ABSTRACT: In today’s commercial, industrial and domestic world, Automation plays an important role, it is actually an arrangement of different elements in order to regulate, direct, sense and command itself to achieve a desired result. “Automatic Fire Fighting Robot” project employs the electrical thermostat technology for the controlling the fire 24 hrs. Robotics has gained popularity due to the advancement of many technologies of computing and nano technologies. So, we proposed to design something that can make humans life easier and comfortable. 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. The aim here is to design a FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT using Arduino system. A robot capable of fighting a simulated household fire will be designed and built. It must be able to autonomously navigate through a modeled floor plan while actively scanning for a flame. The robot can even act as a path guider in normal case and as a fire extinguisher in emergency. Robots designed to find a fire, before it rages out of control, can one day work with fire-fighters greatly reducing the risk of injury to victims. The project will help generate interests as well as innovations in the fields of robotics while working towards a practical and obtainable solution to save lives and mitigate the risk of property damage. KEYWORDS: DC Motor, Relay, Arduino Board, Motor Drive, Flame Sensor. 1 INTRODUCTION Robotics is one of the fastest growing engineering fields of today. Robots are designed to remove the human factor from labor intensive or dangerous work and also to act in inaccessible environment [1]. The use of robots is more common today than ever before and it is no longer exclusively used by the heavy production industries. The need Fire extinguisher Robot that can detect and extinguish a fire on its own is long past due. With the invention of such a device, people and property can be saved at a much higher rate with relatively minimal damage caused by the fire. Our task as engineers was to design and build a prototype system that could autonomously detect and extinguish a fire. Also aims at minimizing air pollution. It is the Robot that can move through a model structure, find a lit candle and then extinguish it with help of a fire extinguisher. Our research paper describes the design of a small autonomous Fire Fighting Robot. We have worked on the same project at our college presenting a synopsis showing its basic construction and working [2]. The Fire Fighting Robot is designed to search for a fire in a small floor plan of a house of the specific dimensions, extinguish the fire with the help of the fire extinguisher, and then return to the front of the house. The fire detection to be put into use is relatively free of false alarms, it is anticipated that it will not overreact in nonfire simulations. This mission is divided into smaller tasks, and each task is implemented in the most efficient manner such as self-autonomous start of the robot, navigation of the robot in every room step by step, finds the fire in a specific room, approaches the fire at a very fixed distance, extinguishes it and finally returning to the front of the house.
