Automatic Fire Detection Robot

Recent developments in the field of robotics have persuaded us to believe that robot has sufficient intelligence about is surrounding space. Fire accidents may occur due to different reasons ranging from a machine error to personal mistake. Fire emanating from sources that cannot be identified potentially endanger human life and cause a loss of property. The main objective of this research paper is to develop a fire detecting robot that works automatically by examining aspects of its workspace. The flame sensor mounted on top of robot can detect the presence of flames in its vicinity and can avoid obstacles with the help of IR proximity sensors. Robot detects the presence of fire through the sensor within a range of 20cm to 100cm in designated areas. The aim is to make a robot which can follow a certain path and can detect the fire in its surrounding. The robot can be used in the rescue operation. Thus the robot can act as a path guider in normal case and as a fire detector and extinguisher in emergency.
