Bore-Well Rescue Robot
Bore-Well Rescue Robot
ENGINEERING KALBURGI
The aim of the project is to rescue of trapped child in to the bore well by continues monitoring & supply of necessary
items to survive using technical method. 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 well slip in and get trapped. To aid in such rescue we have proposed a system. The Methods to keep a child alive in
a bore should take in to consideration the lack of oxygen, increased temperatures and humidity, which produces
hyperthermia. These problems are addressed with fresh air delivery with or without oxygen. A hand-powered
equipment to deliver fresh air inside bore is being designed. This method brings down temperature and delivers fresh
air. Visualizing the child is made possible with infrared waterproof cameras and a portable high resolution TV Monitor.
This is light weight machine that will go down into the bore well pipe and save the child life systematically. This machine
will go down the bore well and perform the action. This robot type machine can stay alive trapped body from bore well
until parallel hall will be dug up which will work as minimum amount of time and save the child life systematically
There is no proper technique to rescue victims of such accidents. When the local arrangements do not work, Army is called
for. In most cases reported so far, a parallel hole is dug up and then a 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. Moreover it involves a lot of energy and expensive
resources which are not easily available everywhere and in this process we always need big space around the trapped bore
that we can dig a parallel bore.

LITERATURE SURVEY
The field of search and rescue robotics, while growing rapidly in this decade, is still relativelyvery harmful have been proved[2]..Outside of
controlled environments, humans have only performed sophisticated manipulation tasks when operated for rescue operation [3] .In normalrescue
operation, a parallel pit is dug deep to achieve the child and adjacent holes are made tothe walls of bore well. A common method used to find the
depth of child is the use of rope [3].One particular aspect of the rescue robotics domain eases the fruitful combination of highlychallenging basic
research and application oriented developments for large markets. This is thefact that rescue robots strongly benefit from autonomy while there is
a human in the loop [4].The alternative solution to this problem is the use of robotic systems which can move down
the pipe and bring the subjected body out of it properly and safely . Robots have been verysuccessful at manipulation in simulation and controlled
environments.It will be a light weightmachine that will go down into the bore well pipe and hold the trapped body systematically. Inthis
alternative scenario, there will be no requirement of digging any hole parallel to the bore-well. The remotely controlled robot will go down the
bore well and perform the action. A lotof other hassles will also be
avoided by this alternative technique. This proposed system consistof a light weight machine that will go down into the bore well pipe and hold
the trapped bodysystematically. In this alternative scenario, there will be no requirement of digging any hole parallel to the bore-well.
The remotely controlled robot will go down the bore well and performthe action of trapping
baby outside the bore-well using 3 finger mechanism. The 3 fingermechanism is controlled using laptop. We are also using temperature sensor to
measure thetemperature of the baby trapped surroundings
B.Bharathi et-al [1]
describes the designing a robot for rescue a child from inside bore well,which is capable of moving inside the bore well, according to the human
comment by PC andalso pick and placing based on arm design. . The robot is operated through PC using wireless Zigbee technology and using
wireless camera can view both audio and video on the TV. This robot has a high power LED which acts as a light source when light intensity
inside the pipe islow. It is a low cost robot used to monitor and the human controlled robot that gives an insightview of rescuing the baby safely
taken to achieve this .
Palwinder Kaur et-al [2]
describes the rescue operations without human intervention. Herethe wheeled leg mechanism is design to go inside the pipe and the legs are
circumferentiallyand symmetrically spaced out 1200 apart. The robot can adjust its legs according to the pipelinedimensions. The robot has

child position is captured from bore well with USB Camera and monitored on PC. The LM35temperature sensor and 16*2 LCD are interfaced
with PIC 16F877A microcontroller to senseand displays on LCD.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAIL:
DISPLAY UNIT:
LabVIEW is graphically programming language (laboratory virtual instrument enginerring workbench). It is a powerful tool.
LabVIEW offers a graphical programming approach that helps you visualize every aspect of your application, including hardware configuration,
measurement data, and debugging. This visualization makes it simple to integrate measurement hardware from any vendor, represent complex
logic on the diagram, develop data analysis algorithms, and design custom engineering user interfaces.
In this project labVIEW software manually controls the operation of a devices
The programming paradigm used in LabVIEW, sometimes called G, is based on data availability. If there is enough data available to a subVI or
function, that subVI or function will execute. Execution flow is determined by the structure of a graphical block diagram (the LabVIEW-source
code) on which the programmer connects different function-nodes by drawing wires.
These wires propagate variables and any node can execute as soon as all its input data become available. Since this might be the case for multiple
nodes simultaneously

MOTOR DRIVER:
Motor Driver circuit which allows the DC motor to drive on any direction. It is basically current amplifiers which accepts the
low current signal, from the controller and convert it into high current signal This motor control circuit allows the voltage to be
flowing in any direction.
Motor is defined as an electric or mechanic device that can create a motion. While interfacing with the controller; some of the motors like DC
motor, stepper motor and brushless dc motor may require a driver IC or driver circuit. DC motor is a type of motor that can convert DC into a
mechanical power. In a brushless DC motor, it consists of a DC power source, an inverter producing an AC signal to drive the motor. While
stepper motor is a brushless DC electric motor that converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical motions.
Provides the required power to the motor drive.

describes the facility to monitor the trapped child, supply oxygen and provide a supporting platform to lift up the child.
The 1st motor placed at top turns a gear mechanism which, in turn, pushes 3 blocks arranged at 120 degrees from each
other towards the side of the bore well. The 2nd motor placed below the plate turns the bottom shaft by 360degrees, the
helping to locate the gap through which the lifting rod passes. This is done with the help of a wireless camera attached to
the lifting rod. The 3rd motor adjusts the radial distance of the lifting rod. When the diameter is adjusted, the 4th motor
helps the lifting rod to screw its way through the gap towards the bottom of the child. Once the lifting the rod reaches a
safe position under, an air compressor is operated to pump air to the bladder attached to the end of lifting rod through an
air tube that runs downwards inside the lifting rod. The bladder provides a safe seating to the child
