Abstract

Firefighting is a challenging job, and it comes with a risk of loss of life. With some technical advancements, this risk can be reduced. This paper explains the making of a firefighting robot with the help of flame sensors and Arduino UNO microcontroller board. The robot is made to detect and extinguish the fire. A detailed explanation of components used for making the firefighting robot has been provided. Closed loop control diagram and flow chart are provided for better understanding of principle and control process of firefighting robot, respectively. Every action of the robot has been explained using Proteus 8 Professional simulation environment. Finally, the step by step process of hardware connections has been provided.
