This project deals with the working of a simple robot that uses Arduino IDE. The main idea of the project is to make a robot that will move towards an area where there is fire and spray water around the place to put off the fire. This enables us to learn the underlying concepts of robotics. This will further serve as the base for construction of more complex and sophisticated robots.
Components Required
The robots have sensors that have an IR receiver which detects fire. This is because of the fact that burning fire emits a small amount of infra- red light. This light is received by the IR receiver of the sensor module. Our robot is driven towards the fire using the L293D module. Once near the fire water is to be sprayed on it. We use a small container of water which is pumped by a 5V pump. The pump is placed in the container which is then placed on top of a servo motor so that we can control the direction in which the water is being sprayed.
