• Recusing with heavy machinery have impact on

CHALLENGES FACED DURING RESCUE

• Tender and small age of victims

• Remoteness of bore well locations
• Lack of supportive infrastructure
• Confined space
• Low visibility
• Operation against time
• Weather condition
• Fallen derbies on child during rescue.

Our proposed System is designed to overcome all these issues

 PROPOSED SOLUTION
This project is more inclined towards the rescue process. This can be summarized as follows.

1. Determination of Depth of Stuck and Posture of Stuck from Wireless camera and proximity sensor interfaced
to any Tablet, PC or Mobile Phone.
2. Uninterrupted supply of Oxygen to the child to nullify any respiratory issues.
3. Primary step:
Passing deflated balloon using a cable beyond Depth of Stuck. Inflating the balloon to ensure that the child
doesn’t go further down.
Use case 1:(When we have enough space around the child)
1. Lowering the Cylindrical cage mechanism with the help of stereoscopic camera and stabilizing it
at the correct depth.
2. Expansion of the cage around the child’s body and tightening the grip using air bags.
Use case 2:(When we don’t have enough space around the child)
1.In cramped space the cylindrical cage is being replaced by a flexible gripper that adapts to the
shape of the object it holds.
2.With the use of binocular camera we catch hold of the child and rescue child.

This method has many disadvantages like :
• The gripper is then deployed to grab the child securely

high.
• Since the mechanism is sent to the child through the same

quicker.
• Since there is no proper monitoring it is extremely difficult
to give proper assistance. • Communication between the child and the rescue crew is
made possible .
• The method of lifting the child is often not secure enough
and it may cause multiple injuries while being lifted.
 CONCLUSION

The most important part of any rescue mission is to provide utmost safety to the
child and to increase the chance of his survival by any means possible.
Our project keeps this as the top priority.
