Untethered robots carry their own power supply in the form of a battery pack, which has a crucial impact on the robot’s performance. Although battery technologies are richly studied and optimized for applications such as electric vehicles, computers and smartphones, they are often a mere afterthought in the design process of a robot system. This tutorial paper proposes criteria to evaluate the suitability of different battery technologies for robotic applications. Taking into consideration the requirements of different applications, the capabilities of relevant battery technologies are evaluated and compared. The tutorial also discusses current limitations and new technological developments, pointing out opportunities for interdisciplinary research between the battery technology and robotics communities.

In present time, children fall in the Borewell due to the carelessness nature of the people in society. The currently available systems to save the child are less effective and costly too. Thus the society is in need of a new technique which is more efficient and effective. In most cases reported so far, a parallel hole is dug and then horizontal path is made to reach the child. It is not only a time taking process, but also risky in various ways. The borewell rescue system is capable of moving inside the same borewell where the child has been trapped and performs various actions to save the child. CCTV camera is used to continuously monitor the child's condition. This system has a high power LED which acts as a light source since light intensity inside the hole will be less. The advancement in the field of automation along with the mechanical design has a great impact on the society. This project includes series of process development from hand drawn sketches to computer generated design. The modern equipments are implemented for various parts of the system, since the system performs a life rescuing activity. The light weight servomotors are implemented for the system's operations. Borewell rescue System is a human controlled computerized system embedded with additional safety devices.

“…The team has participated in national and international robot competitions and has also been acquainted with the actual disaster scenarios [34]. The team is relentlessly pursuing the research and development of rescue robots regarding the control, hardware, sensor-fusion and communication [35] [36] [37] . One of the perennial observations throughout the tests in various scenarios has been the susceptibility of electronic box (housing for processor, motor drivers and other electronic parts) to fail due to the accumulated dust attributed to the atmospheric air intake by the cooling fan.…”

The problem of cooling in rescue robots is similar to that of the entire domain of product development involving electronic systems. When considering mission-oriented rescue robots, this issue becomes more severe, as the tolerance to failure is remarkably low. While cooling is considered indispensable, the hazardous environmental condition of the scene of deployment, comprising of water, dust, toxic gases, or fire, constrains the choices of the method. Hence, the usage of the atmospheric air intake for cooling purposes, which is prevalent among conventional cooling systems within robotics and electronics, may not be viable, demanding a control-volume cooling system. However, such methods involving active elements might be detrimental to energy consumption and ultimately to the rescue mission, since robots in these scenarios have to operate with limited energy availability. Therefore, considering these particular problems associated with rescue robots, this paper introduces and discusses the relevance of thermoelectric cooling in rescue robot systems employed in real-time rescue scenarios. Furthermore, to optimize the energy consumption cost, this paper proposes the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) as the appropriate temperature control method for the thermoelectric element. The analysis includes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based cooling analysis of the robot along with the comparative analyses of uncontrolled cooling and controlled cooling under different available control methods. The results suggest sufficient cooling performance along with optimum energy consumption for the proposed model when compared with other available scenarios, based on different parameters of performance.
