ABSTRACT

• Fire fighting robot is a newly developed design where its function is to reduce the fire fighter risk in the dangerous situations

This project is propose the fire-fighting robot using multiple sensor to detect the fire and extinguish the flame.

The microcontroller PIC 16f877A use to control the operation of the robot.

Two sensor which are distance sensor and flame sensor used to detect flame and avoiding the robot from the fire with predetermined distance.

OBJECTIVE• The objective of this project are divided into 3 parts:

PART A:I.To innovate the robot communicate using voice commandII.To choice the right component for robot III.To apply android application on the robotIV.To design the fire detection system using two flame sensor which is programmed for fire detection

PART B:I.To design the fire detection system using two flame sensor which is programmed for fire detection using sensor based methodII.To develop distance detection in avoiding hitting the wall and approaching the flame

PART C:I.To verify overall operation of whole system using lab view softwareII.To study how to combine all application that we use in one microcontroller

Introduction

• A fireman jobs is to extinguish the fires also to prevent destruction of life, property and the environment.

• Figure 1 shows that the fireman also used fire engine tools and equipments to extinguish fire.

Figure 1: Fire engine

• In this project, we are designing the fire detection system using two flame sensor which is programmed for fire detection using sensor based method.

• To extinguish the fire source, our robot will use fire extinguish and the robot could be controlled by remote and voice command using Android application.

• To complete the project, we are divided into 3 parts ; Part A will be conducted by Ashraff, Part B will be conducted by

Arif and Part C will be conducted by Yusuff.

Problem statement

• Fire fighter is a dangerous job and a lot of brave men are dying every year. To save lives , a fire-fighting robot should take its place. Send a robot in if a building is going to collapse or think of big chemical fires with a lot of heat and not so healthy gases and the danger of explosions or small spaces.

• Fire fighter also have to do so may job:• Rescue • Fire drill • Disaster • Accident

LITERATURE REVIEW

• In the current research, the development of technology on firefighting is in progress around the world. Most of the tools and equipment are manually operated by the fireman. In the new era of technology, the advances technology of firefighting machines is most conquered by the Western Country [1,2]

• Many robot are built autonomous [3,4].

using fan method autonomous robot

DISADVANTAGES OF THIS ROBOT

• Using fan method • Cannot extinguish the big fire • spread the fire

• autonomous robot• Not suitable for open space or open area • Slow to reach and turn of the fire

INNOVATION OUR PROJECT • The innovation has been made in my project which is we use :

• navigation system• We can remotely monitoring and controlling the robot

• voice recognition system• Use android application to control the robot using voice

• Using fire extinguisher tank• Using this method to extinguish the fire• Suitable to all types of fire

METHODOLOGY

Part A:Design of base Triangle Design Square Design

Figure 2: Design Of The Robot

• DC BRUSHLESS MOTOR• Suitable for robotcon and heavy duty • Using power supplier DC 24V

• RUBBER TYRE • Give more tyre grip to hadle the fire extinguisher pressure

• FIRE EXTINGUISHER• Method to turn off the fire• Type A suitable to all type fire • Easy for maintenance

• MICROCONTROLLER PIC 16f877A • Control all the robot process

• DISTANCE SENSOR AND FLAME SENSOR o To protect robot from fire

BENEFIT • IMPACT ON COMMUNITY• To expose the community about new technology • To ceate more better life for community • Encourage everyone to innovate new technology

• IMPACT ON FIRE DEPARTMENT

• Protect fireman from risk they life• Provide facility to fire station to extinguish the fire

COMMERCIALIZATION • Suitable for:

• Fire department • Factory • High explosion area• chemical industrial • Petrol station

Conclusions

• In order to make the robot performs the desired task, a programming development will be executed and to achieve the objective of the project successfully.

• This project will be more focused on the construction of electronic circuit which uses a PIC microcontroller to control the motion of the robot
