This project tackles the problem of coal mine accidents which results in the death of
several people per year. It is found that the rate of fatality in the coal mine industry
is nearly six times the rate of for all private industry. And most of these accidents
are due to toxic gases, fires and lack or rescue systems. By implementing a rescue
robot, which can move around in the coal mine industry and detect obstacles as
well as the level of different toxic gases can report them live in real time to the
human control room.
area. Also, this robot can be controlled by human rescue team which will roam
around and give live feedback in the control room in case of an accident so that the
rescue team can be immediately informed.
Solutions adopted and the reasons for that
Out of the above two solutions the solution that has been adopted is the rescue
robot because in this project we are giving emphasis on developing a system that
can be controlled, will be low cost and embedded with the technologies such as
obstacle detector, gas detector. To succeed in this attempt we designed the project
using an (name of controller) microcontroller which has low power consumption,
long lasting and fast in terms of processing. Unlike detection probe where we cannot
control the movement, the rescue robot is designed in such a way so that it
movements can be controlled by any computer or smartphone which has a
bluetooth receptor, allowing wider range of operation.
