Smart Multi-Functional Fire Fighting & Gas/Smoke Detective Robot Car

Abstract

In recent years, the demand for intelligent and autonomous systems for fire detection and mitigation has grown exponentially due to increasing fire hazards in both residential and industrial environments. The "Multifunctional Fire-Fighting Robot Car" aims to offer a compact, efficient, and cost-effective solution for early fire detection, immediate alerts, and manual intervention via wireless control. This robot integrates multiple technologies including gas and smoke sensors, Bluetooth for manual control, Blynk for real-time LED notification, and GPS based location tracking with automatic SMS alerts in case of hazard detection. The robot is designed to detect harmful gases or smoke using onboard MQ series sensors and notify the user through the Blynk IoT platform with an LED indicator. Additionally, it allows manual navigation through a Bluetooth-enabled mobile application, providing flexibility in firefighting operations in inaccessible or hazardous areas. One of the key features includes automatic SMS alerts with real-time location coordinates, enabling swift action by alerting authorities or users. This robotic platform is built on a mobile chassis with DC motors, controlled via a microcontroller (e.g., ESP32), and integrated with modules like GPS, GSM, and gas sensors. The hybrid control system ensures both automation and user-driven maneuverability, enhancing its utility in various emergency scenarios. The robot offers a practical blend of IoT and robotics to promote safety and proactive fire management. This project serves as a scalable and upgradable platform for future development in automated disaster management systems. Its multifunctional approach provides a comprehensive response system that could significantly reduce response time and damage during fire emergencies. The implementation of such a robot could be a valuable addition to safety infrastructure in homes, warehouses, factories, and public buildings.
