DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF BOREWELL CHILD RESCUE SYSTEM

Abstract

Borewells are narrow and deep cylindrical excavations used for various purposes, such as water extraction or geological exploration. Accidental falls or entrapments in borewells pose significant challenges for rescue operations due to limited access and potential hazards. Therefore, developing a specialized robot for borewell rescue can enhance the efficiency and safety of such operations. This project presents the development of a borewell rescue robot equipped with an ESP32 microcontroller, high torque DC motors, a camera module, and a mechanical gripper. The robot is designed to navigate and perform rescue operations in narrow borewell environments, where human access is limited or hazardous. The objective is to create a robust and efficient robot capable of reaching and retrieving individuals trapped in borewells, thereby reducing the risks and time associated with manual rescue operations.
