Fire Extinguisher Robot: A Smart and Autonomous System for Fire Hazard Mitigation

Abstract

The rapid growth of the human population and technological advancements have led to an increased occurrence of fire accidents and hazards in various settings. The challenging and demanding nature of fire extinguishing tasks, coupled with the physical limitations of human responders, necessitates innovative solutions to mitigate these risks effectively. One such solution is the development of fire extinguishing robots, which offer the potential to safeguard both human lives and the surrounding environment. This research introduces a hardware model of a fire extinguishing robot designed to address the complexities associated with fire suppression tasks. The robot's primary objective is to detect and extinguish fires swiftly, ideally before they can escalate and cause significant damage. By assuming the role of fire suppression, these robots can significantly reduce errors and overcome the limitations faced by human responders. Our designed fire extinguishing robot possesses several key functionalities. It autonomously explores the area, identifies the location of the fire, and efficiently extinguishes the flames, preventing uncontrolled fire outbreaks. Moreover, this robot demonstrates versatility by effectively handling various types of fires across diverse geographical locations. It navigates through structures while actively scanning for signs of fire, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Additionally, the robot is equipped with an array of sensors capable of monitoring critical parameters such as temperature, humidity, obstacles, and distances. These parameters are displayed in real-time on an LCD interface, providing essential data to operators. The robot's operation is streamlined through a user-friendly Bluetooth Terminal App, allowing remote control and providing users with real-time updates on fire status. In practical applications, our fire extinguishing robot shines in scenarios where the risk to human servicemen entering fire-prone areas is exceptionally high. Compared to existing robotic solutions, our system distinguishes itself by its ability to provide real-time data feedback, making it an invaluable tool for fire mitigation and prevention.
