Water Rescue Robot
This project has been designed to aid in the search and rescue of humans in scenes like sea, river, lake, reservoir etc. About two-thirds of all fatalities in floods and other natural disasters are caused by drowning. Due to the inability to provide timely help, many people lose their lives. Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide. Water needs to be only 6 inches high for it to cause destruction. Many people are sometimes unable to get timely help and cannot be rescued due to the ineffective modes of rescue operations. Under such conditions, saving the drowning people becomes a serious challenge for everyone. Having a water rescue robot will sufficiently reduce these risks and more people will be able to get help in a short span of time. Humans can easily rely on this smart robot to rescue them from drowning and safely bring them back to land.

The robot will be controlled via a joystick. This will allow the user to control whole movement of the robot thus making it more reliable in emergency situations. A camera will be used to get live video streams from the robot to the user’s mobile phone. This will enable the user to see everything, no matter how far the robot goes and will also enable them to navigate and control the robot according to the situation. Moreover, it will also have an LED strip so that it’s easier to see at night or in bad weather. This will ensure that instead of being stuck in flood water, or any water body in general, these people can be rescued in a more effective and faster way.

Water Rescue Robot
OVERVIEW: About two-third of all fatalities in floods are caused by drowning. Due to in availability of timely help, many people lose their lives. This project focuses on designing a water rescue robot that aids in rescuing humans. Many lives can be saved using this robot during flood in shot span of time, which becomes time consuming and unaffected if done manually.

DESCRIPTION: RC transmitter has been used to control the movement of the robot. The robot moves towards the drowning person according to the received signal. It then brings the person safely back to land with the movement being controlled by the user.
