Design And Development Of Robot For Rescue Operations For Bore-Well Victims

Abstract

In the past years, the reported rates of children falling inside the bore-well have increased considerably. Where in most cases rescue operations take place by digging the pits parallel to an existing one consuming both time and manpower, others leave the children in forfeiting their lives. The current method used has very little chance of rescuing the child out of the bore-well safely, which is why this robotic system promises to target the current situation. The project implies a design of two arm grippers using gear mechanism mounted on the lead screw for to-and-fro motion with cushion-like material placed inwards to grip the child and pull him out of the bore-well safely. The robot interfaces with the Raspberry Pi. Live streaming helps in assessing the position of the child and sensor values give the real-time data of the distance from the child, temperature, and humidity. The control and monitoring of the entire system are done through the Webpage.
