The proposal concerns an AI-assisted mine-rescue rover or compact drone for hazardous underground mines in Jharkhand. It should monitor gases, temperature, humidity and structural conditions, transmit video and thermal imagery to surface teams and help locate trapped workers. Rugged mobility, wireless communication and remote situational awareness are central; the intended reduction in rescue risk is not a demonstrated performance claim.
