A Review and Design of Bore well Rescue Robot

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in the bore well mishaps wherein children fall into open bore wells. This project aims at designing a system which is capable of rescuing the child with ease and without causing any discomforts such as scratching to the walls of the well. The system is a lightweight, a compact arrangement that has a cable rope to which a deflated air bag is tied, which goes beyond the depth of struck and is inflated. The system is controlled by a rotating rope drum and a cable rope. The design of the system is adaptable to the diameter of the bore well which varies from 4 inches to 12 inches. The Depth of Struck and Posture of Struck of the child is monitored through camera using live detector. The project is intended to reduce the time taken to rescue and risk involved in the operation. These bore wells in turn have started to take many innocent lives. Bores which yielded water and subsequently got depleted are left uncovered. Small children without noticing the hole dug for the bore will and slip in. There is no proper technique to rescue victims of such accidents. When the make shift local arrangements do not work. In most cases reported so far, a parallel hole is dug and then horizontal path is made to reach to the subject’s body. It is not only a time taking process, but also risky in various ways.
