Abstract:
There are many possibilities a fire can start in an industry or in any remote area. For
example, in cotton mills, garments, fuel storages, etc., electric leakages can lead to huge damage.
Also, it’s a worst-case scenario, causing heavy losses not only financially but also destroying areas surrounding it. Robotics is the emerging solution to protect human lives and their wealth and surroundings.
This project consists of a robot made up of servo and DC motor with an Atmel chip the 8bit
ATMega328PU microcontroller in 28 pin DIP packages, water pump and tank and a temperature sensor to protect the robot from high temperatures that can cause it to burn and an RF remote to control the robot having an HD44870 character-based LCD- JHD162A to make it easy for the user to monitor and control the robot.
The over roll goal of this project is to prevent the fire fighters and people from the problem
of fighting fire from close range using methods like fire extinguishers. Fighting fire from a safe
distance saves people from risks like getting burnt and high temperature near the fire and also
people who fear to fight fire from a close distance can use this robot by controlling it using a
remote from a safe distance.
The work is arranged mainly in six chapters, Chapter one includes the introduction of a
firefighting robot. Chapter two discusses the literature related to the system, Chapter three
illustrates the methodologies used in coming up with the working prototype of the system, Chapter four includes system design and analysis, Chapter five contains the implementation and testing of the system and chapter six contains the summary of the work, discussions and recommendations.
