Abstract

Fire hazards continue to pose serious risks in homes, workplaces, and industrial facilities, making rapid detection and early suppression crucial for minimizing damage and protecting lives. This paper presents the design and development of an autonomous fire suppression robot built around an Arduino- based control system. The robot is engineered to independently detect, approach, and extinguish small fires with minimal human interaction. It incorporates multiple sensing components, including flame sensors for heat and light detection and an MQ-2 gas sensor for identifying smoke and flammable gases. Sensor data is processed by an Arduino Uno, which coordinates navigation and suppression actions. A servo-driven water nozzle provides accurate targeting, while a motor driver module ensures stable movement across various surfaces. To promote energy efficiency and longer operational time, the robot is powered by a solar-assisted battery system. In addition, a SIM800L communication module delivers real-time alerts, enabling remote supervision. Overall, the system offers a cost-effective, adaptable, and practical solution for improving fire response times and strengthening safety measures in a wide range of environments.

Keywords: Arduino, autonomous robot, embedded systems, fire detection, fire suppression, flame sensor, scalable, SIM800L, water spraying mechanism
