Utilization of UGV in Mining Sectors

Abstract

In various sectors such as defense and mining, existing Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) applications face specific limitations, including the inability to achieve wide- range control and operate in dark environments. To mitigate human risks and reduce human involvement in bomb disposal operations, the need for UGVs has become crucial. In this context, we propose a model/framework that utilizes gas and temperature sensors to detect environmental conditions. Our framework aims to enhance UGV applications by incorporating wide-range Wi-Fi enabled control devices and night mode camera functionality. This enables rapid object detection over a greater distance and emphasizes remote control through a mobile application. As a result, the proposed system automates the process of bomb disposal, thereby reducing human risks involved in such operations.
