Description
Summary:Firefighting is an important but dangerous occupation. A firefighter must be able to get to a fire location quickly and safely to extinguish the fire, preventing further damage and thus reduce fatalities. Technology has finally bridged the gap between firefighting and machines allowing for a more efficient and effective method for firefighting types. Robot can be designed to locate and remove the fire, especially in places that are difficult for human to reach. Robot also designed to work together with firefighters so as to further reduce number of casualties. This project is using an autonomous robot which is able to act on its own depending on the program that was programmed into the PIC microcontroller. This firefighter robot system is equipped with ultrasonic and analog distance sensor to sense the obstacle around it beside Passive Infra Red (PIR) sensor to sense the fire heat. The information fetched from the sensor will be analyzed by a microcontroller (PIC16F877A) in order to deduce a logical operation on it.
