Fire Fighting Robotic System
Abstract
Fire fighting is an important but dangerous occupation. A fire fighter must be able to get to a fire quickly and safely extinguish the fire, preventing further damage and reduce fatalities. Technology has finally bridged the gap between firefighting and machines allowing for a more efficient and effective method of firefighting. Robots designed to find a fire, before it rages out of control, could one day work with fire fighters greatly reducing the risk of injury to victims. To anyone unfamiliar with robotics, for a robot to be autonomous means the robot must operate on its own independent of any human intervention. This project describes such a robot, covering the components and logic required to successfully locate and extinguish the simulated fire. The navigation of the robot throughout the environment is achieved by the data provided by various sensors module like fire sensor module, obstacle detectors.
