Abstract:
Firefighting is an essential yet hazardous profession. Technology has now crossed the
gap between humans and machines, enabling for a much more effective and efficient firefighting
strategy. Robots developed to locate a fire before it spreads out of control might one day
collaborate with firefighters, drastically lowering the danger of human injury. These thesis
focuses on different design and fabrication of a Firefighting robot. The reason behind every
design of robot, cost analysis and its simplicity and effectively in the scenario of Bangladesh
have also been discussed. A sample design has been finalized on the basis of the findings. It has
also gone under simulations and other experiment and the flaws have been identified. The usual
sensors for robot navigation do not operate well so an integrated semi-autonomous system is
built here with the help of Raspberry pi microprocessor. Along with these the existing
firefighting technologies are discussed and evaluated. In the end of these thesis a proper view of
the future of the firefighting Robot has been drawn.
