Abstract
In this study, two aspects were analyzed about the robot for removal of explosive devices. First, the cost analyses were performed to provide a reasonable solution for the acquirement of the system. It is processed by an engineering estimate method and the process was consisted of two ways : a system development expense and a mass production unit price. In additions, the resultant cost analyses were compared between the cases excluding and including a mines detection system. As results, in the case of the acquirement of the robot system for removal of explosive devices, it is recommended that the performance by improving the mines detection ability should be considered preferentially rather than the cost because the material cost for the mines detection system is negligible compared to the whole system cost. Second, as a way for improving the system performance by the mine detection function, the carbon nanotube (CNT) based sensor technology was studied in terms of sensitivity and simple productivity with presenting its preliminary experimental results. The detection electrodes were formed by a photolithography method using a photosensitive CNT paste. As results, this method was shown as a scalable and expandable technology for the excellent mines detection sensors.
