| dc.description.abstract | A robot capable of fighting a simulated household fire will be designed and built. It must be able to autonomously navigate through a modeled floor plan while actively scanning for a flame. The robot can even act as a path guider in normal case and as a fire extinguisher in emergency. There are many possibilities a fire can start in an industry or in any remote area. For example, in Pharmaceuticals and life since industries, Chemicals industries, Cosmetics industries, Cotton or Spinning mills, Garments industries, Fuel storages, Food and Beverages industries etc., electric leakages can lead to huge damage. Also, it’s a worst-case scenario, causing heavy losses not only financially but also destroying areas surrounding it. Robotics is the emerging solution to protect human lives and their wealth and surroundings. The aim here is to design a FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT using embedded system. A robot capable of fighting a simulated household fire will be designed and built. It must be able to autonomously navigate through a modeled floor plan while actively scanning for a flame. The robot can even act as a path guider in normal case and as a fire extinguisher in emergency. Robots designed to find a fire, before it rages out of control, can one day work with fire-fighters greatly reducing the risk of injury to victims. The project will help generate interests as well as innovations in the fields of robotics while working towards a practical and obtainable solution to save lives and mitigate the risk of property damage. | en_US |
