Abstract :
This Wirelessly controlled Pick and Place land rover mounted with metal detecting sensors to generate alarms on sensing planted land mine. The movement is wirelessly controlled by a hand held RF transmitter. RF receiver is mounted on the land rover. The main aim of this project is to remotely control the robot primarily using the RF mode with an encoder duly interfaced to a microcontroller. The RF (Radio Frequency) remote control has the advantage of adequate range (up to 200 meters with proper antenna) besides being Omni directional. The receiver uses a decoder and a controlled duly interfaced to the microcontroller that drives the DC motors through driver IC. This robot is a command and control robot. It takes commands from the user in the form of control signals and performs the required action. The central idea of this robot is to provide a line of defence to the bomb disposal squad against the life threatening risk faced by them in the event of an explosion. It provides the squad a safe distance to dispose of a bomb, which one has to normally do with bare hands. It can also be used for many other applications based on manufacturing and fabricating industries just by changing the end part of the arm.
