IoT based fire exterminating robot

Abstract

Fire accidents occur often which endanger the environment and the human lives. The life of the fire fighters is always at a risk. The intention of achieving in this paper is to show the look and function of a robot which acts as a fire extinguisher. The robot is sent to the fire prone place and it puts off the fire which replaces the human work of manually extinguishing the fire. Even though the robot is small in size, it performs versatile activities of searching towards the fire using different sensors, capturing the images and sending live updates to the remote user through IoT and exterminating the fire. In addition, the proposed robot also avoids the obstacle when moving forward in search of fire in the automatic mode and sends an alert message to the remote user who then controls the robot through the web page manually based on the live streaming of the place the ip web camera attached to the robot until the fire has been detected.
