Project Description:

The Firefighting Robot is an autonomous or semi-autonomous robot designed to detect and extinguish small fires in indoor or controlled environments. Equipped with temperature and flame sensors, the robot can identify a fire source and navigate toward it using motors and obstacle-avoiding sensors. Once near the fire, it uses a water pump or CO₂ module to extinguish it.

This project is ideal for use in smart buildings, warehouses, or as an early response system before human firefighters arrive, especially in dangerous or hard-to-reach areas.

Technologies Used:

• Microcontroller: Arduino / Raspberry Pi / ESP32

• Sensors:

  • Flame Sensor (IR-based) – to detect fire

  • Temperature Sensor (e.g., DHT11, LM35) – to detect heat

  • Ultrasonic Sensor – for obstacle avoidance

• Actuators:

  • Water Pump / Spray Mechanism

  • DC Motors or Servo Motors – for movement

• Connectivity (Optional):

  • Wi-Fi/GSM Module – to send fire alerts

  • Camera – for remote monitoring

• Software (Optional for web/mobile interface):

  • Backend: PHP / Node.js / Java

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript

Core Features:

1. Fire Detection:

   • Detects fire using flame and heat sensors.

2. Autonomous Navigation:

   • Uses obstacle sensors to move toward fire safely.

3. Fire Extinguishing System:

   • Uses a small water tank and pump or fan-based extinguishing system.

4. Remote Monitoring (Optional):

   • Sends alerts to a mobile/web dashboard with real-time status.

5. Manual Control Override:

   • Controlled by mobile app or remote in case of manual operation mode.
