Design and Fabrication of an Android Phone Controlled Fire-Fighting Robot

Abstract

Nowadays, fire accidents are very common and sometimes it becomes very hard for a fireman to protect someone’s life. It is not possible to appoint a person to continuously observe weather accidental fire has started where robot can do that. Robot will detect fire remotely. These robots are mostly useful in industries. The proposed vehicle is able to detect presence of fire and extinguishing it automatically by using temperature sensor. The proposed robot has a water spray which is capable of sprinkling water in 1800 angle. The sprinkler can be move towards the required direction. At the time of moving towards the source of fire it may happen that it will come across some obstacles, then it has obstacle avoiding capability. It detects obstacles using ultrasonic sensors. Communication between the mobile phone and robot will take place through Bluetooth, which will have GUI to control the movement of robot . When mobile gets connected to Bluetooth firstly it will set module name, baud rate. It is feasible to implement Bluetooth communication between smartphones and micro controller. Android controlled robot can be used easily in everyday life such as in homes, market, companies etc. The development of apps for Android in Android SDK is easy and free of cost
