Abstract |
|
Fire Fighting is an extremely dangerous task that has caused severe loss of life and property because of lack in technological advancement. The current firefighting methods mostly employing humans are inadequate, inefficient and are subjected to errors. This paper presents the design and development of a Fire Fighting Robot that monitors a hazardous fire prone area with the feature of continuous scanning for any occurrence of fire. When a fire is spotted it locates the exact source of fire and extinguishes the fire with an extinguisher mounted on the robot. Monitoring a critical area is done by line following mechanism using Infra-red (IR) sensors. Fire detection is also carried out using IR detectors. This robot will find application in monitoring critical fire hazardous site ensuring minimum damage with maximum human safety. |
