Abstract
Accidents at bore wells are now frequent worldwide. Some of the kids are rescued, but most of the time, we lose to save their lives. The main goal of this project is to develop and build an octobot for saving a child from an open borewell. There are several methods available to rescue the child. However, using just one strategy might not be feasible. But, these methods/techniques are time-consuming and may not be successful in most cases. To address the problem, we proposed an octobot capable of taking out the child from the bore well methodically. The proposed system comprises a camera, lighting, oxygen source, and balloon technology. Sensors and the camera monitor the child’s depth, position, and state. The child is kept from slipping back into deep with its assistance. And the child is raised on a balloon-filled pillow. The octobot is controlled manually by a human, who also uses a computer or a mobile application to monitor it. According to ongoing assessments, the child is being saved securely, and the necessary medical arrangements may be made to save the child’s life.
