5. DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SMART FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT

Fire incident is a disaster that can potentially cause the loss of life, property damage and permanent disability to the affected victim. They can also suffer from prolonged p sychological and trauma. Fire fighters are primarily tasked to handle fire incidents, but they are often exposed to higher risks when, they are robot in case of difeerance in extinguishing fire Particularly in hazardous environments such as nuclear power plants, refineries, and gas tanks. They face additional chal lenges, particularly if the fire occurs in a narrow and restricted area, as it is necessary to explore the ruins of buildings and obstacles in order to extinguish the fire and save the victim. With high barriers and risks in firefig hting operations, technological innovations can be used to aid firefighting. As a result, this paper describes the development of QRob, a firefighting robot that can extinguish fires without exposing firefighters to unneces sary danger. QRob is designed to be smaller in size than other conventional fire fighting robots in order to facil itate smal space entry for a de-eper reach of extinguishing fire in a narrow space. QRob also has an ultrasonic sensor to avoid colliding with obstacles and surrounding objects, as well as a flame sensor for fire detection. As a result, QRob demonstrated the ability to automatically identify fire locations and extinguish fires at specific distances. QRob is programmed to locate the fire and stop at a maximum distance of 40 cm from it. A human operator can keep an eye on the robot by using a camera that connects to a smartphone or other remote devices.
