Search and Rescue System for Alive Human Detection by Semi-autonomous Mobile Rescue Robot

Abstract

In this modern era, technological development lead the creation of sky scraper buildings and dwellings which increase risks of losing life due to natural and manmade disasters. Many people died by trapping under debris as their presence cannot detect by the rescue team. Sometimes, it is impossible to reach in certain points of the disasters in such calamity hit zones. The situation is worst for developing country like Bangladesh because of low quality design and construction. In this paper, PIR sensor based semi-autonomous mobile rescues robot is developed which can detect live human being from an unreachable point of the disaster area. Joystick and RF technology is used to control the semi-autonomous robot and communicate with control point. Ultrasonic sensor is used for obstacle detection in navigation path of robot and gas sensor is used to detect gas leak inside the building. IP Camera is also integrated to observe and analyze conditions that will facilitate human detection in reliable manner with highest probability of success rate in that kind of situation.
