Development and implementation of arduino microcontroller based dual mode fire extinguishing robot

This paper presents the development and implementation of dual mode firefighting robot. The proposed fire extinguishing robot works in either automatic or manual mode. The operation of robot is monitored and controlled by Arduino UNO microcontroller. Complete robot model is simulated using Proteus. The hardware of proposed fire extinguishing robot is implemented and tested. A surveillance camera is mounted on the robot to monitor the movement of robot under manual mode. Real time surveillance can also be obtained from the camera in automatic mode. In automated mode, robot will detect the fire and move to the fire location and water will be pumped to extinguish the fire. In manual mode, user is able to control the whole movement and the pumping action of robot. Location of fire can be detected with the help of camera of robot. After the water is pumped, fire is extinguished to ground level.
