Fire Extinguisher Robot
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryFire fighters are primarily tasked to handle fire incidents, but they are often exposed to higher risks when extinguishing fire, especially in hazardous environments such as in nuclear power plant, petroleum refineries and gas tanks.
They are also faced with other difficulties. Fire incident is a disaster that can potentially cause the loss of life, property damage and permanent disability to the affected victim. They can also suffer from prolonged psychological and trauma. Fire fighters are primarily tasked to handle fire incidents, but they are often exposed to higher risks when extinguishing fire, especially in hazardous environments such as in nuclear power plant, petroleum refineries and gas tanks.They are also faced with other difficulties, particularly if fire occurs in narrow and restricted places, as it is necessary to explore the ruins of buildings and obstacles.
The purpose of this project is to design, build, and test a robot capable of extinguishing building and basement fires and effectively replacing a firefighter in highly dangerous situations. The robot will allow for firefighters to not only put out a fire remotely, but allow rescuers to scout a burning building before sending any firefighters inside. The implementation of this robot will increase the safety of firefighters and therefore help mitigate deaths from unsafe conditions. The robot will be controlled by an operator via wireless remote control. The operator will have
visual feedback from the robot through the use an live camera with normal imaging and infrared imaging for low light situations
The methodology is divided into three parts. The first part is on the mechanicals schematics, followed by hardware description and the finally on the programming design. All parts were assembled together and experiments were then performed to determine the optimal distance of QRob to extinguish the fire were carried out.
A. Mechanical Design Structure
B. Hardware Implementation
C. Control Programming
Following are the benefits of Fire extinguisher robot:-
1-To detect the exact direction of the fire source.
2-try to control fire using water and extinguisher.
2-Capability of sensing accurately with increased flexibility.
3-Reduce human effort.
4-Reliable and economical.
5-Not sensitive to weather conditions.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableFollowing are technical details of final deliverable:-
1-application that controls base (i.e wheels, movement etc)
2-a strong base to bear system weight.
3-a system that detect exact direction of fire and source of fire.
4-system that controls fire using water and extinguisher.
