Abstract

The development of a first aid kit deploying a robot for disaster response presents a significant advancement in improving emergency medical assistance during natural disasters. This project focuses on designing a robot controlled through a transmitter-receiver system, equipped with weather sensors, a Pi camera for live streaming, and autonomous deployment capabilities. The objective is to enhance the efficiency, safety, and reach of emergency response efforts in challenging environments. The integration of weather sensors enables the robot to assess and adapt to changing weather conditions, ensuring optimal safety during deployment. Real-time weather data guides the robot's decision-making, allowing it to avoid hazardous situations and respond effectively to dynamic environmental challenges. The Pi camera's live streaming feature provides remote visual information, enabling operators and emergency responders to monitor the robot's activities time. This real-time streaming enhances coordination, facilitates informed decision-making, and optimizes resource allocation, even from a remote location. The autonomous deployment of first aid kits is a crucial aspect of the project. The robot navigates through inaccessible or hazardous areas, ensuring the timely delivery of medical supplies to victims. This capability significantly reduces response times, mitigates risks faced by human responders, and increases the chances of survival and recovery for affected individuals.
