Automation In Mine Rescue And Recovery

Abstract

Robots have a great potential to assist in these underground operations, searching ahead of rescue teams and reporting conditions that may be hazardous to the teams. When explosive conditions exist or when heavy smoke or unstable ground conditions prevent team members from entering a mine, robots can become an invaluable tool. This project is developed for the users to construct a mine rescue robot with different sensors. The heat, gas, humidity, PIR sensors are connected with the Robot. PIR sensor is used to identify whether the person is present inside the mining area at during abnormal condition. Heat, gas, humidity sensors are used to analyze the environment. The Robot has inbuilt microcontroller unit. The entire operation of the robot is controlled by the microcontroller. As soon as the sensors detect anything strange, they send signal to the microcontroller. Accordingly the microcontroller sends signal to ZIGBEE transceiver. ZIGBEE transceiver in the control room receives the information and sends it to the PC. The details about the mining area can be viewed by the user using PC. Robot movements can be controlled by sending commands to the robot from PC using ZIGBEE.
