Hello Everyone
I am developing RESQ-X an engineering project designed to explore how robotics can help rescue teams inspect dangerous areas after earthquakes. The goal is to build a remotely operated robot that can explore uneven places provide information and help move small obstacles. Planned features include:
Raspberry Pi 5 as the main computer.
Live video using a Raspberry Pi Camera Module.
Remote control using a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller.
Thermal sensing using an MLX90640 sensor to observe temperature differences.
Servo powered lifting mechanism designed to move small rocks and lightweight debris.
AI assisted driving to explore autonomous navigation. The project is being developed for the CCAAIBWS Project Olympiad. My goal is to develop and test the prototype see the results and if I win i will be on the next step more advanced that will be in London iWISE. This project allows me to explore robotics, electronics, programming and practical engineering while working on a real world challenge.
