Design Phase

At its latest general body meeting Cornell MineSweeper has decided on the basic requirements for its mine detecting platform.

Requirements from Research
Location: Bosnia
Terrain Type: Scrubland and Grassland
Landmine Type:
     Case: plastic
     Explosive: TNT
     Trigger Method: pressure plate
     Specific examples: PMN , PMA

Mission

Cornell MineSweeper is a student-initiated effort to design and fabricate a low-cost, autonomous robotic vehicle to accurately detect landmines and facilitate their clearance. Our goal is to construct a robot that will become central to humanitarian demining missions. The robot will safely and efficiently perform the hazardous task of identifying the exact location of mines without risking human lives. This capability will benefit commercial, military, government and community interests across regions facing landmine infestation challenges.
