Many countries all over the world are affected by landmines. The presence of mines under the ground represents a major threat to human lives. Currently, detecting and clearing mines demand specific proficiency with special mine detecting equipment. This research paper proposes new application of Autonomous robot named Autonomous Robotic Mine Detector (ARMD).The aim of this research is to design ARM which presents the design and development of an intelligent controller which will control the motion of robot and enable the robot named AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC MINE DETECTOR (ARMD) to detect mines by using sensors and of processing the obtained information to guide soldiers when passing through landmine areas. This is achieved by dividing the overall system into two subsystems: sensor technologies and robotic device. Sensors devices include infrared distance sensor for (obstacle avoidance), advance metal detector for (detecting mines), and ultrasonic range finder for (measuring distance). The proposed controller is mainly based on designing FUZYY system in matlab and creating fuzzy rules that shows the behaviors of soldier in controlling a robot in a well known landmine area. In this research paper the mobile robot is designed in Matlab/Simulink software using kinematics equations then another model of trajectory is designed in simulink. Simulation and experimental results are presented here to prove the efficiency of the proposed approach. The simulation results show that the system is able to detect landmines and guide soldiers while crossing mines area.
