Abstract - Robots are significant nowadays because they
can do tasks that humans find difficult. Theproposedprojectis
concerned with the concept of a 360-degree firefighting
robotic vehicle with several modes of operation. We have
incorporated two modes of operation: manual control and
autonomous mode. The robotic vehicle may be operated
manually and utilized to extinguish the fire using a wireless
remote control. The proposed device also incorporates a
robotic arm to aid in fire extinguishment at various heights, it
has the capacity to spin in 360 degrees to perform firefighting
tasks. The vehicle also has a camerathatcanwirelesslystream
live footage from the autonomous vehicle and aid in
navigation using views from the camera. The vehicle also has
an autonomous mode that will detect a fire using the sensors
on the robotic vehicle, go to the area of the fire, and
autonomously extinguish the firein360degrees. Toextinguish
the fire, the Robotic Arm is attached on a rotating up and
down movable robotic platform.

1.INTRODUCTION
A robot is characterized as a mechanical design that can do
human tasks or behave like a person. Creating a robot
necessitates specialized knowledge and advanced
programming. It is about constructing systems and
connecting motors, flame sensors, and wiring, among other
vital components. A fire fighter robot is one that includes a
miniature fire extinguisher. The automation extinguished
fire by connecting a tiny fire extinguisher to the robot. This
paper describes the design and building ofa fire-sensing and
extinguishing robot. The following ideas areimplementedin
this robot: ambient detection and comparative motor
controller. This paper describes the design and building of a
fire-sensing and extinguishing robot. It senses the fire
accident using thermistors, ultravioletorvisiblesensors. For
the first detection of the flame, UV sensors / thermistors /
flame sensors will be employed. When a flameisspotted,the
robot hums an alert using the accompanying buzzer and
activates an electrical valve, releasing sprinkles of water on
the flame. The project helps to generate interests and
innovations in the fields of robotics while workingtowardsa
viable and feasib2le solution to save lives and limit the risk
of property damage. This project aims to create a fire
fighting robotic vehicle that can be operated in both manual
and autonomous modes. DC motors, a wheel, a
microcontroller, sensors, and a miniature fire extinguisher
canister are used. Microcontroller controls all the parts of
the robot by programming, and as the fire sensor senses the
fire, an amplifier amplify the signal and sends it to
microcont1roller. The robotic vehicle's live video
streaming system is used to extinguish the fire in many
directions.
2.LITERATURE SURVEY
Ratnesh Malik and his colleagues have devised a strategyfor
building a fire fighting robot that is capable of extinguishing
fires. The robot is completely self-sufficientandincorporates
cutting-edge concepts suchasenvironmental awarenessand
proportional motor control. Kristi Kokasih and colleagues
have developed an intelligent tank robot for fire fighting
purposes. The robot is designed to autonomously search a
designated area, identify any fires present, and extinguish
them even in intricate room configurations. H.P. Singh and
colleagues have established a technique for managing an
independent industrial fire-fighting robot. Swati Deshmukh
and her team have advanced a wireless robot designed for
firefighting, equipped with a fully automated platform
capable of detecting and extinguishing fires from any angle .
Robot with fire detection devices which can be operated
with a phone was created by Lakshay Arora. The robot has a
phone that it can use to command its actions when it is
called.

4.METHODOLOGY
The Methodology to carry out the project is:
1) Material survey: The detailed material survey of various
materials available in the market.Themostsuitablematerial
for the project fabrication is chosen and the problem
definition is outlined. A rough plan is devised which can
handle all the defined objectives.
2) Fabrication of chassis: This phase involves thefabrication
of chassis by choosing the proper material for the chassis.
The chassis forms the integral part of the project as it is the
frame which providesa base formountingothercomponents
and mechanisms. The chassis is fabricated first and then
other mechanisms are mounted over it.
3) The microcontroller and sensor interfacing: A
microcontroller is a modest microcomputer that governs
embedded systems in a variety of devices, includingvending
machines, robots, office equipment, sophisticated medical
equipment, mobile radio transceivers, and homeappliances.
A processor, retention, and peripherals are common
components of a microcontroller. This stage involves
connecting the microcontroller of the robotic vehicle
alongside the fire detection sensors. The microcontroller's
response to both inputs and outputs is appropriately
programmed.
4) The Robotic Arm fabrication:Inthisphasetherobotic arm
is fabricated which is incorporated onto the robotic vehicle.
The robotic arm can be controlled wirelessly using the
controller provided. The robotic arm helps to extinguishfire
at different heights.
5) The Assembly: The project's final assembly is completed
during this6 phase. All of the project's components must be
put together during this phase, along with the power unit.
The motor in the power unit is in charge of moving the robot
and robotic arm. The components fabricated above are
assembled and tested for performance and changes are
made if required. Thus completing all the above phases we
plan to complete the project. The project aims to solve the
problems faced due to fire hazards which are noticed every
day.
5.CALCULATIONS
Torque required on a flat surface Normal force (Fn) = m*g
= 25*9.81
= 245.25N
Friction force (Ff) = Fnµ
= 0.2*245.25
=49.05 N
Torque required = Ff*rw
= 49.05*0.355
= 17.41 N-m
Total mass acting = 25kg
= 25*9.8
= 245.25N
For Slope Surface consider maximum slope of 15 degrees
Normal force acting (Fn) = mgcosƟ
= 25*9.81*cos (15 )
= 236.89 N
Frictional force (Ff) = Fnµ
= 0.2*236.89
= 47.37 N
Opposing force (Fo) = mgsinƟ
= 25*9.81*sin (15 )
= 63.4755.67 N
Torque required = (Ff + Fo) rw = (47.37+63.47) 0.355

=69.90 N-m
Therefore;
While Selecting Motor, The motor Should be able to provide
at least a torque of 69.90N-m i.e 70 N-m ConsideringNormal
as well as slopy conditions.
6.RESULT
The robot was able to detect the fire through thesensorsata
distance of about 900 mm and was able to take decisions to
move towards the fire location at a speed of 0.5 m/s.
Reaching towards the fire location, it was able to extinguish
the fire through the water spray from the nozzle at a
pressure of 110 psi. After extinguishing, the robot was able
to return to its original position. It satisfied our objective
which was to operate the robot in manual & autonomous
mode.
7.CONCLUSION
In Conclusion, The project aims to address the issue of daily
fire hazards, which often lead to the loss of many lives.
Manual operations are often incapable of handling such
situations due to the risk posed to workers' lives. Therefore,
the pr4oposed project seeks to replace manual fire
extinguishers with an autonomous system that can detect
and extinguish fires using an onboard extinguisher.
Additionally, the project can operate in dual mode: manual
and autonomous. It can approach and put out fires in
autonomous mode, and in manual operation, the operator
may w1irelessly steer the robot towards the fire's spot and
put it out. There is no danger to the operator's life because
they can control the robot effortlessly from a distance.
