Design & Implementation of an Android Phone Controlled Fire Fighting Robot

Abstract

The project is to develop a robotic vehicle capable of detecting the presence of fire and extinguishing it automatically. It is a movable robot that consists of camera to detecting the fire, gear motor and motor driver for the movement of the robot, relay driver for pump control and bluetooth module which are used for the detecting and extinguishing the fire. Usually, the robot moves at a steady speed. When the camera detects the fire in the robot controlled area , the signal indicating the presence of fire will be sent to the Arduino through which the extinguishing is done. In the extinguishing process , whenever the detection of fire is positive the robot will stop at the place of fire occurred and starts the pump and sprinkle water through a sprinkler until the smoke is put off. The entire control is achieved using Arduino which is interfaced with the android mobile via bluetooth module, so that the control of the robot can be made from an android mobile as well.
