Develop a Multiple Interface Based Fire Fighting Robot

Abstract

The security of home, laboratory, office, factory and building is important to human life. We develop an intelligent multisensor based security system that contains a fire fighting robot in our daily life. The security system can detect abnormal and dangerous situation and notify us. First, we design a fire fighting robot with extinguisher for the intelligent building. The fire fighting robot is constructed using aluminum frame. The mobile robot has the shape of cylinder and its diameter, height and weight is 50 cm, 130 cm and 80kg. There are six systems in the fire fighting robot, including structure, avoidance obstacle and driver system, software development system, fire detection, remote supervise system and others. We design the fire detection system using two flame sensors in the fire fighting robot, and program the fire detection and fighting procedure using sensor based method. We design a low cost based obstacle detection module using IR sensors and ultrasonic sensors in the mobile robot. The man-machine interface of the fire fighting robot must be mobility and convenience. We use touch screen to display system status, and design a general user interface (GUI) on the touch screen for the mobile robot. Finally, we implement the fire detection system using fire fighting robot. If fire accident is true, the fire fighting robot can uses two flame sensors to find out fire source by the proposed method, and move to fire source to fight the fire using extinguisher.Keywords：fire fighting robot、man-machine interface、touch screen

A multi-sensor based fire fighting robot with wireless control and visual system

“…It also has a remote control system which is based on GUI which is implemented on touch screen to display system status. If a fire occurred the robot go direction of the fire using the sensors and extinguish the fire [4].…”

Development of a multisensor-based residual power prediction system for mobile robots

“…Recently more and more researchers take interests in intelligent service robots. In our lab, we have been designed a mobile robot (ISLR-I) to fire-fighting [1,2]. However, when the mobile robot has been working for a long time, the mobile robot will lack power.…”

System-Level Testing and Evaluation Plan for Field Robots: A Tutorial with Test Course Layouts

“…The courses are adapted for general field robotic platforms to conduct systems analysis, finding and fixing performance issues, and defining capability limitations in a general basic field robotic platform. Field robotic systems may tackle a variety of jobs, such as agricultural work [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] (Figure 1a,b), firefighting [37][38][39], construction/demolition [40][41][42] (Figure 1c), search-and-rescue missions [43][44][45] (Figure 1d), and work in explosive or hazardous environments [46][47][48][49][50] (Figure 1e), among others. They are generally small platforms (i.e., small vehicles) and may be controlled by-wire (manual control), semi-autonomous or tele-operated control (SA/TO), or may be controlled autonomously.…”
