Abstract

This paper presents the design, implementation, and testing of a low-cost,

Arduino-based autonomous firefighting robot capable of detecting and extinguishing small-scale fires. The system uses flame sensors to identify

infrared radiation from fire sources and an integrated water pump, controlled via a servo motor and relay module, to extinguish detected flames. The robot employs DC motors for mobility, governed by an L298N motor driver, and

operates in environments where human intervention may be risky. The prototype demonstrates promising results in fire detection, directional

navigation, and water-based fire suppression, making it suitable for industrial, residential, and hazardous settings.
