Abstract
Livelihood and transportation largely depends on the rivers and canals in many countries. The over populated South Asian region is full of such countries. Water is the meaning of life there both positively and negatively; water is the main source of income there, also water is a monster taking thousand of life. Natural disasters like typhoon, storms, tsunami; mechanical failure of manmade water vehicles, accidents and sometimes manmade inventions like looting, hijacking take many life each year. In many cases people get stuck in the middle of the water, and experience a slow and measurable death because of inefficiency of the rescue system. For this purpose, in this paper, we are going to present a system which can provide a minimum cost, least time rescue operation automatically. We tried to use artificial intelligence (AI) and the concept of mobile robots to represents the proposed system. As the countries are not very wealthy our system will try to minimize both cost and time; by considering and comparing all available search algorithms. At the end we will present a comparative result, to find out the most suitable algorithm that can provide us the best results i.e. minimum cost, minimum time and better efficiency.
