FIRE
FIGHTING ROBOT USING ARDUINO
Firefighters continue
to risk death as the world gradually moves towards automated systems and
self-driving cars. If a fire is not extinguished, it spreads quickly.
Therefore, our system intervenes to solve this problem and protect our hero's
life. An Arduino Uno development board powers this firefighting robotic system,
which also has a flame sensor to detect approaching fires and a water tank and
spray mechanism to extinguish the flames. A water spray nozzle is attached to
the servo motor for optimal coverage. The water pump is used to pump water from
the main water tank to the water nozzle.
So in this tutorial we
will make a fire fighting robot with the help of Arduino, flame sensor and
servo motors. We have previously built a line tracking robot, a tracking robot
car, an obstacle avoidance robot, a light tracking robot.
ABSTRACT
Fire is a disaster that
can potentially cause loss of life, property damage and permanent disability to
the affected victims. Major fires occur in industries such as nuclear power
plants, oil refineries, gas reservoirs, chemical plants and other industries
with large-scale fires, which have very serious consequences. Thousands of
people have lost their lives in such accidents. Therefore, this project is
extended to control fire using a robotic vehicle. With the advancement in
robotics, human intervention is decreasing day by day and robots are widely
used for security purposes. In our daily life, fires are very common and it is
sometimes very difficult for firefighters to save human life. In this case, a
fire robot will appear.
INTRODUCTION
The fire robot can be
used to control the fire. This robot can detect fire by itself and control the
fire by throwing water. We use some sensors that can detect the fire and the
robots can move there to put out the fire. The fire fighting robot has the same
structure as the Bluetooth-controlled RC car. The robot has 3 sensors 1 sensor
on the front side which monitors if there is anything in front of the robot and
two more in both front corners which also looks for fire. If any sensor detects
a fire at any location, the robot will notice it and move towards it. The fire
fighting robot has 4 wheels, 3 sensors, one water tank, one nozzle and a
computer to help it make decisions based on the Arduino code.
The bot is a small version until the release date and there are only a few basic functions, when you start the bot it will move forward until it is shot anywhere. if any sensor of the robot finds a flame anywhere, it will start moving towards the flame and start watering the specific area using the water nozzle of the fire fighting robot using Arduino. The fire-fighting robot and the line-following robot have the same sensor, but the work in both conditions is different.

CONCLUSION
This
project describes a real-time firefighting robot that moves at a constant
speed, identifies a fire and then extinguishes it using a pumping mechanism. It
has advantageous features such as the ability to automatically detect the
location of the fire, in addition to having a compact body and lightweight
construction. The robot can be used in a place with a small entrance or in
small spaces because of its compact design. The system could potentially be
useful for accompanying firefighters and preventing outbreaks. The operator is
able to extinguish the fire using a remote control at a greater distance.
Operators can also monitor environmental conditions during the firefighting
process using a camera. From the experimental results, the robot can accurately
detect smoke and fire within a short period of time.
