Abstract—Fire incidents are among the most destructive dis- asters, often resulting in loss of life, property damage, and long- term disability. Industries like nuclear power plants, petroleum refineries, and chemical factories are particularly vulnerable to fire accidents, which can have devastating consequences. These incidents emphasize the urgent need for effective firefighting solutions. This project proposes an innovative approach to fire control through the development of a robotic firefighting vehicle. With advancements in robotics, hazardous operations in- creasingly rely on robots to enhance safety. Fire accidents can sometimes exceed the capacity of firefighters, putting lives at risk. In such scenarios, firefighting robots offer a safer and more efficient alternative.

This project aims to design an autonomous firefighting robot powered by an Arduino microcontroller. Equipped with advanced sensors, the robot will autonomously detect fires within a prede- fined area and extinguish them. It will feature a water reservoir, pump, and nozzle for effective water spraying. Infrared sensors will enable precise heat detection, ensuring accurate targeting of fire sources.

The Arduino microcontroller will handle mobility, firefighting operations, and sensor data processing. The robot’s durable mechanical framework will withstand extreme conditions, pri- oritizing efficiency, reliability, and energy optimization. Future improvements may include remote monitoring, wireless commu- nication, and enhanced fire detection algorithms.
