The document describes a proposed robotics device for borewell rescue operations. A team of 5 mechanical engineering students from Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering Kolhapur plans to develop a compact, modular borewell rescue robot. The robot will use sensors for obstacle detection, depth measurement, temperature, and gas levels. It will have cameras, grippers for extraction, and rechargeable batteries. The robot aims to assist in rescuing people and livestock who fall into borewells at agricultural and construction sites, as well as in remote areas. Potential challenges include failures of safety systems, inadequate testing, regulatory compliance issues, lack of operator training, and environmental hazards.

Idea/Approach Details Compact and Modular Design: Efficient Use of Space: Maximizes available space for optimal functionality, minimizing wastage. Telescopic or Articulated Sections: Incorporates flexible sections for navigating tight bends and corners. Quick-Release Mechanisms: Allows rapid disassembly for maintenance or component The technology stack for the Borewell Rescue replacement. Robot project includes a microcontroller (e.g., Interchangeable Parts: Enables easy replacement Raspberry Pi or Arduino) as the central or upgrades, reducing downtime. processing unit. It incorporates a range of sensors Ergonomic Controls: User-friendly controls for obstacle detection, depth measurement, ensure easy operation, even in high-stress temperature, and gas levels. Camera systems situations. provide visual feedback and aid in mapping the Compact Power Storage: Efficient power system borewell environment. The robot is equipped with for sustained operation in confined spaces. a manipulation mechanism, such as grippers, for Foldable Components: Reduces footprint during safe and secure extraction. Power is supplied transportation and storage through rechargeable batteries or a combination of battery and solar sources. Communication is facilitated via wireless modules Idea/Approach Details Agricultural Regions: In farming communities, • Failure of Safety Systems: Any failure in the fail- where borewells are common for irrigation, the robot safes or emergency stop mechanisms could pose a can be deployed in case of accidents involving serious risk to both the trapped individual and the people or livestock rescue team. Construction Sites: On construction sites with deep • Inadequate Testing: Inadequate testing in simulated boreholes, the robot can assist in rescue efforts in the borewell environments may result in unanticipated event of accidents or emergencies. issues during a real rescue operation. Remote Villages and Rural Areas: In areas where borewells are the primary source of water, the robot • Regulatory Compliance: Non-compliance with safety can be crucial for rescuing individuals who and regulatory standards can lead to legal and accidentally fall into borewells. operational complications. Urban Areas: In cities or towns with extensive • Lack of Operator Training: Insufficient training for infrastructure, there may be instances where the robot operators could lead to errors in controlling the robot, is needed to access confined spaces like borewells. potentially jeopardizing the rescue operation.
