A Novel Approach of Rescue Child Robot from Bore well Using Embedded System

Project Abstract / Summary : Due to drought and depletion of underground water more bore wells are drilled on the surface of the earth. When the ground water gets dried or polluted nearby industries, the motor along with casing pipe are removed and the outer, surface of the bore is not insulated properly. As a result of this, the children who were playing near the bore, accidentally fall into it which has drunk their lives. This aids to recover the children from the bore well without any danger of the victim. Initially, the temperature, pressure and the presence of any poisonous gas inside the bore well can be detected through suitable sensors. The overall sensor systems are interfaced with the ARM8 processor. A camera along with an LED light is used to visualize the victim as well as it helps to operate the system by control unit. The vacuum cup is used to adjust the child position and with support of the robotic arms to lift the child with aid of vacuum cup pressure which is controlled by the pressure valve. The arm movement of the robot is controlled by stepper motor. Once child is perfectly picked by robot, BLDC motor is used to lift up the child from bore well. The Zigbee plays a vital role of data transferring between the victims in bore well and the recovery team in earth surface. The simulation results are obtained by using the software Keil C.

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : In current scenario, falling of children or even adults in bore well are increasing. These accidents are mainly happened due to carelessness or playful activities of the child, Moreover most of the bore wells are drilled and leaved as it as open without any proper coverings. When a child fall into the bore well the existing rescue operations in such a cases are more risky and become a non-safe to the rescue team members. In existing system, a big hole is dug beside the bore well up to the depth where the child is stuck. This process a huge amount of human resources (military, Para medical, etc.), machinery (JCBs, Tractors, etc.) is used. A small delay in this resources accumulation may reduce the chances of saving child alive. If the area beside the bore hole contains rocks below certain depth, in such cases the chance of saving child alive is very low. Whatever may be the case the success ratio depends on lots of factors like availability of time taken for transportation of machinery to the situation, human resources and mainly the response time of various government organizations. In India according to the NCRB report of 2011 there are 5 average deaths per day in the license bore wells. At present there is no proper solution for this problem.The rescue operation team using this technology is so safe and the rescue operation time is very less. Using highly advanced IC’s with the help of growing technology this project can be successfully implemented. This can be conclude that, the proposed system retain lives of many who fell into the bore well in future.
