Abstract

Nowadays, fire accidents are very common and sometimes it becomes very difficult for a firefighter to save a person’s life. It is impossible to appoint a person to keep an eye on a fire hazard where robots can do that. So in such cases a fire-fighting robot comes into play. A robot can detect a fire in the distance. These robots are very useful in industries where the risk of fire hazard is higher. The proposed vehicle can detect the presence of a fire and extinguish it automatically using a gas sensor and a temperature sensor. It consists of gear engines and a car driver to control the movement of the robot. The transmission circuit is used to control the pump and when it detects a fire it will communicate with a microcontroller (Arduino UNO R3) via a Bluetooth module. The proposed robot has a water jet spray that can spray water. The sprinkler can go where it needs to .When going to the fire source it may encounter certain obstacles, and then have the ability to avoid the obstacle. It will provide arduino performance GUI using android. It detects obstacles using ultrasonic sensors up to 80 m high. The connection between the phone and the robot will be possible via Bluetooth which will have a GUI to control the movement of the robot. When the phone is first connected to Bluetooth it will set the module name, baud rate. It is possible to use Bluetooth connectivity between smartphones and microcontrollers. An Android-controlled robot can be easily used in everyday life such as homes, markets, companies etc. Building Android apps on Android SDK is easy and free.
