 INTRODUCTION:
• Aims to develop microcontroller based fire
fighting robot.
• Monitors the areas where natural calamities
and bomb explosion occurs.
• Sense fire, smoke and temperature at the site
of disaster by using flame and smoke sensors
mounted on the robot.
• If fire is detected with the help of sensors ,
MCU operates water pump mechanism.
 OBJECTIVE:
• To detect fire in the disaster prone area.

• Also provides audio and visual indications.

• Extinguishes fire on detection.

• Reduces the efforts of human labour and

level of destruction.

•Led
•Pump
 TEMPERATURE SENSOR:
 Transducers used for the measurement of
temperature at the site of disaster.

 Gives out electrical output to the existing

temperature.

 Output voltage is proportional to the Celsius

temperature.
 SMOKE SENSOR:
 Smoke is a colloid and comprises a collection
of airborne solid and liquid particulates and
gases emitted when a material undergoes
combustion.
 It is commonly an unwanted by-product of
fires.
 The smoke sensor detects smoke and
provides output to the MCU.
 FLAME SENSOR:
• A flame detector is a sensor designed to
detect and respond to the presence of a flame
or fire.
 MICROCONTROLLER- PIC16F73:
 Takes or read data from the sensors and
controls all the functions of the whole system
by manipulating these data.
 Control the movement of robot.
 If the sensor outputs are found higher than
preset value it indicates presence of fire and
MCU operates the water pump mechanism.
 MOTOR DRIVER:
 Provides an interface between the 5V logic
signal from the microcontroller & the high
current / high voltage power side to drive the
motor.
 Motor is an electromechanical device, which
convert electrical energy to rotation/
mechanical energy.
 DC Geared Motor is used to drive the robotic
vehicle.
VISUAL INDICATION & AUDIO ALARM:
 Visual indicators are used here for indicating
the conditions of the sensors, different
colored LEDs are used here.
 If any of the sensor output will be high, MCU
will turns ON the audio alarm for intimating
the condition to others.
 RELAY & DRIVER CIRCUIT:
 Interfacing is required for connecting a relay
with any microcontroller.
 Relays are inductive loads and control water
pumps.
 Driving circuit is fixed between relays and
processor pins.
 The output of the microcontroller is fed to the
relay driver for current boosting. The output
of this magnetizes the relay.
 WATER PUMP:
 Used to pump water when an abnormal
condition arises in the system.
 When excess temperature, smoke and flame
detected, the water pump starts pumping
water.
 Water pump is connected to the relay, the
relay becomes energizes according to the
instruction from the MCU.
 WORKING:
• Consists of temperature sensor, smoke sensor, flame
sensor, MCU, water pump and geared motor.
• The robot continously monitors variation of the
surrounding area using these sensors.
• Robotic vehicle moves through the disaster area as per
the instructions from MCU.
• Whenever the temperature exceed a limit value and
flame and smoke detected MCU identifies that there is
presence of fire and operate water pump.
• MCU operates the relay through the relay interface.
• Audio and visual indications are attached to the robotic
system.
