Fire fighting robots
Firefighters can save a lot of lives someday, The lives of those affected by the fire disaster, as well as the lives of people who work as firefighters, can be useful in certain types of incidents where the environment will be Very dangerous for humans such as hazardous materials, radioactivity or propane tank that can explode. Robots that help firefighters are not a sight often seen, there are robotic devices that can already be used for such purposes, These include bots that can be thrown at the fire place to inspect the situation, as well as large fire extinguishers Of remotely controlled fires.
The robot is used to fight the fire where humans can not enter, can identify the location of the fire and can be moved automatically, can rotate automatically if there are obstacles, can take many pictures of the fireplace regularly and send it to the central system, Once the robot detects the location of the fire ... .etc The artificial intelligence fire-fighting robot is motion-based robot, used to detect fire and spread water in that direction, it uses RF communication to communicate between the robot and the control room that is placed in The remote place.
Firefighting has two sensors, Moves in all directions from its position, When the flame or high temperature point is detected, the movement of the robot will stop automatically and indicates the fire that has been detected. Fire fighting has the microcontroller which is the most important of the design, acts as the brain for the robot, connects all sensors and motors, contains all the code for the robot's operations. The controller is the part of the robot that operates the mechanical arm and maintains the contacts with its environment, this device is the combination of hardware and software that helps it to carry out its assigned tasks.
Most fire-fighting robots are remote-controlled, tethered by the fire hose that supplies the water, which have infrared and standard cameras that transmit the images back to the operator. The fire-fighting robot helps to detect the exact direction of the fire source, has the ability to accurately detect with more flexibility, low cost in the long run, is reliable and economical, by placing the sensors properly we can detect Efficiently the location of fire.
Components of the fire-fighting robot
The fire-fighting robot is composed of around the Board, Flame Sensor Modules, DC Motor Controller, Electronic Valve (or Linear Actuator), DC Gear Motor, Fire Extinguisher, Wheels, Engine Tweezers , Switch, wire, ETC screws, tools Requires, soldering iron and multimeter.
Self-contained on-board fire-fighting robot (SAFFiR):
It is the autonomous robot of human size able to find and suppress the fires of on board and to work perfectly with the human firefighters. He is able to walk in many senses, balancing himself in the conditions of the state of the sea and crossing obstacles. It is capable of handling fire suppressors, can use the existing thermal shielding equipment, is able to independently navigate the on board environment with the appropriate sensor suite.
It can offer fire detection, environmental monitoring and can present the situation awareness capabilities, it can make use of wide range of fire extinguishing technologies, it can withstand the highest heat for longer periods than The human firefighters, works with the human firefighters, responds to gestures and orders. Autonomous systems for fire safety and damage control can be developed, reduce the ship's vulnerability to damage and decrease recovery time, while significantly reducing life cycle costs, size and weight Of future damage control systems. It is a technology that will reduce human risks and provides alerts based on the detection of incipient fires and fires, helps humans suppress fire and provide awareness of the situation.
