Abstract – Fire hazards are a common phenomenon in
Mechatronics: Robot development consists of hardware, electronics and programming to automate our daily tasks and to make or life easier using the concept of mechatronics.
developing countries like India causing loss of lives and property every year. Fire emergencies occur where either a human cannot reach on time or location of fire is hazardous and life threatening for humans to approach and douse the fire. The Design and development of a Fire Fighting Robot will provide an impactful solution for society and help save lives. The solution uses Flame sensors to detect the fire hazard, Microcontroller to analyse data from sensors and decide the right course of managing the fire hazard. After analysing it uses WIFI module as a communicating device to alert a human being in charge of the control by raising an alarm through activation of the LED. The user activates the Fire extinguisher robot using the Blynk application to spray water with the help of a pump onto the fire guided by servo motor to synchronize the direction of water output.
The Firefighting robot that is presented in this paper focuses on providing remote maneuvering capability using a programmable microcontroller ESP 8266 controlled through Blynk Application, detect the fire-affected areas using a flame sensor and then letting the user manually control the robot to douse the fire using a water pump connected to a water storage tank.
1.1 Problem Statement
IR, Servo, Microcontroller, Blynk
Fire outbreaks are known to cause significant loss of life (victims and rescuers) and property. Due to high temperature and presence of potentially hazardous material fire-fighting robots will be useful for extinguishing fire, particularly in places where fire-men cannot reach and work. It can thus reduce human injury from a burning fire.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.2 Objectives
Key Words: Fire-fighting, Extinguisher, Flame Sensor,
Fire hazards are a common phenomenon in developing countries like India causing loss of lives and property every year. According to the India Risk Survey (IRS) 2018, fire outbreak is the third most serious threat to business continuity and operations. Accidents from fires are alarming and devastating So, to minimize losses resulting from accidents and save lives, Fire extinguisher robots will play a vital role. Another aspect is related to the firemen involved in these accidents – they risk their lives while rescuing the victims. The location of the fire accident is important – e.g., chemical mills, garment factories, gas and petrol stations, as it affects the target area including surroundings. This type of accident results in loss to lives, and pollutes the environment. While the government and other regulatory agencies have prescribed fire safety standards and measures, execution and vigilance remain important issues.
Robotics: Robots are automated devices that are capable of performing tasks in an efficient, cost-effective, and accurate manner compared to humans. It has grown in popularity as technology has advanced, minimizing human intervention.
