Design and Fabrication of Borewell Child Rescue Robot

The latest incidents where children have accidentally fallen into uncovered bore wells have become an area of grave concern regarding their safety, which often leads to mortal tragedy because of the rescue operations. Many such cases have happened recently in India. Forty-five deaths of children have been reported in India since September 2009, from which we have nineteen cases with evidence from a newspaper. The conventional rescue methods, such as digging parallel pits are time-consuming and intensive resource and demands a significant danger to both the victim and rescue personnel. This work consists of design and fabrication provides a faster, safer, and cost-effective alternative for rescue operations. The robot developed is controlled wirelessly through a user-friendly android application using Bluetooth communication, minimizing human involvement in hazardous conditions. In addition, an Iot module integrated with temperature, humidity, and gas sensors continuously monitors environmental conditions inside the bore well and transmits data to a cloud platform for real-time assessment. The compact design, low cost, and ease of operation make the system suitable for rapid deployment during emergencies.
