Design of Rescue Robot Gripper

Abstract

Since last few decades India has witnessed several innocent kids being trapped into abandoned bore wells causing threat to their lives. As India is an agricultural country and has high population the need of water always persists. Hence many bore wells are dug in search of water, which lead to the over exploitation of ground water resulting in abandoning the bore wells due to lack of water. Many cases of young kids being trapped into the boreholes are reported especially in Rural India. The conventional Parallel Pit Method proves to be time, labour and money consuming. It also depends on Geographical Factors of the area. The objective of the project is to construct and design a bore well rescue robot, using the concepts of kinematics of machine. The narrow size of the bore well, poor lighting inside and scarcity of oxygen makes the task very challenging for the adult rescue personnel. The report presents a simple and effective method of gripping the child in the bore well. The project aims in building a mechanism for the safe and easy rescuing of the lives with the help of technology.
