Abstract : This work presents a robot which detects fire through image processing and extinguish it by
throwing fire extinguisher ball in the fire which explodes and its chemical helps in extinguish fire.

The robot can perform the task automatically or with some kind of
guidance.Robotics is a general combination of computational intelligence and
physical machine. [1]
This project not focused on designing a firefighting robot on the larger scale.
Our work is to make and develop the autonomous robots that can
automatically detect fire and finish it.
The project helps to generate interests as well as innovations in the fields of
robotics while working towards a practical and obtainable solution to save
lives and mitigate the risk of property damage.[3]

Autonomous is not an ancient phenomenon, it’s a relatively new

breakthrough in engineering and technology, in developing countries these
type of robots are using frequently which save people and fire fighter lives.
[1] Controllers are in widespread use throughout the world for conversion of
manually operated system into automatic process.
The purpose is to create a fire extinguisher robot to help and solve a
problem by most peoples. In many industries, offices, universities, small
industries, bakeries, banks, schools, collages, and markets, these problems
happen in regular days, so we are making this robot that eliminate the fire  Can be used in record maintaining rooms where fire can cause lose of

it moves and change it way in a short time and moves to the other side. This
robot only suitable for short distances and not for long distances. This is a
very common problem found on the robots. Robot is consist of well align six
tires which can help the robot to easily move left and right, forward and
backward. The tires of the robot are connected with dc motors and the
movement of the robot is control by the controller. Image processing which

body
 Through this we can conclude that a robot can be used in place of humans
reducing the risk of life of the fire fighters. We can use them in our homes,
labs, offices etc. They provide us greater efficiency to detect the flame and it
can be extinguish before it become uncontrollable and threat to life. Hence,
this robot can play a crucial role.

The main objective of this project is .

I.To detect fire by image processing in real time.

II.To move the robot in the direction of fire and then operating
throwing mechanism to extinguish fire.[7]
