Design and Implementation of Intelligent Fire Fighting Mobile Robot

Abstract

This paper illustrates the design and implementation of an intelligent mobile firefighting robot based on the Arduino control platform. The system integrates the sensors of the flame for fire detection and ultrasonic sensors for obstacle avoidance, enabling autonomous navigation in hazardous environments. A set of DC motors drives the robot’s motion, while sensor feedback allows it to identify fire sources, maneuver around obstacles, and extinguish the fire. Experimental results demonstrate that the prototype can successfully locate a fire, plan an effective path, and extinguish it while maintaining collision avoidance. The findings confirm the feasibility of using low-cost embedded platforms for autonomous firefighting applications. Future work suggests the integration of multiple flame sensors for full-room coverage and wireless communication modules (such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) to enable real-time monitoring and control.
