Smart Borewell Child Rescue System and Monitoring

Abstract— To enhance the safety and efficiency of rescue operations when individuals, particularly children, fall into open borewells—a common occurrence in rural India—a robotic borewell rescue system using ESP32 and sensors is proposed. This Internet of Things (IoT)-based system enables real-time monitoring, data collection, and automated rescue tasks through ESP32-CAM modules. The solution offers an energy-efficient, scalable platform capable of delivering alerts, monitoring positions, and assisting in rescue procedures in real time. Unlike traditional methods involving manual trench digging, this approach minimizes risk, complexity, and rescue time.
