2. What is i-AMD??
• i-AMD is expanded as Intelligent- All terrain
Mine Detector and Defuser .
• Created for a National Duty.
• Self sacrificing ,saves many soldiers and many
civilians from land mine attacks.

3. INSPIRATION
• From natures encyclopedia, in a page about
human, it was all about human arm.
• Human arm’s 12 degree of freedom is coupled
with jamming technology.
• Jamming process enables the robotic arm to
take any shape and lift any kind of object.
• Jamming is done with help of an elastic
membrane filled with granules and by applying
negative pressure.

5. JAMMING ARM
CORE COMPONENTS OF JAMMING ARM
• ELASTIC MEMBRANE
• GRANULES
• VENTURI ASPIRATOR

6. • Elastic membrane is filled with granules up to
a malleable state.
• Elastic membrane is placed on the object to be
lifted.
• Suction pressure (negative pressure) is created
to give a strong grip to the elastic membrane.
• Positive pressure is created to drop the object
lifted.

7. DIETHYLENE TRIAMINE
SPRAYER
• It is a chemical used for combustion of TNT, the
explosive material in mines.
• It can be stored in 304 or 316 stainless steel.
• In extreme cases it is used to burn the mine with out
detonation

8. LANDMINE SENSING UNIT
• INFRA RED SENSOR
IR sensor consists of an emitter and detector.
Emits light rays and detects the object.
• ULTRASOUND SENSOR
Detects the mine and calculates the distance.

9. BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR
• Brushless DC motor is used to run a fan.
• The maximum speed requirement is 20000 rpm.
• The main purpose is to blow away the soil on top of
the mine.
