Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an autonomous wildlife rescue device that is capable of providing rescue support to wildlife animal ensuring effective approach to rescuing animals in distress, along with providing a means to monitor animals stuck in any sort of obstructions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Wildlife animals, particularly in remote or protected areas, often face life-threatening injuries or health issues due to accidents, natural disasters, human activities, or environmental hazards. These animals can become trapped in obstacles, suffer from severe wounds, or experience distress due to habitat destruction. Rescuing and providing medical treatment to injured wildlife is crucial to preserving biodiversity and ensuring the well-being of these animals. However, the process of rescuing wildlife presents unique challenges due to the often rugged and inaccessible terrain of their natural habitats, the need to handle animals with care to prevent further injury, and the urgency of providing immediate medical attention. In many cases, injured or sick wildlife cannot reach medical assistance on their own, and human intervention is necessary to ensure survival. This requires specialized equipment capable of safely capturing, transporting, and providing necessary treatment to these animals, often under stressful and hazardous conditions. Furthermore, wildlife rescue efforts require quick and efficient response systems, as delayed intervention can lead to irreversible harm or death. Therefore, the development of advanced technologies and autonomous systems that can support these rescue missions has become essential for ensuring that injured wildlife receives the timely and effective medical care they need.

[0003] Rescuing wildlife animals in need of medical treatment requires specialized equipment to ensure their safety and well-being during the process. Essential tools include animal traps (such as humane cages) for capturing injured or sick animals, stretchers or rescue sleds for transporting them, and protective gloves to prevent injury to both the animal and the rescuer. Rescuers often use nets, ropes, and calming agents like sedatives to safely secure more dangerous or larger animals. To assess and treat injuries, veterinarians rely on portable medical kits containing bandages, antiseptics, syringes, and diagnostic tools. In severe cases, portable x-ray machines or ultrasound devices can be employed for in-field diagnosis. However, animal traps sometimes cause stress or injury to the animal before rescue. The use of sedatives or tranquilizers, while necessary, can have adverse reactions or lead to complications, especially in species with different tolerances. Transporting injured wildlife is challenging, as improper handling can worsen the animal's condition. The equipment itself may also be heavy and cumbersome, limiting the speed of the rescue. Additionally, the need for continuous training and updating of medical knowledge is essential to avoid errors in treatment, which can hinder the success of rescue operations.

[0024] Figure 1 further illustrates an extendable pole 109 with a V-shaped plate 110 attached to the body 101, a hollow tube 111 attached to the plate 110, a motorized cutter 112 installed on the body 101 via a robotic arm 113, multiple compartments 114 arranged in a shelving configuration on outer surface of the housing, a motorized door 115 attached to each of the compartments 114 via hinge joints, plurality of electronic nozzles 116 attached with vessels 117 stored with water and deterring liquid, the vessels 117 configured at side portion of the body 101, an extended rod 118 attached with a circular-shaped ring 119 mounted to the body 101, the ring 119 supports a net, and multiple flashlight units 120 are mounted on upper section of the body 101.

[0025] The proposed invention includes a body 101 preferably in portable cuboidal shape incorporating various components associated with the device, developed to be positioned on a ground surface of a forest area. The body 101 is configured in a way such that comprise a pair of continuous wheels 102 which are driven by motorized wheels 102 positioned underneath the body 101 for translation of the body 101 as per requirement. The wheels 102 allow the body 101 to autonomously maneuver across various terrains in wildlife areas. The body 101 is made up of any material selected from but not limited to metal or alloy that ensures rigidity of the body 101 for longevity of the device.

[0026] A user is required to access and presses a switch button arranged on the body 101 to activate the device for associated processes of the device. The switch button when pressed by the user, opens up an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated microcontroller of the device for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation.

[0027] The microcontroller, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the components linked to it. The Arduino microcontroller is an open-source programming platform.

[0028] After the activation of the device, the microcontroller generates a command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 integrated on the body 101 via a four-bar linkage mechanism 103a for capturing multiple images in a vicinity of the wildlife area. The imaging unit 103 is integrated with a machine learning module for effective wildlife observation and animal classification. The imaging unit 103 incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the imaging unit 103 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the microcontroller.

[0029] The articulated movement is provided to the imaging unit 103 by means of the four-bar linkage mechanism 103a. The four-bar linkage mechanism 103a consists of four rigid links 104 connected by four rotational pairs, typically forming a closed-loop. In the context of articulating the imaging unit 103, the four-bar linkage mechanism 103a converts rotational motion from a drive source (like a motor) into a desired linear or angular motion for the imaging unit 103.

[0030] In accordance to move the body 101 in the wildlife area scanning injured animal, the actuates the wheels 102 to maneuver the body 101 on the wildlife area. The wheels 102 comprise an arrangement of a track, composed of metal or rubber treads, wraps around a series of wheels 102, distributing the body 101 weight evenly. Tensioning of the track ensure the track remains taut to prevent slippage. Upon activation of a direct current (DC) motor associated with the wheels 102 by the microcontroller the wheels 102 rotate, propelling the tracks forward or backward. Sprockets of the track guide the track's movement, while idler wheels 102 maintain tension and support. This arrangement enables the wheels 102 to traverse rough terrain with ease, offering superior traction and mobility of the body 101 over the surface of the wildlife area.

[0031] The mouth portion of the body 101 is configured with plurality of links 104 which are assembled in a cris-cross manner. The links 104 are provided for containing and securing injured animals as per requirement. The links 104 are connected with multiple pin joints such that works as gate for closing opening of the body 101 as per requirement. The user is required to apply pulling force to tilt the links 104 for opening or closing of the opening of the body 101 as per requirement.

[0032] The front section of the body 101 is arranged with a motorized conveyor belt 105 that is designed to move the injured animal inside the body 101 frame. The conveyor belt 105 includes a direct current (DC) motor drives pulleys, which rotate and move the belt 105 along its length. The belt 105, typically made of durable materials like rubber or PVC, carries items from one end to the other. Rollers or idlers support the belt 105 and facilitate smooth movement of the accommodated injured animal inside the body 101 frame as per requirement.

[0033] The conveyor belt 105 is equipped with a pair of extended hydraulic bars 106 such that are positioned both sides of the conveyor belt 105. The free ends of the bars 106 are integrated with motorized grippers 107. The bars 106 are powered by a hydraulic arrangement associated with the device providing extension/retraction of the bars 106 for positioning the grippers 107 in appropriate manner to handle the injured animal inside the body 101. The hydraulic bars 106 and grippers 107 work in relation to the imaging unit 103 for enabling movement of injured animal inside the body 101.

[0034] The microcontroller actuates a hydraulic pump and hydraulic valve associated with the hydraulic arrangement consisting of a hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve and piston that work in collaboration for providing the required extension/retraction to the bars 106 to allow passage of hydraulic fluid from the pump within the cylinder, the hydraulic fluid further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the bars 106 and due to applied pressure, the bars 106 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the bars 106 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. The microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the bars 106 thereby positioning the grippers 107 in appropriate manner to handle the injured animal inside the body 101.

[0035] The grippers 107 comprise an electric motor and linked with the microcontroller. The microcontroller provides a signal relating to the force, position, or the speed required of the gripping. The grippers 107 receives the signal and its motor carries out the gripping of the animal in a secured manner.

[0036] The grippers 107 are integrated with a pressure sensor which works in sync with the imaging unit 103 to monitor animal's sensitivity to touch and observe response of the animal. The pressure sensor comprises of a sensing element known as diaphragm that experiences a force exerted by the grippers 107 while holding the animal. This force leads to deflection in the diaphragm that is measured and converted into an electrical signal which is sent to the microcontroller for optimum pressure to be applied over the animal while gripping in order to prevent any harm to the animal.

[0037] Accordingly, the microcontroller regulates actuation of the grippers 107 that ensures safety and comfort of animal, reducing risk of further injury during transport.

[0038] Post successful accommodation of animal inside the body 101, the microcontroller actuates a sliding arrangement 108 that is integrated on perimeter of the body 101. The sliding arrangement 108 configures each of the bars 106 with the body 101. The sliding arrangement 108 consists of a pair of sliding rails fabricated with grooves in which the wheel of a slider is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in the rotation of the shaft, wherein the shaft converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheel to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the sliding arrangement 108 results in the translation of the bars 106 over the to move the injured animal safely inside for transport.

[0039] While roaming in vicinity of the wildlife area, the imaging unit 103 scan surrounding environment for obstacles or hazardous conditions in real-time. The body 101 is arranged with an extendable pole 109 integrated with a V-shaped plate 110. The extension/retraction of the pole 109 is powered by a pneumatic arrangement associated with the device. The microcontroller actuates an air compressor and air valve associated with the pneumatic arrangement consisting of an air cylinder, air valve and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the pole 109. The air valve allows entry/exit of compressed air from the compressor. Then, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the pole 109 and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends. For the retraction of the piston, air is released from the cylinder to the air compressor via the valve. Thus, providing the required extension/retraction of the pole 109 for positioning the plate 110 near stuck animal to assist in cutting or dislodging any obstructions. All the pneumatically operated components associated with the device comprises of the same type of pneumatic arrangement.

[0040] During the rescue operation of saving the injured animal, the animal is surrounded and protected by a hollow tube 111 is attached to the plate 110 from any potential injury, thereby ensuring animal’s safety while obstruction is being removed. The body 101 is configured with a motorized cutter 112 via a robotic arm 113. The microcontroller actuates the robotic arm 113 for cutting the obstructions. The robotic arm 113 comprises, motor controllers, arm, end effector and sensors. All these parts are configured with the microcontroller. The elbow is at the middle section of the arm that allows the upper part of the arm to move the lower section independently. Lastly, the wrist is at the tip of the upper arm and attached to the end effector thereby the end effector works as a hand to position the cutter 112 in contact with the obstructions.

[0041] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates the cutter 112 to cut the obstructions in appropriate manner. The microcontroller transmits electric signal to the motor of the cutter 112 and the electromotive force induced by the currents flow into the inductive coil of the motor of the cutter 112 rotates the output shaft onto which cutter 112 is connected. Thus, rotation of the output shaft of the motor cutter 112, rotates the connected cutter 112 by which cutter 112 cuts the obstructions when comes in contact with the obstructions.

[0042] The robotic arm 113 provides power and precision to the cutter 112 which is necessary to cut through obstructions, such as branches, that are hindering movement of the trapped animal. The robotic arm 113 works in sync with the imaging unit 103 for precision positioning of the cutter 112 ensuring that only necessary material is cut to release the trapped animal without causing further harm.

[0043] The outer surface of the body 101 is configured with multiple compartments 114 arranged in a shelving configuration. Each of the compartments 114 are stored with various types of food, medicines, and other necessary equipment. Each of the compartments 114 are attached with a motorized door 115 via hinge joints. The motorized door 115 comprises of a door 115 connected to a motor via a shaft in view allowing the user to accommodate multiple items in the respective compartments 114. Upon actuation of the door 115 by the microcontroller, the motor starts to rotate in a clockwise/anticlockwise direction to impart rotational movement to the door 115. Thus, opening the door 115 in view allowing the user to accommodate items in the compartments 114 to open the compartments 114 as per requirement.

[0044] The microcontroller simultaneously, actuates the grippers 107 for easy access to contents of each compartment 114, and transport food from compartments 114 directly towards an injured animal. The grippers 107 ensure efficient delivery of food, particularly when engaged in remote rescue operations or inspections.

[0045] Every compartment 114 is integrated with a Peltier unit and that is actuated by the microcontroller to maintaining an appropriate temperature inside the compartments 114. Each of the Peltier units is based on the Peltier effect that stated that the cooling of one junction and the heating of the other when electric current is maintained in a circuit of material consisting of two dissimilar conductors. The Peltier effect related to production or absorption of heat at the junction of two metals on the passage of a current, such that maintains an optimum temperature of food for extended storage, ensuring freshness and safety of stored items.

[0046] The body 101 is configured with vessels 117 storing water and deterring liquid. The vessels 117 are connected with multiple electronic nozzles 116. The nozzles 116 are capable of directing water or specific deterrents to targeted areas. Each of the electronic nozzles 116, used herein, controls flow of water or specific deterrents by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a microcontroller. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, and water or specific deterrents level in view of dispensing the water or specific deterrents as per the requirement. The nozzles 116 directing water or specific deterrents to targeted areas, providing a controlled and precise application of deterrents when interacting with animals, particularly in large enclosures as per requirement.

[0047] The upper section of the body 101 is integrated with multiple flashlight units 120 and that are actuated by the microcontroller to temporarily blind an animal in close proximity. Each of the flashlight units 120 comprises LED (Light Emitting Diode) which is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The color of the light is corresponding to the energy of the photons and is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor thereby illuminates lights using high-intensity flashes of light to disorient and deter the animal.

[0048] Additionally, the body 101 is arranged with an extended rod 118 which is integrated with a circular-shaped ring 119. The rod 118 is powered by the pneumatic arrangement providing extension/retraction of the rod 118 as per requirement. The circular-shaped ring 119 supports a net designed to easily catch and rescue injured animals, such as birds, and move them inside the body 101 for secure transport. The working of the rod 118 is similar to the working of the pole 109 as mentioned above.

[0049] During rescue operation the relevant authorities or rescue teams are being kept informed with real-time location data as captured by a GPS (Global Positioning System) module is integrated into the microcontroller. The GPS (Global Positioning System) module working in sync with a magnetometer provides enhanced positioning and orientation information of the body 101. The GPS module receives signals from multiple satellites in orbit around the Earth. These satellites transmit precise timing and position information of the body 101. The GPS module receives these signals and uses the time delay between transmission and reception to calculate the distance between the GPS module and each satellite. By triangulating the distances from multiple satellites, the GPS module determines its own position on the Earth's surface. This position is typically given in latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0050] The magnetometer measures the strength and direction of the magnetic field in its vicinity. The magnetometer detects the Earth's magnetic field, which is approximately aligned with the Earth's geographic north-south axis. By utilizing the magnetometer's measurements, the GPS module determine the band heading or orientation relative to magnetic north. The magnetometer provides information about the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, which is compared with the band position information obtained from the GPS module. The outputs of the GPS module and the magnetometer are combined and processed by the microcontroller in order to determine the location of the body 101.

[0051] The relevant authorities or rescue teams access a computing unit linked with the microcontroller wirelessly via a communication module. The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The precise location of the body 101 helps the rescue team to trace the body 101 and marking exact location of animal when the imaging unit 103 detects the animal to be large.

[0052] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0053] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the hollow cuboidal body 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be equipped with motorized wheels 102 for mobility across various terrains, including wildlife areas. The four-bar linkage mechanism 103a supports the AI-based imaging unit 103 for capturing and processing wildlife images, integrated with the machine learning module for classification. The conveyor belt 105, paired with hydraulic bars 106 and motorized grippers 107, secures injured animals inside the body 101 for safe transport. The device also includes the V-shaped plate 110 on the extendable pole 109 to remove obstacles around trapped animals, while the motorized cutter 112 clears obstructions. Multiple compartments 114 store food, medicines, and other supplies, with motorized door 115 providing easy access. Water and deterrent nozzles 116 help manage animal interactions. Additional features include the GPS module for real-time location tracking, pressure sensors for animal comfort, Peltier units for temperature control, and flashlight units 120 for temporarily disorienting nearby animals.
