Integration of Advanced Obstacle Avoidance in Automated Robots to Enhance Autonomous Firefighting Capabilities

Abstract

The integration of obstacle avoidance and fire extinguishing in robots is essential for large-scale projects. This paper presents the design, development, and performance evaluation of autonomous robots with fire detection and extinguishing capabilities. Using fire and temperature sensors for accurate detection and ultrasonic sensors for obstacle avoidance, the robot navigates dynamic environments while adhering to safety requirements. The paper details the selection and integration of hardware components, including sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers, and evaluates the robot's performance under varying environmental conditions. Experimental results highlight the robot's adaptability to complex scenarios and weight changes. The study also explores future improvements, such as advanced decision-making algorithms, aiming to enhance autonomous robotics for emergency situations and effective communication in critical scenarios.
