INTELIGENT UNDERGROUND MINE DETECTION (IUMD) ROBOT

The IUMD Robot System was developed on the base of a new robot technology(newest sensor and most advanced digital technology), which is able to construct aprecise map of the metallic parts located under the ground level, to store thecoordinates of their location and if required to make a paint mark on the ground at theplace of their location.

This robot system was developed mainly for military application. The system has thehighest effectiveness in procedures of mapping and destruction of projectiles andactive mines.

The IUMD Robot System recognizes projectiles and different mines, mapping theircoordinates with up to 1 cm accuracy. It uses a 2m long pneumatic lever holding themagnetic sensors vertically with a gyroscope. The data sent from the unit onto theremote control unit is already a picture of the detected metallic part. The identifiedobjects can be destroyed using the built-in back-sliding disrupter with the help of aninfrared camera. These maneuvers are done securely using the remote control froma distance of over 100m. The incoming data, both pictures of found metallic parts andvideo input can be stored onto the notebook built in the remote control.The screen on the remote control unit shows two parallel pictures: one of the GPScoordinates and the map the unit is located at, and one of the video input the unit

sends to the remote control.

The unit has front shields to avoid the fragmentation effect.

The system recognizes metallic parts in up to 2m depth below the ground level.The unit can be used during day and night it uses two infrared lights in the cameraand two 50W halogen lights on the front. It can be used in extreme conditions: from-10C up to +60C; it is dustproof it works even in desert conditions.

Steps of the mapping process:1. Digitalization of the traditional map with the available largest scale.

2. Loading of precise coordinates of the examination area into the distancecontrol and coordination system.

3. Setting of the detector and video recording units according to the terrainconditions.

4. Examination of the designated area.
