy accessible areas covered by thick vegetation. As a universal solution to the landmine problem is unlikely to be achieved in the short time, according to what many other researchers think, time is worth spent on trying to solve a specific aspect of the global problem, rather then treating the problem as a whole. Therefore, the reasons that leaded to recognize mine localization in areas covered by thick vegetation as important and urgent aspect of the global landmine problem are explained. Then, what we mean with cost-effective robots is reported, within the establishment of simple criteria to evaluate the effective impact of proposed robots on the work of demining agencies on field. Finally, four cost-effective robots are presented.
