Borewell Rescue System

Abstract

Bore well accidents are common due to uncovered openings of bore well. It is very difficult and risky to rescue the trapped children. A small delay in the rescue can cost the child his or her life. Lifting the child out of the narrow hole of the bore well is not easy. The child who has suffered the trauma of the fall is confined to a small area where with the passage of time, the supply of oxygen reduces. The main objective of this project is to design and construct a portable robot which is cost effective, quick in action and accurate. This robot is also capable of performing life saving action like supplying oxygen. The Bore well Rescue Robot is capable of moving inside the well and performs operations according to the user commands. The proposed model is designed to provide the child with two level of safety achieved by using robotic arms at the top and safety airbag at the bottom. This arrangement ensures that the child does not slip further deep during the rescue operation. The robot is operated through personal computer according to the observations made continuously using CCTV camera. MATLAB tool is used for programming the controller.
