BUILDING A FIRE FIGHTING

ROBOT WITH ARDUINO

 INTRODUCTION TO FIRE FIGHTING
ROBOTS
Overview
• Fire fighting robots are designed to
navigate hazardous environments and
extinguish fires without putting human
lives at risk. This presentation provides a
step-by-step guide to building a fire
fighting robot using Arduino, an open-
source electronics platform based on easy-
to-use hardware and software
Objectives
• Understand the components required to
build a fire fighting robot Learn how to
program the Arduino Build the robot from
scratch Test and troubleshoot the robot
Explore future improvements and
enhancements
 PROGRAMMING THE ARDUINO
• The Arduino is the brain of your fire fighting robot,
and programming it correctly is crucial to its success.
Here are the steps to programming your Arduino for
your robot:
1. Connect your Arduino to your computer using a USB
cable.
2. Download and install the Arduino IDE (Integrated
Development Environment) software on your
computer.
3. Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
4. Copy and paste the code for your robot's functions into
the sketch.
5. Upload the sketch to your Arduino board.
6. Test your robot's functions to ensure they are working
correctly.

Connecting Motors and Sensors
Once the chassis is assembled, the next step is to connect
the motors and sensors to the Arduino board. This involves
identifying the correct pins on the board and wiring them
up to the appropriate components.
BUILDING THE ROBOT
• Assembling the Chassis
• The first step in building the fire fighting robot is to assemble the
chassis. This involves attaching the wheels and motors to the base of
the robot, as well as any additional components such as sensors or a
water pump.
• Wiring the Arduino Board
• Once the motors and sensors are connected to the board, the next step
is to wire up the board itself. This involves connecting the power
source, USB cable, and any additional components such as a Bluetooth
module or LCD display.
• Testing and Troubleshooting
• Once the robot is built and wired up, the next step is to test it out and
troubleshoot any issues that may arise. This involves running the robot
through different scenarios, such as navigating around obstacles and
putting out fires, and making adjustments as needed
• Future Improvements
• Finally, the presentation concludes with a discussion of potential future
improvements to the fire fighting robot, such as adding more sensors or
improving the software to make the robot more autonomous.
 TESTING AND
• TROUBLESHOOTING
Once you have built your fire fighting robot, it is important to test and troubleshoot it to ensure that it functions properly. Here are some steps to follow:
• 1. Conduct a Basic Function Test
• Check that all the components are properly connected and in their correct positions.
• Test the motors and sensors individually to ensure they are working properly.
• 2. Test the Robot's Navigation
• Check that the robot can move forward, backward, left, and right smoothly.
• Test the robot's ability to detect and avoid obstacles.
• 3. Test the Robot's Fire Fighting Capabilities
• Create a controlled fire and test the robot's ability to detect and extinguish it.
• If you encounter any issues during testing, here are some troubleshooting tips:
• 1. Check Your Wiring
• Make sure that all your wires are properly connected and in their correct positions. Check for any loose connections or damaged wires.
• 2. Check Your Code
• Review your code and check for any syntax errors or logical errors. Make sure that your code is properly commented and organized.
• 3. Check Your Components
• Check that all your components are functioning properly. Test each component individually to isolate any issues.

• Remote Control
Functionality
• Currently, the robot can be
programmed to move
autonomously and detect
fires using its sensors.
However, adding remote
control functionality would
allow firefighters to guide
the robot more precisely and
safely in high-risk
situations.
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
● Improved Fire Detection
System
While the robot's current fire
detection system is effective,
there is always room for
improvement. Future
iterations of the robot could
include more advanced
sensors or even infrared
cameras to better detect fires
and their locations.
• Increased Water
Capacity
• The current water tank on
the robot allows for a
limited amount of water
to be carried and used for
extinguishing fires.
Increasing the water
capacity would allow the
robot to fight larger fires
or multiple fires without
needing to return to a
water source.
