The goal of this project is to use a low cost UAV to drop cheap and readily available payloads onto landmines to detonate them, specifically targeting the PMN-1 antipersonnel landmine. This project assumes that the landmines have been marked by another robot. This system is designed to be much cheaper than current solutions so as to be affordable to civilians. The project produced a set of autonomous routines that can be used to deploy mine-destroying payloads, as well as a payload deployment system and a set of recommendations that can be used to produce a fully-functional prototype of this system.
