Abstract
This invention refers to an innovative, original and convenient Autonomous System for Rescue operations, which works on the vessel, program controlled by a software and hardware platform rescuing people overboard in an autonomous manner. The System starts operating from the moment the person falls off the deck into the water. From the moment the wrist band on the passenger makes contact with the water, it sends out a radio frequency signal with two orders: to activate an alarm and to notify a robot to start rescue operation, and it brings it to the vessel with no intervention from people, i.e., in an intelligent and autonomous manner.
Claims7
An autonomous rescue system for passengers of vessels comprising:
- a signal transmitter wristband with water sensor;
- a multi-band radio transmitter with antenna and batteries;
- a GPS device providing geostationary position to the radio, and coordinates that is transmitted through the radio to a system processing the information from the triangulation with a first way and a second way to find a person wearing the transmitter wristband;
- wherein the first way is by triangulation and the second way is geostationary position with GPS
- wherein a robot is propelled into the water from a dock searching for the geostationary position and the triangulation of the transmitting radio, wherein once the person wearing the wristband is found, the robot magnetically adheres to such wristband, wherein at that point, a lifeline is activated and a buoy, which keep the robot floating and the robot sends a radio signal to the dock, which contains a winch and starts pulling the power cable from the robot, bringing back the person to the vessel.
