Final Project Proposal

Project Ideation

1- Tell us about the purpose of your project. Which problem does it solve? Why do you care about this? What were you inspired by? Include images and videos of similar projects

The Project is making a landmine detection robot to solve one of the most critical problems nowadays

There are many types of anti-personnel and anti-tank mines laid by the Allied forces in the western desert of Egypt during World War II.

The mines moved from their places because of the sand dunes, and climate changes over half a century.

The sensitivity of mines to detonation is due to their age or due to weather factors.

The disappearance or absence of maps of these mines.

There are currently about 21,800 million mines in Egypt

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?

The idea is to design and manufacture a landmine detection robot that can detect mines using a color sensor to do the same job as the metal sensor, we will define the red color to present the metal any color other than that is not a metal

3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

Project Planning

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of

Construction Parts

Components Base to carry the electronic parts, shafts between to hold the wheel and a top cover to protect the electronic parts and wiring

Input

(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)

Color sensor

Action

(Physical and/or Graphic)

Detect the underground metal and then making a alarm sound from the buzzer and show a sentence on the lcd says that " I Catch one "

Brain

Arduino uno

Power Management

Battery

5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.

Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
