SnakeBotSaver

Preventing and reducing risk of hazards in a natural disaster like Earthquake is unavoidable hence, there are government agencies that specialized in reducing risks while conducting the search and rescue operations. The SnakeBotSaver is designed to assist with the penetration of the specific area before the deployment of the search and rescue team. The project can use as rescue equipment and response to the team if ever there is a possible sign of human life through catching the actual footage of the camera and the output in thermal sensor attached to the head of the snake. The whole system is programmed and maintained by the operating system and language of the Raspberry Pi. This study aims to provide the best assistance for the search and rescue team of the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRMO) to minimize the manpower in penetrating the specific location that is affected by the aftermath of an earthquake. This study also aims to provide a snake robot for search and rescue of CDRRMO by planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating the system in terms of its functionality, reliability, efficiency, usability and maintainability. In concluding this study, the researchers attained a mean of 4.09 interpreted as acceptable based on Likert's Scale as a statistical tool used.
