Major reports are saying that many children were dead due to the unclosed bore wells. The rescue process cannot be handled smoothly because the environment inside the bore well cannot be predicted by easy means. A less expensive robot can be developed with simple mechanisms for controlling will simplify the rescue process. A movable robot capable of adjusting to the bore well dimensions is constructed. The robot has two arms that can be adjusted to rescue the child with the support of camera also aiding in the survival of the baby. Some additional features are also introduced to enhance and ease the comfort of the rescue operation. A compressor is used to fill an air bag that is implemented in this robot to make the rescue operation easy and be comfortable to lift the victim safely. The gas and temperature inside the bore well can be measured using gas sensor and temperature sensor respectively.
