“Design and Implementation of a Microcontroller-Based Borewell Rescue System with Drone-Assisted Monitoring.”

Abstract: Borewell accidents involving children have become a distressing and recurring tragedy, particularly in developing regions. Traditional rescue methods are time-consuming and often life-threatening. This paper presents the design and implementation of an innovative, cost-effective, and modular Microcontroller-Based Borewell Rescue System integrated with Drone-Assisted Monitoring. The system uses a NodeMCU microcontroller to control mechanical components such as a motorized rescue platform and a gripper unit, while a drone provides real-time visual surveillance. The proposed system was successfully tested under simulated conditions and offers a significant step toward safer and more efficient borewell rescue operations.
