Design & Development of an IoT based Firefighting Robot using Arduino

摘要

Increasing human population and technological development has led to an increase in fire accidents and hazards. Adverse conditions and physical limitations of the human being make fire extinguishing a challenging and demanding task. Fire extinguishing is a very risky task and it may involve loss of life. Robotics is the emerging solution to protect the surrounding and human lives. Fire extinguishing robot is a hardware model which can be used for extinguishing the fire during fire accidents. It can reduce the errors and limitations faced by the humans during the fire extinguishing task. Our designed robot can search the area, locate the fire and extinguish the fire before it rages out of control with minimum human intervention. The robot which we have proposed in this paper found its application in fire extinguishing operations during fire accidents which are hazardous and the possibility of the servicemen to enter the fire-prone area is very less
