Research, Development & Innovation Programme - RDI

Egypt has been listed as the country most contaminated by landmines in the world.
Mine Probe tackled landmine and UXO contamination as a problem of economic, environmental and humanitarian dimensions. It contributed to raising the public awareness of the seriousness of the landmines and UXOs contamination and the role of science and technology in solving this problem and motivated professors, engineers and students working on innovative solutions for this serious problem.
Mine-Probe developed a novel minefield reconnaissance and mapping system in Egypt.
An efficient vehicle locomotion system has been developed to endow the unmanned vehicles the ability to move fluidly and efficiently in rough terrain of NWC. A comparative study was conducted between the different outdoor localization approaches and concluded to the usage of RTK (Real Time Kinematic) GPS system in MineProbe Project. A Ground pe*******on Radar (GPR) and Electro Magnetic Induction (EMI) probabilistic information fusion approach has been developed and implemented for landmine detection. A vertically articulated 3-DOF robot arm was designed to carry the developed dual sensor.
The prototype has been developed by InnoVision Systems in collaboration with the GUC, Executive Secretariat for the Demining & Development of the North West Coast, Isteshaar (Egypt) and Center of Telematics (Germany) and funded by the RDI
