Fire incidents can be very serious and result in substantial loss of life and property, particularly in industrial, domestic and public buildings. An autonomous firefighting robot is developed to enhance the safety and minimize the risks for firefighters. The robot has a flame sensor and temperature sensor to detect fire, a microcontroller for processing the detected fire information, and a DC motor to drive the robot towards fire. Then it will switch on a water pump or fire extinguishing system to put out the fire. It has obstacle detection sensors that allow it to safely navigate in dangerous environments. It is compact, inexpensive and can be used in multiple locations, with rapid response with minimal human exposure. Overall, it showcases the effective use of robotics and embedded systems in fire safety and disaster management.

The Proposed approach of modular design strategy was a good solution in implementing the firefighting robot to help people at the critical condition. The proposed robot can move in forward, backward, left, right and can stop also. It reduces human efforts and protects their property. Robot detects fire and extinguishes the fire with the help of a sprinkler pump. A firefighting and affected area monitoring robot is proposed based on the Internet of Things environment, which can take instant steps during fire accidents. This robot can be used to reduce the risk of human firefighters in area which is out of reach for human beings. Industries with a higher risk of fire accidents can use this robot to avoid huge damage. In the future re, Machine Learning and AI systems can be implemented to improve the performance of the robot.
