With the development in the field of
robotics, human intrusion has become less and robots are being widely
used for safety purpose. In our day-to-day life, fire accidents have
become common and sometimes may lead to hazards that make it hard for
the firemen to protect human life. In such cases, a fire fighting robot
is used to guard human lives, wealth, and surroundings from the fire
accidents. This fire fighting robot project is an advanced project for engineering students, who are interested in robotics. This project project incorporates RF technology for remote operation and also uses 8051 microcontroller.
A fire fighting robot is capable of detecting fire if a house catches
fire while someone in the house is either sleeping or not present in the
house. By means of this fire fighting robot, people and properties can
be saved from fire accidents.
Working of Fire Fighting Robot Project
There are several possibilities of fire
in any remote area or in an industry. For instance, in garments godowns,
cotton mills, and fuel storage tanks, electric leakages may result in
immense fire & harm. In the worst of cases & scenarios, fire
causes heavy losses both financially and by taking lives. Robotics is
the best possible way to guard human lives, wealth and surroundings. A
Firefighting robot is designed and built with an embedded system. It is
capable of navigating alone on a modeled floor while actively scanning
the flames of fire. The robot could be used as a path guide in a
fireplace device or, in normal case, as an emergency device. This robot
is designed in such a way that it searches a fire, & douses it
before the fire could spread out of range & control.
This type of firefighting robot will
sooner or later work with firefighters, thus greatly reducing the danger
of injury to victims. Apart from this, this Firefighting robotic
project will also help generate interest along with the innovations in
the field of robotics while operating towards a sensible and obtainable
solution to save lives and mitigate the danger to property.
Fire Fighting Robot Remotely Operated by Android Applications
The main intention of this project is to
design a fire fighting robot using Android application for remote
operation. The firefighting robot has a water tanker to pump water and
spray it on fire; it is controlled through wireless communication. For the desired operation, 8051 microcontroller is used.
In the proposed system, an android application
is used to send commands from the transmitter end to the receiver
receiver end for controlling the movement of the robot in forward,
backward, right or left directions. At the receiver side, two motors are
interfaced to the 8051 microcontroller wherein two of them are used for
the movement of the vehicle and the remaining one to place the arm of
the robot.
Remote operation is done by android OS
based Smartphone or tablet. The Android device transmitter acts as a
remote control with the advantage of being having adequate range, while
the receiver has a Bluetooth device fed to the microcontroller to drive DC motors
through the motor driver IC for particular operation. Further, this
project is developed by interfacing it with a wireless camera so that
the person controlling it can view the operation of the robot remotely
on a display.
RF based Fire Fighting Robotic Vehicle
The main goal of this project is to
design a firefighting robot by using RF technology for remote operation.
This robot is loaded with a water tanker and a pump controlled through
wireless communication to sprinkle water. For the desired operation, an
8051 microcontroller is used.
At the transmitter end, push buttons are
used to send commands to the receiver end to control the robotic
movement, either in forward, backward, right or left direction. The RF
transmitter acts as an RF remote control that has the benefit of
adequate range up to 200 meters with apposite antenna, while the decoder
decode before feeding it to another microcontroller to drive DC motors
via motor driver IC for necessary work.
A water tank with pump is placed on the
robot body and its operation is carried out from the microcontroller o/p
through the proper signal from the transmitting end. The entire
operation is controlled by a microcontroller. A motor driver IC is
interfaced to the microcontroller through which the controller drives
the motors.
In future, this project can be developed by interfacing it with a wireless camera so that the person can view the controlling operation of the robot remotely on a display.
GSM based Fire Fighting Robot
GSM modems have developed public utility
products for mass communication. This GSM based firefighting robot is
used to prevent fire in houses, offices and shops. This robot moves in
suffocated fire area in our house, offices, shopping malls, etc. This
robot is capable of sensing fire using through IR sensors and then
putting it off even in the absence of anyone. It then immediately sends
the message to a concern person.
This project is made efficient by
incorporating SIMs so that an SMS can be sent to a number of devices and
boards in the locality by using techniques of time division multiple
access. These robots can be used at different areas like factories,
houses, office, etc. By using this GSM based firefighting robot, it is
possible to control everything automatically through embedded systems.
The use of embedded system in communication has given rise to many
interesting applications that ensure safety and comfort.
This is all about a firefighting robot
that uses a microcontroller, GSM, RF and Android. We believe that you
might have got a better understanding of this fire fighting robotic
project. Furthermore, for any queries regarding this concept,, robotics projects for engineering students or electronics projects, please give your feedback by commenting in the comment section below.
