Design and Implementation of Autonomous Firefighting Rover
The firefighting rover is built to work in dangerous fire situations where it's too risky for firefighters to be directly involved. It uses a four-wheel design to move over rough terrains and handle high temperatures, making it suitable for places like forests, mountains, uneven roads, and caves. The rover is equipped with a Raspberry Pi and other components to detect fires using image recognition. It has a water tank and hose system to spray water on the fire, with a motor to pump the water and move the rover. A gas sensor helps detect toxic gasses in the area, and everything is controlled by an Arduino Uno. The rover is enclosed in a strong, simple design. The system is trained with 3,000 examples of fire, gas, and smoke, allowing it to be about 90% accurate in detecting hazards, with results recorded for reference.
