Firefighting Robot Using Arduino: A Fire Detection and Suppression System

摘要

Some of the risks that fire incidents present involve destruction of property and sometimes even the loss of human life. Traditional firefighting operations usually require human intervention, which can be unsafe, especially when there are extreme temperature environments or toxic gases around. The design and development of an Arduino-based autonomous firefighting robot that can detect and extinguish fires without human help is presented. The system sends commands to servo motors and waterfalls from a water pump through flame sensors to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible along the direction of the fire. This enhancement shall serve to increase operational efficiency and safety within firefighting activities.
