FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT

Abstract

Fire fighting is an important but dangerous occupation. Robots are designed to find a fire, before it rages out of 
control, could one day work with fire fighters greatly reducing the risk of injury to victims. l Fire Fighting Robot 
Competition is a contest purposely to simulate the real-world operation of an autonomous robot rescuing 10 
victims (table tennis balls) and stop 5 fires (emergency candles) in a house within three minutes. The robot 
development is consisting of three elements which is the hardware, electronic, and programming.  The robot 
have three DC motor, two for driving system and another single DC motor for ball suction subsystem and the 
fire blowing subsystem. Various sensors are also interfaced with PIC16F877A as a feedback to the robot such as 
photoelectric sensors, fiber optic sensor and RGB color sensors. LCD display also gives the graphical 
information of the robot status to the user. For the programming part, C language is used to determine the robot 
action gain from the sensors input.
