A Smart Firefighting Robot System (LAHEEB)

Abstract

The motivation behind this project is that firefighter's death. Many firefighters are struggling to perform their duty which causes much death while on a mission and the circumstances related to each incident. Firefighters are our heroes and our sense of security in times of trouble. They put themselves on dangerous situations to protect us. At present, the world is moving toward the use of technologies software and hardware. This paper proposed a smart firefighting robot system (LAHEEB) which designed to detect the source of fire, extinguish it and increase the knowledge about fire behavior from incident area. This Robot can extinguish different types of fire A, B, C, D, F/K, electric and metal fire without spreading in the shortest time. This robot will reduce the risk of injury for firefighters and possible victims and decrease the monetary losses which increase considerably as fire duration increases. LAHEEB consists of the ultrasonic sensor mounted on a servo motor for obstacles detection and equipped with flame sensors for detecting fire. It also makes use of liquid-tank and spray mechanism for extinguishing the fire. The spraying nozzle is mounted on a servo motor to cover maximum area. Liquid-extinguisher is pumped from the main tank to the nose with the help of a 12V pump. The whole system is programmed using an Arduino UNO board (ATmega328P microcontroller) which forms the brain of the system.
