Firefighting has been a traditionally dangerous occupation, and a lack of technological innovation has resulted in many and many losses. In addition, current firefighting techniques are ineffective and ineffective, relying too much on people who, no matter how well trained, can make mistakes. The use of robots instead of humans to deal with fire hazards is a recent trend that has attracted attention. This is because they can be used in a situation that is too dangerous for anyone to get involved in. A fire can start in a factory or in a remote area for a variety of reasons. Leaks in electricity, for example, can cause serious damage to the cotton industry, the textile industry, and the petrol industry. In addition, it is a very serious condition, leading to significant financial losses and the destruction of nearby communities. Robots are a viable option to protect human life, prosperity, and the environment. The goal is to create a FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT utilizing an embedded system. It will be created and manufactured a robot capable of battling a simulated home fire. It must be able to travel a modelled floor layout automatically while aggressively scanning for a flame. Under addition, the robot may function as a path guider in regular circumstances and as a fire extinguisher in an emergency. The project will serve to create interest and creativity in the domains of robotics while working toward a practical and attainable result to save lives and reduce property danger.

The fire incident is one of the man-made disasters in Malaysia due to the frequency of reported fire cases recently. The majority of all cases that involved domestic buildings had very catastrophic effects such as property losses, permanent disability to the victim, and death. We are all aware of how fast fire can spread when it rages. Therefore, owners have to be alert at all times to any factor that might lead to any small fire and that is not possible to achieve. As humans, we might get distracted by other surrounding activities but not for robots. Thus, a Fire Fighting Robot has been developed and was controlled by Arduino Uno. It is designed in a smaller size in order to ease small location entry, fully equipped with high sensitivity sensors to achieve the required research objectives of searching, detecting, and extinguishing the fire. The combination of ultrasonic and flame sensors creates a perfect guide for the robot to work effectively. This autonomous robot will search and locate the fire and send a notification to the user through Blynk application; before the extinguishing process occurs. Blynk application will also provide a monitoring platform for the user to receive information including live streaming and flame data. We tested the performance of the robot by varying the distance and size of fire source to the robot. The graph trend line showed that the time taken was linearly proportional to the distance and size of fire. We managed to obtain the equation of the dependent variable from simple linear regression. From the R 2 value of 0.9888 and 0.9865, we can say that it has a strong relationship between both variables. To summarize, the experimental result has proved its capabilities as a reliable fire protection system by searching and extinguishing a fire in time.

One of the objective of today's schools, institutions, and our research prototype is to build an firefighting robot that is controlled by Arduino which is used for exhausting big fire flames remotely. An Arduino, a water tank, and a pump that sprays water as needed make up the prototype. This project use an Arduino Uno microcontroller board to achieve these objectives. The IR sensor that is: infrared receiver: on this prototype come in use for measuring the pack of fire flames. The position of the fire is determined by the heat values of the flame. The motors, which control the vehicle's forward, backward, left, and right motions, receive these data. The Infrared sensor on this is attached to a microcontroller which is an to an Arduino Uno for the function. When the Arduino receives input signal, a driver IC is used to control the motors for motion prototype. It also has a sprinkler that sprays water in a predetermined pattern.

Detecting fire and extinguishing is a hazardous job for a fire extinguisher, it often risks the life of that person. This project aims in giving a technical solution to the mentioned problem. A robot is a mechanical design that is capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer. A fire extinguisher robot is a DTMF tone controlled robot that has a small fire extinguisher unit added on to it. This mobile robot is controlled using a mobile phone through DTMF tones for its movement and reaching the fire, the flame sensor detects the fire and gives the further signal to the extinguisher units to trigger the pump and spray the water. The whole system is programmed using an arduino UNO board (ATmega328P microcontroller) which forms the brain of the system.

The security of home, laboratory, office, factory and building is important to human life. We develop an intelligent multisensor based security system that contains a fire fighting robot in our daily life. The security system can detect abnormal and dangerous situation and notify us. First, we design a fire fighting robot with extinguisher for the intelligent building. The fire fighting robot is constructed using aluminum frame. The mobile robot has the shape of cylinder and its diameter, height and weight is 50 cm, 130 cm and 80kg. There are six systems in the fire fighting robot, including structure, avoidance obstacle and driver system, software development system, fire detection, remote supervise system and others. We design the fire detection system using two flame sensors in the fire fighting robot, and program the fire detection and fighting procedure using sensor based method. We design a low cost based obstacle detection module using IR sensors and ultrasonic sensors in the mobile robot. The man-machine interface of the fire fighting robot must be mobility and convenience. We use touch screen to display system status, and design a general user interface (GUI) on the touch screen for the mobile robot. Finally, we implement the fire detection system using fire fighting robot. If fire accident is true, the fire fighting robot can uses two flame sensors to find out fire source by the proposed method, and move to fire source to fight the fire using extinguisher.

A fire outbreak is a hazardous act that leads to numerous consequences. Detecting a fire at an early stage and extinguishing it can aid in prevention of various accident. Till now we rely on human resource. This often leads to risking the life of that person. Therefore, fire security becomes an important aspect to save human lives. In this paper a fire extinguishing robot has been proposed and designed which detects the fire location and extinguish fire by using sprinkler on triggering the pump. This robot uses three flame sensors for accurate fire detection. This proposed model of Fire Extinguishing Robot using Arduino used to detect presence of fire and extinguishing it automatically without any human interference. It contains gear motors and motor driver to control the movement of robot when it detects any presence of fire and will automatically start the water pump to extinguish that fire breakout. This model robot has a water ejector which is capable of ejecting water at the fire breakout place. The water ejector pipe can be move towards the required direction using servo motor .The whole operation is controlled by an Arduino UNO micro controller.

Recently a survey is conducted on fire accidents and it says that so many people lost their lives in this pandemic situation. To prevent these incidents is also a tougher job for a human because the human tendency is more in making mistakes. If any little mistake is done it causes a huge loss to the people and property also. In computers there is no chance in doing mistakes. Based on this situation we want to build an Arduino based firefighting robot. When there is a fire accident happens in tenth floor building, it is not possible for a fire engine to put out the fire and there is a less possibilities to use a fire extinguisher for a human. The robot is useful to put out the fire where there is no way for a man to move. It detects the fire by a flame sensor and move towards the fire when the robot reaches the fire the robot halts and motor is activated then it sprinkles the water on it and put out the fire. This is the whole point of our project.
