Autonomous Fire Extinguisher Rover with Self-Preservation and Emergency Protocols Using Arduino

In this paper, we identify the drawbacks of current fire extinguisher robots (FER) and outline the design and development of a fire extinguisher rover that combines a sophisticated self-preservation program with automated response to fires. Traditional fire extinguisher robot can detect and fight fire but they don’t protect themselves from harsh environmental conditions causing operational failures. In light of this, we have created a rover that fights fires, while also exercising its own fire-stopping measures! At its core, the central processing unit of the rover is an Arduino Mega microcontroller. It is the hardware server and is composed of several sensors and components such as gas sensor, fire sensor, MLX90614 contactless temperature sensor, ultrasound sensor, and HC-05 Bluetooth module which is used for communication In addition, it has Peltier module, DC fan, relay modules, 2 X DC pumps, 4 X DC motors, pipe outlets system and Arduino Uno. Thus, the proposed design will improve not only the safety of the firefighting robot but would also aid to reduce lives lost along with property damage caused.
