Develop a Multiple Interface Based Fire Fighting Robot

The security of home, laboratory, office, factory and building is important to human life. We develop an intelligent multisensor based security system that contains a fire fighting robot in our daily life. The security system can detect abnormal and dangerous situation and notify us. First, we design a fire fighting robot with extinguisher for the intelligent building. The fire fighting robot is constructed using aluminum frame. The contour of the robot is cylinder. The diameter is 50 cm, and height is about 130 cm. There are six systems in the fire fighting robot, including structure, avoidance obstacle and driver system, software development system, fire detection, remote supervise system and others. We design the fire detection system using two flame sensors in the fire fighting robot. We design the fire detection system in the fire fighting robot, and program the fire detection and fighting procedure using sensor based method. We design a low cost based obstacle detection modular using IR sensor and ultrasonic sensor in the robot. We think that man-machine interface in the fire fighting robot that must has mobility and convenience, we use touch screen to display system status, and design a general user interface (GUI) on the touch screen. Finally, we implement the fire detection system using fire fighting robot. If fire accident is true, the robot can find out fire source using the proposed method by fire detection system, and move to fire source to fight the fire using extinguish.
