Abstract

Fire accidents are serious life, property, and environmental hazards, and fire-fighting operations tend to put people in risky situations, particularly in hot or confined spots such as factories and narrow corridors of buildings. To address these issues, this paper documents the design and development of an autonomous firefighting robot equipped with GSM communication for remote monitoring and control. The robot runs on 3.7V batteries and is controlled by an Arduino Nano, and a 5.1 development board is used, with mobility provided by DC motors with wheels via an L298N motor driver. Fire detection is provided via various fire sensors, while efficient fire extinguishing is provided via a water tank, a servo motor, and a water pump. Safe high-current component switching is provided via a relay. Real-time feedback to the human driver and remote control of the robot are provided via GSM connectivity, allowing for smartphone or other device control. The novelty of this work lies in the Integration of GSMbased communication with a firefighting robot, enabling real-time monitoring, efficient data transmission, and long-distance control beyond the limitations of traditional Wi-Fi or Bluetooth systems. The results of the experiment reveal that the robot will automatically identify and put out indoor fires, save firefighters from injury, and estimate the impacts of operations.
