The Design, Implementation and Performance Analysis of a Smart Fire Fighting Robot

Abstract

This research work Titled “Design and Implementation of a Smart Firefighting Robot” focused on developing a robotic system capable of moving to areas where firemen have to risk their lives to put off the fire. Fire disaster occur at any time and at any place without notice, which result in high losses. Due to the damage of buildings and explosive materials, it becomes a major task to save people and to put off the fire. The robot will reduce the risk of injury for firefighters and possible victims and minimize the monitory losses which increase considerably as fire duration increases. It consists of Ultrasonic sensor mounted on the servo motor for obstacle detection and equipped with flame sensors for detecting fire. It has a liquid-tank and spray mechanism for putting off the fire. The spring nozzle is mounted on the servo motor to cover a maximum area. The liquid is pumped from the tank with a 12v pump. The robotic system is programmed using Arduino Uno board which served as the brain of the robotic system.
