Examination of Robot System Detecting Smoke Condition in the Event of a Fire

Abstract

Demand for robots that can move autonomously is increasing rapidly. This paper presents a new method of evacuation from fire by which a robot can select an appropriate evacuation route to mitigate smoke damage and injury. This paper presents a proposed system that uses a robot equipped with a stereo camera to collect and use smoke conditions as the autonomous mobile robot moves through a corridor after a fire occurs in a room. Specifically, the stereo camera identifies the smoke, obtains the three-dimensional coordinates of the smoke, and ascertains whether the smoke height affects the evacuation. We show the effectiveness of proposed system thorough some experiments.
