A Study on STM32-Based Landmine Detection and GPS Positioning Robot

Abstract

Landmine contamination remains a critical global issue, demanding innovative and reliable solutions to reduce human casualties during demining operations. This work surveys robotic systems developed for landmine detection, with emphasis on STM32-based embedded control and GPS positioning for accurate mapping of hazardous zones. The reviewed designs integrate multiple sensors including metal detectors, infrared, and ultrasonic modules, combined with wireless interfaces such as RF, WiFi, or GSM for operator alerts. Additionally, approaches involving autonomous navigation, real-time location tracking, and IoT connectivity are explored. By synthesizing findings from multiple studies, the survey outlines both the technological advancements and limitations in current robotic detection methods. The contribution of STM32 architecture lies in its processing efficiency, low power consumption, and compatibility with multi-sensor integration.
