COAL MINE ROBOT

Abstract

Coal mine workers are working in unhealthy environment. Increased level of CO and methane gas, Temperature, Coal dust etc. affects the health of coal mine workers. Hence there is need of effective solution for the same. In our system we use Robot for capturing the data:  CO level  Temperature level  Gas leakage The Robot will carry camera, the output of camera is send to central location or server room where the operator will operate the robot. The path of robot is guided by the commands send by robot operator. Based on the information send by robot, operators get the idea of environment of mine. If any of the value like temperature or the CO level exceeds the threshold value the buzzer will be ring and all the workers in the mine get alerted. Or if sometimes any accident occurs due to gas leakage or roof collapse or any other reason. Rescue operation has to be done. Rescue operation in coal mine is extremely dangerous due to several factors. It is particularly very harmful for the rescuers to get into the coal mine tunnel in disaster without the prior knowledge of environment because the subsequent explosions may likely to occur at any time visual inspection of miners, trapped in collapsed tunnel through a wireless camera. This paper designs an advanced rescue robot for coal mines. It is composed of a mechanism to bear the rest of the subsystems and also to assist the locomotion, a control system to control and a communication system to transfer the environment data acquired through the camera and other sensors. Also it can carry some food and medicine to the miners trapped in the disaster. With the help of this mobile robot, we reduce the loss due to coal mine disaster and efficient rescue operation can be carried out
