Landmine identification is one of the most important aspects of combat since it allows armed vehicles to be deployed into enemy territory. These armed vehicles or main battle tanks follow the path of the pilot tank, which is manually operated to avoid battle tank damage/distraction and defensive crew casualties. Furthermore, post-war, mines buried during battle can be identified and diffused by deploying a mine detection robot, saving civilian lives and avoiding human casualties. So we're creating a prototype model of an automated guided vehicle. The safety of humans was addressed and created with a particular set of sensors used to avoid obstructions. This project prototype was fabricated utilizing a lightweight, temperature-resistant metal. A Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor determines and communicates the vehicle's current location. Path planning, obstacle recognition, and avoidance algorithms will be utilized to correctly drive the vehicle and go along the intended path while avoiding impediments. The Arduino microcontroller is used in this vehicle. The automated vehicle system incorporates a metal detector capable of detecting the landmine. Furthermore, a temperature sensor is utilized to identify landmines by measuring the temperature difference between the floor and the buried landmines. The landmine detection algorithm has been used to determine whether the acquired signal is the desired object or not.
