IoT-Based Smart Wearable Device for Remote Tracking & Tranquilization of Elephants Using Android app

This project aims to develop an IoT-based smart wearable gadget for the non-lethal control of domestic elephants during violent or aggressive episodes. Affixed to the elephant’s back thigh to prevent damage, the device enables remote tracking and tranquilization via Android app. Traditional tranquilizer guns pose risks such as misfires, limited drug capacity, and potential harm due to imprecise aiming. Our solution integrates an injector mechanism that allows mahouts or elephant owners to administer controlled tranquilization remotely. The app offers multiple dosage levels, ensuring a humane and safer alternative by preventing excessive sedation. Real-time tracking enhances transparency and security, preventing unauthorized movement. This approach simplifies elephant control by eliminating shooting risks, reducing costs, and bypassing the need for government approvals. The system leverages IoT connectivity for seamless communication and status updates. The injector mechanism, developed using advanced 3D printing, is designed with precise pressure and force calculations for safe drug administration. This innovative solution enhances the well-being of elephants while ensuring the safety of their human caretakers, offering a technological breakthrough in humane elephant management.
