Design of a Human Detection Robot during Disaster

Abstract

Abstract: Disasters can disrupt economic and social balance of the society. Many people die while trapped under debris during natural disasters or manmade disasters. This is because their presence was not able to detect by the rescue team as many challenges arises in the disaster area. After any disaster, it is crucial to rescue defectors. Sometimes the rescue team cannot reach many parts of disaster affected area due to the inability to search for the live person in the debris. In order to detect a human body, a robot is equipped with a specific set of sensors that provide information about the presence of a person in the disaster areas. Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) are the most widely used sensors for surveillance, it detects the alive person who is stuck in the damage caused by disaster. The temperature sensor analyses the temperature around the disaster area. Fire sensor alerts the system if there is any fire accident around the damaged area. Gas sensors alerts the system user so that they can take necessary protocol before rescuing someone. A wireless camera that can transmit live video in low light conditions to the rescue team outside the vicinity. When a human is detected, to get the location of the victim GPS and GSM module is used.
