        abstract = {Fire incidents pose significant risks to human life, infrastructure, and industrial assets. Firefighting operations are inherently hazardous, often exposing personnel to life-threatening environments. To minimize human risk and ensure early fire suppression, an automated firefighting system is proposed. This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel Arduino-based firefighting robot capable of detecting and extinguishing fire efficiently.
The system integrates an embedded control unit using Arduino UNO, two flame sensors for fire detection, an ultrasonic sensor for obstacle avoidance, a water pump-based extinguishing mechanism, and a Bluetooth module for wireless control via an Android application. The flame sensors continuously monitor the environment, and upon detecting fire, the system activates the water dispenser to suppress it. The ultrasonic sensor ensures safe navigation by stopping the robot when obstacles are detected and resuming movement once the path is cleared. The robot can be manually controlled in forward, backward, left, and right directions through Bluetooth communication.
The proposed system enhances safety in industrial and hazardous environments by reducing direct human intervention in fire-prone areas. Experimental implementation demonstrates reliable fire detection, obstacle avoidance, and rapid extinguishing capability, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution for early fire response applications.},
