Arduino Based Fire-Fighting Robot

Abstract: According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), fire incidents in India killed over a lakh people between 2010 and 2014. The current common tendency is to use robots instead of humans to deal with fire threats where it is practicable to do so. A wildfire is a dangerous act with numerous consequences. Until date, we have relied on human resources to detect and extinguish fires. This has a significant impact on the life of the individual. As a result, fire safety becomes an essential component of human survival. This project has convinced and designed a fire extinguishing robot that locates the fire and extinguishes it with water after the pump is activated. This robot employs three flame sensors to accurately identify fires.
The entire system is programmed using the Arduino UNO board, which serves as the system's brain. Human intervention is becoming increasingly rare, and robots are increasingly being employed for safety purposes. This Arduino-powered Fire Extinguishing Robot detects and extinguishes fires without the need for human interaction. It uses gear motors to activate the water pump, which then extinguishes the fire. A water ejector is included in this model robot, which can eject water at the fire breakout spot. The water ejector pipe can be moved in any direction using the Servo Motor. The robot's design is simple, affordable, and portable, making it a viable commercial prospect. This would increase firefighter efficiency while simultaneously reducing the risk of human life.
