Multisensor Demining Robot

چکیده
The paper describes an advanced multisensor demining robot. The robot transport system is based on a simple structure using pneumatic drive elements. The robot has robust design and can carry demining equipment up to 100 kg over rough terrains. Due to the adaptive possibilities of pedipulators to obstacles, the robot can adjust the working position of the demining sensors while searching for mines. The detection block consists of a metal detector, an infrared detector, and a chemical explosive sensor. The robot is controlled by means of an on-board processor and by an operator remote station in an interactive mode. Experimental results of the transport, control, and detection systems of the robot are presented.

9 Development of Deminer - Assisting Robotic
Robot operation and interaction in unstructured environment is difficult. The problem becomes even more difficult if the environment is hazardous, presents a potentially wide temperature range, and is subject to rain, dust and other natural factors. Such conditions are typical in minefields. Current demining technology is slow, costly and dangerous, and has virtually not evolved in the last 60 ...
متن کاملA modular control architecture for semi- autonomous navigation
Humanitarian demining is still a highly laborintensive and high-risk operation. Advanced sensors and mechanical aids can significantly reduce the demining time. In this context, it is the aim to develop a humanitarian demining mobile robot which is able to scan semi-automatically a minefield. This paper discusses the development of a control scheme for such a semi-autonomous mobile robot for hu...
متن کاملPEACE: An Excavation-Type Demining Robot for Anti-Personnel Mines
We propose an excavation-type demining robot PEACE for farmland aiming at “complete removal” and “automation.”(Mori et al., 2003, Mori et al., 2005) The reason why we choose farmland as the demining area is as follows: farmland is such an area where local people cannot help entering to live, so it should be given the highest priority (Jimbo, 1997). PEACE is designed to clear APMs (anti-personne...
متن کاملDevelopments on an Affordable Robotic System for Humanitarian Demining
Humanitarian demining is a multi-faceted and broad domain. Occasionally, specific economic interests in specific areas of landmine infested countries may foster an avalanche of investments for massive demining. However, the great majority of the territory is left out of these demining activities, meaning that the problem is prolonged for decades. Affected countries, usually developing ones, lac...
متن کاملA control architecture for humanitarian-demining legged robots
The use of autonomous robots for humanitarian demining tasks is a promising solution. Among the different types of autonomous robots, walking robots exhibit significant advantages to negotiate uneven and unstructured terrain. However, the complete autonomous control of walking robots is still challenging. In this work, a hybrid reactive/deliberative control architecture is proposed for the auto...
