Project Title

fire fighting robot

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

Even though there are a lot of precautions taken for Fire accidents, these natural/man-made disasters do occur now and then. In the event of a fire breakout, to rescue people and to put out the fire we are forced to use human resources which are not safe. With the advancement of technology especially in robotics it is very much possible to replace humans with robots for fighting the fire. This would improve the efficiency of firefighters and would also prevent them from risking human lives.in this project, we will  build a simple robot using arduino that could move towards the fire and pump out water around it to put down the fire.The main brain of this project is the Arduino, but in-order to sense fire we use the fire sensor module (flame sensor). to detect the direction of the fire we can use the motors to move near the fire by driving our motors through the l293d module. When near a fire we have to put it out using water. Using a small container we can carry water, a 5V pump is also placed in the container and the whole container is placed on top of a servo motor so that we can control the direction in which the water has to be sprayed

Project Objectives

this  type of firefighting robot will sooner or later work with firefighters, thus greatly reducing the danger of injury to victims. Apart from this, this Firefighting robotic project will also help generate interest along with the innovations in the field of robotics while operating towards a sensible and obtainable solution to save lives and mitigate the danger to property.

Consists of temperature sensor, smoke sensor, flame sensor, MCU, water pump and geared motor. • The robot continously monitors variation of the surrounding area using these sensors. • Robotic vehicle moves through the disaster area as per the instructions from MCU. • Whenever the temperature exceed a limit value and flame and smoke detected MCU identifies that there is presence of fire and oper ate water pump. • MCU operates the relay through the relay interface. • Audio and visual indications are attached to the robotic system

Project Implementation Method

There are several possibilities of fire in any remote area or in an industry. For instance, in garments godowns, cotton mills, and fuel storage tanks, electric leakages may result in immense fire & harm. In the worst of cases & scenarios, fire causes heavy losses both financially and by taking lives. Robotics is the best possible way to guard human lives, wealth and surroundings. A Firefighting robot is designed and built with an embedded system. It is capable of navigating alone on a modeled floor while actively scanning the flames of fire. The robot could be used as a path guide in a fireplace device or, in normal case, as an emergency device. This robot is designed in such a way that it searches a fire, & douses it before the fire could spread out of range & control.

This type of firefighting robot will sooner or later work with firefighters, thus greatly reducing the danger of injury to victims. Apart from this, this Firefighting robotic project will also help generate interest along with the innovations in the field of robotics while operating towards a sensible and obtainable solution to save lives and mitigate the danger to property.

Benefits of the Project

with the development in the field of robotics, human intrusion has become less and robots are being widely used for safety purpose. In our day-to-day life, fire accidents have become common and sometimes may lead to hazards that make it hard for the firemen to protect human life. In such cases, a fire fighting robot is used to guard human lives, wealth, and surroundings from the fire accidents.

Fire fighting is the act of extinguishing

destructive fires. A firefighter must be able to stop

fire quickly and safely extinguish the fire,

preventing further damage and rescue victims to a

safer location from the hazard. Technology has

finally bridged the gap between fire fighting and

machines allowing for a more efficient and effective

method of fire fighting. Robots were designed to

find a fire, before it rages out of control. The robots

could one day work with fire fighters in reducing the

risk of injury to victims.

A fire fighting robot is capable of detecting fire if a house catches fire while someone in the house is either sleeping or not present in the house. By means of this fire fighting robot, people and properties can be saved from fire accidents.
