Project Summary
Our project aims to address the critical issue of natural disasters in suburban communities by developing a comprehensive solution that combines modern technology with natural and innovative approaches to create a resilient living environment.
Key Innovations:
- Hydraulic Flood-Resistant House
- Dome Protection Mechanism
- Sandbag Deployment Robot
- Mangrove Trees as Natural Barriers
- Advanced Sensing and AI
This project offers a holistic approach to disaster management, combining technology with natural solutions. It not only addresses immediate threats but also contributes to long-term resilience and sustainability, enabling communities to live safely in disaster-prone areas and coexist with the forces of nature.
Technical Aspects
- 3D-printed hydraulic lifting mechanism
- Earthquake neutralizers integrated into the base
- Dome protection system made of durable materials like Teflon
- LEGO SPIKE sandbag deployment robot
- Strategically placed mangrove trees as natural barriers
- Arduino-based control system with multiple sensors
- nRF24L01+ Wireless Modules for data transmission
- Python script for data processing and mechanism activation
- AI model developed using Google Teachable Machines
- ESP32 camera module for real-time monitoring
- Web-based control hub using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Societal Impact
Who Will It Help?
Our project is designed to serve communities that are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, and other extreme weather events. It is particularly aimed at regions where people live in close proximity to rivers, coasts, and seismic fault lines.
Importance of the Solution
Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change. Our project addresses this need by providing a comprehensive system that not only predicts and responds to disasters but also helps in the recovery process.
Concrete Example of Application
In a coastal town in Southeast Asia, where flooding is a regular occurrence during the monsoon season, our system could be implemented at a community level. Each household could be equipped with a hydraulic lift system, and the town could have a centralized sandbag deployment robot to protect critical areas like hospitals and schools.
