International Journal of Engineering and Technology

The motivation behind this project is that firefighter's death. Many firefighters are struggling to perform their duty which causes much death while on a mission and the circumstances related to each incident. Firefighters are our heroes and our sense of security in times of trouble. They put themselves on dangerous situations to protect us. At present, the world is moving toward the use of technologies software and hardware. This paper proposed a smart firefighting robot system (LAHEEB) which designed to detect the source of fire, extinguish it and increase the knowledge about fire behavior from incident area. This Robot can extinguish different types of fire A, B, C, D, F/K, electric and metal fire without spreading in the shortest time. This robot will reduce the risk of injury for firefighters and possible victims and decrease the monetary losses which increase considerably as fire duration increases. LAHEEB consists of the ultrasonic sensor mounted on a servo motor for obstacles detection and equipped with flame sensors for detecting fire. It also makes use of liquid-tank and spray mechanism for extinguishing the fire. The spraying nozzle is mounted on a servo motor to cover maximum area. Liquid-extinguisher is pumped from the main tank to the nose with the help of a 12V pump. The whole system is programmed using an Arduino UNO board (ATmega328P microcontroller) which forms the brain of the system.

Urbanization and changes in modern infrastructure have introduced new challenges to current firefighting practices. The current manual operations and training including fire investigation, hazardous chemicals detection, fire and rescue are insufficient to protect the firefighter's safety and life. The firefighting and rescue functions of the existing equipment and apparatus and their dexterity are limited, particularly in the harsh firefighting environments. It is well-established that data and informatics are key factors for efficient and smart firefighting operation. This paper provides a review on the robot-assisted firefighting systems with interdisciplinary perspectives to identify the needs, requirements, challenges as well as future trends to facilitate smart and efficient operations. The needs and challenges of robot-assisted firefighting systems are firstly investigated and identified. Subsequently, prevailing firefighting robotic platforms in literature as well as in practices are elaborately scrutinized and discussed, followed by investigation of localization and navigation support methods. Finally, conclusions and future trends outlook are provided.

Increasing human population and technological advancement has led to increase in the fire accidents. The physical limitation of humans and adverse conditions makes fire extinguishing challenging and demanding task. Extinguishing fire manually by human being is very risky task and it may involve loss of life. Robotics is the emerging solution to protect human lives and their wealth and surroundings. Fire fighting robot is a hardware model which can extinguish fire during fire accidents. It can reduce the errors and limitations faced by the human fire fighters. Robot can search the area, locate the fire and extinguish the fire before it rages out of control. In this paper we have designed a fire extinguishing robot that can extinguish any kind of fire accurately and effectively. It is able to navigate through the building while actively scanning for the flame. It can send various data from the sensors to the cloud and operated wirelessly by any person. With the help of Internet of thi...

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.

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.

Abstract— A fire fighter run into risky situations while extinguishing fire and rescuing victims. In contrast, a robot can function automatically or can be controlled from a distance, so that firefighting and rescuing activity could be executed by using a robot instead of putting fire fighters at risk. This robot uses gear motors, microcontroller, sensors, RF controller and an extinguisher. Microcontroller acts as the brain of the robot. Fire Fighting Robot continuously monitors the temperature of four temperature sensors fixed at four sides of the robot and if presence of fire is found to be true, the robot moves in the direction to which the temperature is relatively high among the four sensors and puts down the fire with the extinguisher. As the fire sensors sense the fire, it sends signal to the microcontroller via a comparator circuit. As soon as microcontroller receives the signal an alarm sounds. Also a predetermined message will be sent to the fire station using GSM modem. A...
