    This document describes an autonomous landmine detector robot called the Desert Scorpion that uses an inductive sensor to detect landmines without touching them in order to save lives on battlefields and in areas with hidden landmines. The inductive sensor consists of an induction loop where changes in the current can be detected to signal when metal like a landmine is near.

    AUTONOMOUS LANDMINE DETECTOR (MINESWEEPING) Desert Scorpion

    INTRODUCTION
    Minesweeping describes the act of detecting of mines. There are two distinct types of mine detection
    and removal: military and humanitarian.
    Minesweepers use many tools in order to accomplish their task. Tools have historically included many
    trained animals, including dogs and rats, but most often in the modern world minesweepers rely on
    metal detectors or vehicles with a wide variety of mechanical tools attached to them. There also are or
    have been other methods developed to detect mines, including the use of trained marine mammals,
    bacteria, acoustics, and other more exotic methods.

    ACTUAL MINESWEEPER
    This is a robot with the ability to seek out landmines with the goal of saving lives. This is quite essential
    in battle fields to ensure that the infantry has as few casualties as possible before actual confrontations.
    This could also be used to save the lives of civilians who live in old battle fields with hidden landmines.
    It will use an inductive sensor to sense the presence or absence of landmines. An inductive sensor is an
    electronic proximity sensor, which detects metallic objects without touching them. The sensor consists
    of an induction loop. Electric current generates a magnetic field, which collapses generating a current
    that falls asymptotically toward zero from its initial trans when the input electricity ceases. The
    inductance of the loop changes according to the material inside it and since metals are much more
    effective inductors than other materials the presence of metal increases the current flowing through the
    loop. This change can be detected by sensing circuitry, which can signal to some other device whenever
    metal is detected.
