<br/><br/> Metal detector is an electronic instrument that detects the presence of metallic objects<br/>located at short distances. The procedure in using metal detector are time consuming,<br/>requires more efforts and require the user to manually navigate the whole area to check if<br/>there are metallic objects underground. The autonomous robot for metal detection was<br/>developed to automatically navigate the set area without human assistance; it has<br/>collision avoidance, detects metallic objects and determines and records its coordinates.<br/>The recorded coordinates were saved at the SD card module and can be located using<br/>Google map. The prototype hardware such as motor driver, metal detector, GPS,<br/>compass, SD card module and infrared sensors are controlled by Arduino Mega 2560 and<br/>powered by 12volts rechargeable battery. The prototype was evaluated by 15 respondents<br/>consisting of end users and gathered a rated overall mean of 3.80 with descriptive rating<br/>of “very acceptable”. This proves that the prototype is a helpful innovation that can be<br/>used by hobbyist and metal detector user to increase the productivity.
