Abstract

The research paper divides two parts: one is the control system of a Robot by Electronic Pulse technique from a remote place and another is a mechanically controlling system to extinguish fire where the mechanical part consists of cylinder for fire extinguishing material like dry ice spraying mechanism. The proposed method is important for human safety. This research work covers the design and construction of a robot for fire extinguishing purpose that is an intelligent robotic system which is basically used to move through any complex maze of any building or industry where fire is swept everywhere. For the visual detection of fire in the floor of any building an IR LEDs based IP camera is used and the robot is remotely controlled by a high power 2.4 GHz ISM band radio frequency based NRF24L01 + PA + LNA technology covering 1 km range outdoor from the base station. Therefore, the proposed robot has the sole combination of Electronics and Mechanical Engineering. The robot has been controlled from about 500 m in practical field and it has been observed that all the signals were received and transmitted perfectly.
