  • Abstract
    This paper considers the problem of developing a low-cost, rugged, outdoor mobile robot to serve as a landmine detection platform. The proposed solution consists of a simple four-wheel-drive skid-steer chassis, a low-cost multi-sensor navigation system, proximity sensors, and computers operating under the real-time (RT) Linux and Windows 95 operating systems
