ABSTRACT: The paper intends to propose a system that will
help the personnel in areas deemed dangerous and life-
threatening to eliminate any harmful material that they
encounter. The system proposed will be mounted on an
unmanned vehicle that will be controlled through a Graphical
User Interface (GUI). The system will have a water-jet cutting
mechanism that will help to dispose off hazardous and life-
threatening substances. A Global Positioning Sensor (GPS) will
help in the localization of the entire system. The system can be
further improved by interfacing additional sensors.
KEYWORDS : GPS, GUI, Localization, Water-jet cutting
mechanism.
I. INTRODUCTION
Personnel in areas deemed dangerous often encounter
explosive devices that may be life threatening. An unattended
suspicious object, for example, can be an explosive device. It is
very risky for a human to manually check whether the object is
non-threatening. Our system aims to eliminate this
discrepancy and hence make way for safe disposal of explosive
objects.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
To develop a fully automated Abrasive Water Jet Machining
System (AWJM), various sensors need to be integrated for a
multi-sensory approach. AWJM system [1] consists of four
types based on their performance parameters. Each of these
parameters was tested for an in-process condition monitoring
AWJM system. The Acoustic Emission (AE) sensor is highly
efficient making it an alternative for measuring the depth cut.
The variation of AE signals exhibits a linear relationship with
water jet pressure. Peak values in the frequency spectrum are
found to be shifting as the abrasive flow rate changes. At
higher abrasive mass flow rate, higher peaks are also recorded
in the high frequency spectrum. Also, the impact of abrasive
particles does not play a significant role in the generation of
vibration.
The maximum material thickness that can be cut using an
AWJM system is influenced by the velocity of the feed [2].
Wedge shaped aluminium bars were used as samples, and the
cut thickness was measured using an electronic altimeter. At
maximum water pressure and maximum feed rate of the
cutting head, the quality of the abrasive material is not of much
importance. There is no significant increase in efficiency of the
water jet cutting process.
For example, red garnet is highly efficient, cost effective and
comparable to other abrasives like diamond and sapphire.
The main challenges faced while considering accuracy of GPS
localization are perceptual aliasing, camera occlusion and
noisy GPS data [3]. The unreliability that is associated with GPS
based localization can eliminated by making use of cameras
that remove this ambiguity. Using standard techniques, the
weights of the image obtained through cameras were
calculated and the one with the highest score was chosen as
suitable to the query image. A multi-sensory approach was
used, which helped increase the accuracy by a significant
margin up to a range of 7.5m.Thus, a multi-sensory approach
that combines the advantages and removes the drawbacks
present in the individual helps in achieving highly accurate and
reliable localization.
