Fire Detection and Extinguishing Robot Using Arduino

The rising frequency and severity of fire events endangers human life and property. Firefighting is a momentous and perilous job. Fire detection and extinguishment are the hazardous job that invariably put the life of a fire fighter in danger. Traditional fire detection and extinguishing systems often face limitations in terms of speed, efficiency, and accessibility. This paper introduces an innovative solution—a Fire Detection and Extinguishing Robot designed to autonomously detect and suppress fires in diverse environments. The robot’s hardware part comprises a combination of sensors including smoke detectors, temperature sensors, and gas sensors, which enables the identification of potential fire hazards in the environment. These sensors continuously monitor the surrounding conditions and provide real-time data to the Arduino controller. The Arduino controller processes the sensor data, employing intelligent algorithms to analyse the inputs and accurately detect the presence of a fire. Upon detection, the robot employs its actuation system, which includes motors and a chemical-based extinguisher, to swiftly move towards the fire source. The robot’s mobility is facilitated by wheels or tracks, enabling it to navigate various terrains with agility. Once the fire source is reached, the robot activates the extinguishing mechanism to suppress the flames effectively. The chemical-based extinguisher, controlled by the Arduino system, releases a targeted stream of ABC powder to mitigate the fire, reducing the risk of further damage and providing immediate firefighting capabilities.
