A SAFE WAY UP: DESIGNING A CHILD RESCUE SYSTEM FOR BORE-WELL ACCIDENTS

Abstract

Incidents of children accidentally falling into open bore-wells have emerged as a serious safety concern, particularly in rural and semiurban areas. Such accidents often lead to lifethreatening conditions due to suffocation, injury, or delayed rescue operations. Traditional rescue methods are timeconsuming, labor-intensive, and frequently unsuccessful, thereby necessitating innovative technological interventions. This project presents the design and development of a Child Rescue System for Bore-Well Accidents, utilizing a robotic/mechanical framework equipped with a controlled lowering mechanism, high-resolution camera, oxygen supply provision, and gripping arms for safe retrieval. The system is designed to be remotely operated, ensuring real-time monitoring and precise movement in confined bore-well spaces. By combining mechanical design, embedded systems, and communication technologies, the proposed solution significantly reduces rescue time while improving safety and success rates. This innovation demonstrates the potential to save lives by providing a reliable, efficient, and practical method of child rescue from borewell entrapments
