Fire accidents are disasters that can cause loss of life, property damage and permanent disability to victims. There will be a major crisis that will cause serious problems in nuclear power plants, oil refineries, oil storage tanks, chemical factories and other large-scale industries. Thousands of people died in such events. For this reason, a innovation idea was developed to control the fire with robotic vehicles. With the development of the robotics industry, human intervention is decreasing day by day and robots are widely used for security purposes.
Detailed Description of the Invention
Firefighters are designed to replace people in hazardous areas, allowing firefighters to be safer while providing effective firefighting. Firefighters can be used to monitor dangerous areas and help put out fires. Fire accidents are very common in our daily life and sometimes it is difficult for firefighters to save people's lives. In this case, the fire robot appeared. Fire extinguishers are small, emergency equipment that assist firefighters in fighting high-pressure fires, especially in high-pressure areas.
The main aim of our automatic fire fighting robot is to extinguish fire without the involvement of humans. The development of firefighting robot used both software and hardware systems. Under software requirements, IOT based Arduino UNO is used and C programming language is used for coding purpose.
Flame sensor is a sensor that produces response to light. It gives digital signal as an output. Flame sensor works by detecting the ultraviolet and infrared rays in the flame. As a result, fire will be detected by the sensor. The servo motor will rotate 90 degrees in both the directions. The water pipe is attached at the top of the servo motor so that the water can be sprinkled all over the fire. Arduino UNO board is used in controlling the firefighting robotic system. Fire is given as input to the robotic system by the user. It detects fire which is at distant using flame sensor. When the fire is detected by the flame sensor the water will be sprayed on it. For obstacle identification and free path navigation, a servo-motor is mounted with a fire flame sensor for sensing dangerous smoke, an internal temperature sensitivity (LM35) for more accurate readings of temperature, and a fire flame detector (IR) to identify and perceiving an impending fire. Additionally, a reservoir for water and an automatic spray cannon mechanisms are used to put out the fires. Water circulates from the primary water reservoir to the water supply nozzles using the help of a 12V pumps.
The firefighting robotic system is implemented in the following way. It consists of flame sensor, servo motor, L293D motor driver module, water pump etc. Flame sensor can detect flame or fire at 750 nm wavelength, distance of 20 cm and at an angle of 60. Its operating voltage is 3.3-5V. The robot continuously monitors variation of the surrounding area using these sensors. Robotic vehicle moves towards the fire as per the instructions. Whenever it detects the flame, it identifies that there is presence of fire and operate water pump. In this way the fire is detected and is extinguished using water.
The working flow of a firefighting robot typically involves several steps, including detection of the fire, navigation to the fire scene, fire suppression, and monitoring. Here's a general overview of how a firefighting robot operates:
Fire Detection: Firefighting robots may be equipped with various fire detection systems, such as thermal imaging cameras, smoke detectors, or gas sensors. These sensors help the robot identify the presence and location of a fire. Navigation: Once a fire is detected, the robot uses its mobility capabilities to navigate to the fire scene. It may utilize cameras or sensors to map the environment, detect obstacles, and plan the most efficient path towards the fire. Fire Suppression: Upon reaching the fire, the robot engages in fire suppression activities. It can deploy firefighting mechanisms, such as water cannons, foam cannons, or dry chemical extinguishers, to extinguish the flames. The robot may be remotely controlled by firefighters or operate autonomously based on pre-programmed instructions. Safety Measures: Firefighting robots are designed to prioritize safety. They may have built-in sensors to monitor environmental conditions, such as temperature, smoke levels, or gas concentrations. This allows them to assess the severity of the fire and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Communication: Firefighting robots often have communication systems to relay information back to human operators or firefighters. This includes real-time video feeds, sensor data, or status updates regarding the firefighting operations. This communication enables effective coordination between the robot and human responders. Monitoring and Post-Fire Assessment: After suppressing the fire, the robot may continue to monitor the area for potential reignition or hotspots. It can also assist in post-fire assessment by gathering data or providing insights about the affected area to aid in subsequent firefighting operations or investigations. It's important to note that the specific working flow of a firefighting robot can vary depending on its design, features, and the intended application. Different models may have additional functionalities or specialized equipment to tackle specific fire scenarios or challenges.
A firefighting robot is an autonomous or remotely operated machine designed to assist in fighting fires. These robots are specifically designed to navigate hazardous environments and perform tasks that would otherwise be dangerous for human firefighters. They are equipped with various technologies and tools to combat fires effectively and minimize human risk.
Here are some key features and capabilities commonly found in firefighting robots: Mobility: Firefighting robots are designed to move across different terrains and navigate through obstacles commonly found in firefighting scenarios. They can operate on rough surfaces, climb stairs, and maneuver through narrow spaces. Fire Suppression: These robots are equipped with firefighting mechanisms such as water cannons, foam nozzles, or chemical extinguishers to suppress and extinguish fires. They can accurately aim and deliver the firefighting agent to the flames. Heat and Smoke Resistance: Firefighting robots are built to withstand high temperatures and are often equipped with heat-resistant materials to protect their internal components. They may also have sensors to detect heat levels and monitor environmental conditions. Sensing and Perception: These robots are equipped with various sensors, including thermal cameras, gas detectors, and optical sensors, to identify the location and intensity of fires, detect hazardous gases, and navigate in low visibility conditions. Communication and Mapping: Firefighting robots can establish communication links with human firefighters and command centers to transmit data, receive instructions, and provide real-time situational awareness. They may also use mapping and localization systems to navigate through buildings or outdoor environments. Remote Operation and Autonomy: Depending on the design, firefighting robots can be remotely operated by human operators who control their movements and actions from a safe distance. Some robots are also capable of autonomous operation, using pre-programmed algorithms to perform firefighting tasks independently. Rescue Capabilities: In addition to firefighting, some robots are equipped with features to assist in search and rescue operations. They may have robotic arms or tools to move debris, locate survivors, or provide medical aid. Firefighting robots offer several advantages, such as reducing the risk to human firefighters, accessing hazardous areas more quickly, and operating continuously without fatigue. However, they also have limitations, including the need for human oversight, limited maneuverability in certain environments, and the inability to replicate all the capabilities of human firefighters. Overall, firefighting robots are valuable tools in modern firefighting operations, assisting human firefighters in combating fires more effectively and safely. Ongoing advancements in robotics and AI continue to enhance their capabilities, making them increasingly valuable in emergency response scenarios.
