The advances in autonomous technologies and microelectronics have increased the use of Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in more critical applications, such as forest fire monitoring and fighting. In addition, implementing surveillance methods that provide rich information about the fires is considered a great tool for Emergency Response Teams (ERT). From this aspect and in collaboration with Telefónica Digital España, Dronitec S.L, and Divisek Systems, this paper presents a fire monitoring system based on perception algorithms, implemented on a UAV, to perform surveillance tasks allowing the monitoring of a specific area, in which several algorithms have been implemented to perform the tasks of autonomous take-off/landing, trajectory planning, and fire monitoring. This UAV is equipped with RGB and thermal cameras, temperature sensors, and communication modules in order to provide full information about the fire and the UAV itself, sending these data to the ground station in real time. The presented work is validated by performing several flights in a real environment, and the obtained results show the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed system, against different weather conditions.

“…MAVs fighting fires have also already been a topic for robotic competitions. [20] describes the design and implementation of a firefighting MAV for outdoor applications designed specifically for the IMAV 2015 competition. The employment of MAVs could also prove to be beneficial and life-saving in urban environments.…”

Autonomous Firefighting Inside Buildings by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

et al. 2021

This paper presents a novel approach to autonomous extinguishing of indoor fires inside a building by a Micro-scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (MAV). In particular, controlling and estimating the MAV state, detection of a building entrance, multi-modal MAV localization during the outdoorindoor transition, interior motion planning and exploration, fire detection and position estimation, and fire extinguishing are discussed. The performance of these elements, as well as of the entire integrated system, are evaluated in simulations and field tests in various demanding real-world conditions. The system presented here is part of a complex multi-MAV solution that won the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge 2020 (MBZIRC 2020) competition, and is being used as the core of a fire-fighting Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) industrial platform under development.

<p>Los incendios forestales siguen siendo uno de los grandes problemas ambientales a los que se enfrenta la sociedad en la actualidad. Además del gran impacto medioambiental, la destrucción de ecosistemas y las posibles pérdidas humanas, hay que añadir los costes económicos derivados de la lucha contra el fuego. Todos estos motivos han provocado que se busque en la tecnología actual, herramientas y sistemas que permitan ayudar en tareas de la lucha contra incendios y, más en concreto, el uso de Vehículos Aéreos No Tripulados (UAVs). El hecho de que los UAVs puedan alcanzar lugares remotos de manera rápida y, embarcar sensores y dispositivos que ayuden en tareas peligrosas y arriesgadas, los hacen idóneos para la lucha contra el fuego. En este trabajo recoge el desarrollo, en colaboración con Telefónica Digital España, de una aplicación innovadora haciendo uso de la tecnología más actual presente en la robótica, en la cual un dron es capaz de realizar tareas de vigilancia y monitorización de incendios de manera autónoma, gracias a los sensores y dispositivos embarcados en el mismo. Además, se implementa una interfaz gráfica que permita el intercambio de información entre la aeronave y el usuario en tierra.</p>
