International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2022

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 accidents. 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 sprinklers 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.

This advanced firefighting robotic system independently detects and extinguishes fire. In the age of technology, the world is slowly turning towards the automated system and self-travelling vehicles, fire fighters are constantly at a risk of losing their life. Even though there are a lot of precautions taken for Fire accidents, these natural/man-made disasters do occur now and then. In the event of a fire breakout, to rescue people and to put out the fire we are forced to use human resources which are not safe. With the advancement of technology especially in Robotics it is very much possible to replace humans with robots for fighting the fire. This would improve the efficiency of firefighters and would also prevent them from risking human lives Fire spreads rapidly if it is not controlled. In case of a gas leakage there even may be an explosion. So, in order to overcome this issue, safe guard live of our hero, our system comes to the rescue. This firefighting robotic system is powered by Arduino Uno development board it consists of the ultra-sonic sensor mounted on a servo motor for obstacles detection and free path navigation, it is also equipped with the fire sensor or flame sensor for detecting and approaching fire it also makes use of water tank and spray mechanism for extinguishing the fire. Water spraying nozzle is mounted on servo motor to cover maximum area. Water is pumped from the main water tank to the water nozzle with the help of a pump. This water pump needs driver circuit as it consumes a lot of current, much more than the controller provides.

The goal of this thesis is to create an unmanned fire extinguisher robot and an automated system. These days, fire mishaps happen often, whether or not humans are involved. A fire incident is a catastrophe that may result in victim fatalities, property loss, and long-term disabilities. Firefighters are generally responsible for responding to fire emergencies, but they frequently face greater risks when putting out a fire, particularly in dangerous locations like nuclear power plants, oil refineries, petrol tanks, etc. They encounter additional challenges when a fire breaks out in a small, congested area because they must navigate between building remnants and other obstructions in order to put out the fire and save lives.

Fire is a fatal incident happens all the time repeatedly again and again all around the world. They are caused either by natural causes or manmade causes. Many people lost their lives in such incidents; they are common people or the crew of the fire fighters as the drones are used in many scenarios across the world. So we decided to build a robotic vehicle which can go at those parts during a fire where man cannot go unlike whether the fire started due to natural causes or manmade causes. Our main aim is to reduce the life loss and property loss happened in the event of fire broken in any area. It will be a robotic vehicle which can go to the place of fire and extinguishes the fire by pumping the water. It will minimize the human casualty at a greater extent as it's a machine so it can operate in the area where temperature is very high due to fire.

Robot is a device, which performs human task or behave like a human-being. It needs expertise skills and complex programming to design. For designing a fire fighter robot, many sensors and motors were used. User firstly send robot to an affected area, to get live image of the field with the help of mobile camera via Wi-Fi using IP camera application to laptop. If any signs of fire shown in image, user direct robot in that particular direction for confirmation. Fire sensor and temperature sensor detects and measures the reading, after confirmation robot sprinkle water on affected field. During extinguish process if any obstacle comes in between the prototype and the affected area the ultrasonic sensor detects the obstacle, in response the robotic arm moves to pick and place that obstacle to another location for clearing the path. Meanwhile if any poisonous gas is present, the gas sensor detects and indicates by making alarm.

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...

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.

In rural/urban areas there are many chances/possibilities a fire accident can happen. For example in elastic companies ,industries ,cotton mills/industries , garments, fuel industries etc., Electric wire accidents can lead to colossal damages. This damages lead to loss of financial and can affect the many mortals in those places. To protect or to take care of the human lives and their wealth such that the motto here is to buildup standalone system. Hence it is capable of doing a simulation of the setup. It is a robot which works automatically navigate through the where the fire or flame is happening and its setup with an alarm. In case of any emergency in surroundings its main aim is to extinguish the fire and send automatic message to a fire station and to the particular owner of the home. This kind of robot was very helpful for the people which can save them and their belongings from the fire accidents. Though it is a robot it doesn't lead the flame which rages out of control and happens less injury to the victims. Since it is a real world application its main aim is to reduce the air pollution. In that case if fire originates when the owner of the house is either sleeping or they may not be in home. By the use of this robot it reduces a much higher rate with equally minimum amount of damages caused.
