Design and Implementation of Alive Human Detection Robot

Disasters like earthquakes, tsunami, bomb explosion and floods often cause loss of precious human lives. During such emergency situations, and especially in urban disasters, in order to prevent loss of life and property, various essential services like policemen, fire fighters and medical assistance etc. are deployed. Rescue operations are performed mostly by human and trained dogs, often in very dangerous and risky conditions. Hence, to make the rescue operation more safe and effective, mobile robots have been proposed which detect alive human beings and wirelessly communicate with the rescue team. This work aims to develop an economical robot, which works using AVR MCU, PIR sensor etc. It can be used in areas where rescue is needed. The robot senses the human body temperature using PIR sensor and alarm/indicator indicates the signal when it detects alive body and the message is sent through sms using ZigBee technology to enable rescue operation.
