Description The proposed thesis is in the context of a complex research topic: the problem of accidents due to children falling into the well (at least two per year worldwide), a very current issue following the increasing number of artesian wells due to the desertification of the planet. The outcome is always inauspicious as it is not possible to extract the child, in a timely manner, from a cramped and hostile environment, characterized by low temperatures and high humidity, in which it is impossible to survive for more than a few hours. The extraction intervention involves digging a parallel well in an attempt to reach the depth where the child is.
This project aims to develop equipment to intervene in a timely manner by bringing, at first, refreshment (warm air and refreshing and nutritious liquids) and, at the same time, stabilization of the child at the elevation where he or she is and then extracting the baby. The extraction phase is the most difficult because the baby is often stuck and the space is cramped.
The extraction device proposed here is based on an innovative remote manipulation robot with immersive vision, the result of a collaboration between robotics and virtual reality technologies, which allows it to operate in the well, where access is not possible, with the child's assessment, decision and control.
The activity proposed in this thesis consists of the final design, assembly and subsequent laboratory testing of a mobile robot, previously designed by other thesis students.
