Development of Mine Detection Robot System
The Mine Detection Robot supports the mine removal work in countries where mines are buried, such as Afghanistan. The development started from September, 2003. Considering running on rough terrains, the robot has four crawlers, and hydraulic motors in front and rear were serially connected by piping so that they could rotate synchronously. Two work arms were mounted on the robot, one was a horizontal multi-joint SCARA type with motorized 2-link arm, while the other was a vertical multi-joint manipulator with 6 degrees of freedom. Also, domestic evaluation tests were carried out from February to March, 2005, followed by overseas validation tests in Croatia from February to March, 2006. These tests were conducted with a mine detecting senor mounted on the Robot, and the detection performance was evaluated by its mine detection rate.
Surveillance Drone for Landmine Detection
Mine detection using a surveillance drone is a modern conceptual prototype, which has been designed to detect landmines. Landmines were primarily used to create defensive and tactical barriers during the Second World War. They are still very much employed in large quantities in countries such as Afghanistan, Korea. A lot of these land mines still go undetected, increasing the death rate and creating havoc on the surroundings. The prototype developed helps us to detect a landmine using a flying drone. The prototype has a quad copter which has a mine detector mounted on it. This utilizes two different modes of detection, which are an IR camera and a metal detector. These are extensively used in aiding this whole operation. The location of the mine can be traced back by the GPS and the detected location can be transmitted using the GSM module. There is a lot of untapped potential and scope of improvement for this prototype in the future. In this paper, we have successfully worked on a mine detector that performs functions of vested interest towards the military and commercial organizations.
Globalization and the Internationalization of Legal Education in the United States: An Annotated Bibliography
Globalization and its influence on legal education is a topic of growing interest to the legal profession and to legal educators alike. The first articles on the subject appeared in the mid-1990s, and the frequency of publications has been increasing ever since. This bibliography provides annotations to English-language law journal articles published between 1995 and 2008 that focus on the impact of globalization on legal education in the United States.
