IEEE Arduino Firefighting Robot Synopsis
Abstract
Fire accidents in residential and industrial areas pose significant risks. This project presents an
Arduino-controlled autonomous robot capable of detecting and extinguishing fire. Utilizing flame and
ultrasonic sensors, the robot navigates toward the fire source while avoiding obstacles. Upon
detection, it activates an extinguisher mechanism such as a fan or water sprayer. The system aims
to reduce human intervention in fire emergencies and is designed for low-cost implementation and

1. Introduction
Fire safety is a critical concern in various domains. Traditional firefighting involves human risk and
delayed response. This paper proposes a compact, autonomous fire-fighting robot equipped with an
Arduino microcontroller, capable of detecting and suppressing small fires. Its application extends to
- Sensors: Flame sensors (for fire detection), Ultrasonic sensors (for obstacle detection)
- Actuators: DC motors (for movement), water pump or fan (for extinguishing fire)
