FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT
Objective:
This work explores the implementation of both Bluetooth technologies in mobile robots. The mobile robot has the capability to move around autonomously. If any hurdle faced, pc in turn can redirect the robot. The controls are stored in a PC that acts as a master cum server. The video of the movement of the robot is transferred from the mobile robot are transmitted to the master and processed. Bluetooth technology is used for the same. Then, a command or instruction for further action is transmitted from the server to the mobile robot. This is done through GPRS technology. Hence, the main "brain" is in the server instead of the mobile robot. The user can use the PC to activate and deactivate the water control unit.

Description:
Server-Side:
The server PC is designed to monitor the place by viewing the video being streamed from the mobile. The server has the privilege to move the robot remotely i.e. left, right, front and back to have fire in focus. The relay could also be controlled by turning it on/off.
Client-Side:
At the client end, the symbian c++ is responsible for the communication between the robot and the mobile through Bluetooth. There is an option for controlling the relay i.e. to turn on/off. The PC is intimated by the mobile through socket communication as well as starts capturing the images.
The mobile streams the video to the server such that the robot can be moved in all the directions i.e. front, back, left and right to monitor the place as well as to focus to view the status of that area.
