Fire Extinguishing Robot

Abstract

The aim of this project is to contribute to the development of automation systems and to design an unmanned fire extinguisher robot. By this purpose, an attempt was made to develop a mobile robot in order to detect fires (simulated with fire, candle) that could occur in a closed environment. Designing robot able to motion by using the (rotor motor), find the flame by (flame sensor), and it progresses in conjunction with the search for the fire when it founded the fire and all of this is controlled by the microcontroller (Arduino Mega). The robot can move on the specified route without being caught in the obstacles, and conducts a fire scan as it moves. By using the microcontroller module on it evaluates the data in the direction of the software and performs obstacle detection, flame detection, actuation, informing and extinguishing processes using IoT platform called Blynk Robot design and application process; The design and development of the mechan?cal system, the design and development of the electronic system, and the preparation of the necessary software.

Existing System

Firefighting is an important but dangerous occupation. Robots are designed to find a fire, before it rages out of control, could one day work with fire fighters greatly reducing the risk of injury to victims. l Fire Fighting Robot Competition is a contest purposely to simulate the real-world operation of an autonomous robot rescuing 10 victims (table tennis balls) and stop 5 fires (emergency candles) in a house within three minutes. The robot development is consisting of three elements which is the hardware, electronic, and programming. The robot has three DC motor, two for driving system and another single DC motor for ball suction subsystem and the fire blowing subsystem. Various sensors are also interfaced with PIC16F877A as a feedback to the robot such as photoelectric sensors, fiber optic sensor and RGB color sensors. LCD display also gives the graphical information of the robot status to the user. For the programming part, C language is used to determine the robot action gain from the sensors input.

Proposed System

The robot can move on the specified route without being caught in the obstacles, and conducts a fire scan as it moves. By using the microcontroller module on it evaluates the data in the direction of the software and performs obstacle detection, flame detection, actuation, informing and extinguishing processes. We control the water extinguish and motion using a IoT application called Blynk. The app is one of the easiest to control the robot. We have used an IP camera to control the Robot design and application process; The design and development of the mechan?cal system, the design and development of the electronic system, and the preparation of the necessary software. During the design and development of the mechanical system; Draft drawings, measurements, computer aided design and solid modelling programs. The robot designed in the study was able to detect fire sources randomly placed in random obstacle areas and extinguished with determined fire extinguishing systems.
