Automatic Fire Detection System Using Adaptive Fusion Algorithm for Fire Fighting Robot

Abstract

Multisensor fire detection algorithm (MSFDA) is one of the current important research issues for intelligent building. First, we design a fire fighting robot with extinguish for the intelligent building. The fire fighting robot is constructed using aluminium frame. The contour of the robot is cylinder. The diameter is 40 cm, and height is about 80 cm. There are six systems in the fire fighting robot, including structure, avoidance obstacle and driver system, software development system, fire detection, remote supervise system and others. We design the fire detection system using three flame sensors in the fire fighting robot. The adaptive fusion method is proposed for tire detection of fire fighting robot. We use computer simulation to improve the method to be adequate for fire detection. We design the fire detection system in the fire fighting robot, and program the tire detection and fighting procedure using sensor based method. Finally, we implement the fire detection system using fire fighting robot. If fire accident is true, the robot can find out fire source using the proposed method by fire detection system, and move to fire source to fight the fire using extinguish.
