Abstract - In this paper, Robotic firefighting system with
acute heat detectors and an avoidance function is designed
and developed. Circuit design combines a microcontroller
needs various parts to complete the task it was programmed
to do. The chassis' structural layout accommodates all
components for maximum performance. To determine the
most effective manner to do the assignment, the codes were
modified. The smart fire extinguisher system advanced, per
the experimental results. The best response time for the move
stop is found to be 400ms , which indicates that the gripper
will start putting out the fire and will shut off the water pump
after the fire is instantly put out. Similarly, upon the detection
of fire and smoke, the SMS messaging capability as well as the
fire as well as smoke alarm detection was effectively
activated.This efficiently produced robotic firefightingsystem
will be a reasonable precaution against fire calamity.

1. INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
One of the most important concern was that no organization
nor any governing body or no person will be availableall the
time when there was a fire accidents .Due to high explosives
,high smoke and high intensity of fire intensity of fire its
impossible for humans to enter the fire place. A Quicker
response was needed to avoid huge damage. Any kind of
objects which have tendency to generatefirecanleadstofire
accidents. They are concerns for not only industrial fire but
to domestic household due to poor fire management
techniques. In present a lot of Fire safety systems and new
technologies emerged in market like chemical fire
extinguishers, but along with that advancements in the field
of robotics and embedded systems things arebecoming easy
day-by-day. These smart robotsystemsforextinguishing fire
was built in such a way that makes the humans not to loose
their life for simple accidents. The compact automated
machine (Smart fire extinguisher robot) was designed to
achieve work in three stage process. Firststageofthiswasto
detect the obstacle (fire) usinggivenhardware.Second stage
was to reach the targeted area with the help of high torque
motors without getting damaged. Third stage was to
extinguish fire with the suitablemediumsforsuitablegrades
with pump system.
Problem statements.
A fire-fighting robot model was designed by TawfiqurRakib
and M. A. Rashid Sarkar. It includes of a core region
consisting of "Kerosene wood," an LM35 temperature
sensor, flame sensor that recognizefireTwowheelsareused
by the robot to move around. [1] A firefighting robot
operated by an android and powered by an Arduino UNOR3
was proposed by S. JakthiPriyanka and R. Sangeetha.The
robot is made up of a gas sensor to detect fires, a gear motor
and motor drive to move it, a communication module to
connect it to an Android device, and a smartphone control
module. Sprinklers and a water pump are also employed in
this. An open to all software named Arduino package is
required to programmeandimplementtheguidelinesforthe
Arduino UNO.[2] A notification system for an automatedfire
controller robot was proposed by J. Jalani1, D.Misman1, A.S.
Sadun1, and L. C. Hong1.Three flamesensorsareusedbythis
robot to detect fires in the left, right, and center directions
.Three ultrasonic sensors are also included fordetectingand
avoiding obstacles. The robot uses a bluetooth module to
send the user a warning notification when it senses a fire.[3]
2. Methodology
An Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, to which various
sensors are linked, is used to manage the project. Two SLB-
1674 7.4V batteries are used in this project to dissipate the
necessary and sufficient power to all of the system's
components. The project also makes use of four decelerated
280 Revolutions per minute DC motors that, when
necessary, can be prolonged to drive up to nine wheels and
are managed by an L298 H-Bridge Motor Driver. For the
purpose of avoiding obstructions, an ultrasonic sensor was
necessary. All of the aforementioned components were
linked to their respective bodies and modules where 5 to 12
volts and all of the lines were linked in a common.
3. Hardware implementation
One of the most important components in the creation of
a firefighting robot is the hardware. Required sensors, a
water pump, a motor driver, a tiny bread board , motors,and

wheelsare allincluded.thefirefightingrobot'sblockdiagram,
which shows one IR flame sensor as the system's input. As a
micro-controller for connecting additional components,
Arduino UNO is used. The L293D Motor Driver is utilized to
rotate motors and has the ability to simultaneously run two
DC motors.

3.a.Flame Sensor
The flame sensor monitors the ambient and finds any fire
present. The module, which was based on an IR transmitter,
seek for combustible and hazardousgasesincludesnitrogen,
hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. The potential for signal
detection is customizable. Three flame sensors are on the
robot.
3.b.Module for a flame sensor
The pin arrangement of the sensor is shown below. The four
pins below are among its four total pins.Whenthismoduleis
paired with a microcontroller unit, the pins are linked.
Voltage supply ranges from 3.3 to 5.3 volts for pin 1 (VCC
pin),
pin 2 is a ground pin, and pin 3 is an analogue output slotpin
Pin 4 was a pin for digital output

3.c.Motor Driver L293D
The DC motor's ability to move in either direction is
controlled by the L293D motor driver or motor driver IC.
Through the 16-pin IC L293D, we may simultaneously drive
two DC motors in either direction.
Features:
1. It is possible to utilise the same integrated circuit to
drive two direct current motors.
2. It is possible to alter acceleration ,velocity and distance
3. 4.5 to 36 volts for motor voltage Vcc2 (Vs)
4. 1.2A is the optimum motor current peak
5. 600 micro Amphere is the theoretical optimum motor
current
6. 4.5 to 7 as the supply energy to Vcc1
7.changing in period: 300 ns (at 5Vand 24V)
8. There was an alternative for thermal shutdown.
L293D Integrated circuits usage:
The L293D is a well-liked 16-Pin Driver Integrated Circuit.
Frequently used in motordrives of chips, as the names
suggest. Two Direct Current motors can be driven
synchronously by a singleL293DIntegratedcircuit,andeach
motor's direction can be independently evolved . Therefore,
this Integrated circuit will be the best choise for you if you
have motors that runs at minimum of 36V energy and lower
than 600milliAmpheres , and that are to be used by digital
circuits like Op-Amp, other circuits, digital gates, or even
Micro rollers like PIC, ARM, etc
.

3.d. Submersible Water Pump
Pump for Submersible Water.ForcreatinganArduino-based
autonomous watering system,submersiblewaterpumps are
perfect. The robot's water pumpisa crucial componentsince
it will pump with water to douse the fire. A pump that can
be substantially submerged in water is a submersiblepump,
often known as an electric submersible pump. The pump's
body and motor are closely interwoven and hermetically
sealed. A submersible pump, which translates rotary energy
into kinetic energy and pressurized energy,propelswater to
the surface. This is executed bydrawingwaterintothepump
twice: first, at the intake, where the impeller's rotation
propels the liquid through the diaphragm. From there, it
climbs to the surface.

Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are tools for measuring the distance
between a object and the sensorby usingultrasonic wavesto
convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The series
of longitudinal mechanical wavesknownasultrasonicwaves
travels across a material. of rarefactions and compressions
occur along the wave's path. Ultrasound refers to any
longitudinal sound wavethat isabovethehumanaural range
of 20,000 Hz. The frequency range has been mainly
categorized based on the type of use, as indicated in the
figure below
Fig-6 Ultrasonic sensor working
Fig-7 Frequency Band
Ultrasonic Wave Production
The movement of a surface, such as a diaphragm, is
necessary for the formation of these mechanical waves
because it can cause compression and rarefaction in the
medium in front of it. Ultrasonic waves can be produced at
frequencies between 1 and 20 MHz and 20 and 40 kHz using
magneto strictive and piezoelectric materials acting in the
motor mode, respectively.
4. Impression of Hardware and Software
 Cross-platform - • Cross-platform – The Arduino
Software is useful with kali Linux, Mac OS, and
Windows operating system. The majority of
microcontroller systems are Windows-only.
 Easy-to-use coding environment - The Arduino
Software is easy enough for intricate users to apply
while still being simple and straightforward for
newcomers. It's built on the Progressed
programming environment, whichishelpful for both
pupils and mentors learn how to operate.
 Open source customizable software -TheArduino
software is available as open source tools that
occational programmers can modify. C++ libraries
are used to eloborate the language, and anyone can
swith to avr programme for more tech details.
Similar to that any individual can write the avr code
directly in the aurdino directly.
 Open source adaptable hardware - Since the
blueprints for the boardsare madepubliclyavailable
under a Creative Commons licence , qualified circuit
designers may change and expand them toconstruct
their own versions of the module.
5. Problems & Concerns
However, not all issues are present with ultrasonic sensors.
As a medium's temperature rises, so doesthespeedofsound
within it. As a result, even though the object has remained in

the same location, it can now appear to have movedcloser to
the sensor. Air currents may disruptthewave'spassagefora
variety of reasons, which could result in "Missed Detection"
or incorrect measurement. Acoustic noise, such as high-
pitched noises produced by valves and pneumatic devices
whistling or hissing at frequencies near to the working
frequency, may interfere with the sensor's output. The
performance of the sensor is also affectedby electrical noise.
These could produce artefacts that don't accurately depict
the photographed object. Ultrasonic devices feature a "dead
zone" where the sensor cannot accurately take
measurements, much as how eyesight begins to blur when
an item is too close to the eye for the eyes to see it. This
occurs as a result of a phenomenon known as ringing, which
is the transducer's continued oscillation after emitted the
pulse. Because of this, when the distance is too close, the
transducer is unable to distinguish between vibration
brought on by incident radiation and oscillation brought on
by electrical excitation. The risks posed by ultrasonic waves
are likewise well established.Toomuchintensitycanheat up
human tissues and possibly trigger ruptures in those who
are exposed to it.
6. Applications
The issues with ultrasound sensors have been the subject of
research, especially in the field of medical imaging where
ultrasound is used. It is possible to distinguishbetweensolid
and cystic tissues by categorizing tissues using ultrasonic
sensor distortions like Acoustic Shadowing and Acoustic
Enhancement.. Ultrasonic rangefinders are frequently used
in robotics for mapping and distance ranging. Ultrasonic
sensors are used in hair styling, such as hair extension
implants, even in the fashion business.

3. CONCLUSIONS
This Smart Fire Extinguishing Robot is capable of setting of
small industrial fires . The project aims to build a compact
firefighting roboting system with some smart features With
pumping mechanism and Nozzlesystem tosetoff hustlefree
extinguishing . Usage of more hardware makes the system
complex and requires more power to run such a system so,
this system was made of basic hardware and in a way more
compact manner. Firstly, the basic job of this system was to
detect both the fire and obstacle simultaneously. Secondly,
the system can be navigated with the help of programme
written on it or manually through controller. Finally, when
fire is detected then it is sets it off with the help of pump and
nozzle system mechanism.
