ABSTRACT
Fire fighting is an important job but it is very dangerous occupation. Due to that, Robots are designed to find a fire, before it rages out of control. It could be used to work with fire fighters to reduce the risk of injury to victims. This paper presents the Fire Fighting Robot competition that purposely to simulate the real-world operation of an autonomous robot to rescue 10 victims (table tennis balls) and stop 5 fires (emergency candles) in a house within three minutes. The robot development is consisting of three elements which is the hardware, electronic, and programming. The robot has three DC motor, two for driving system and another single DC motor for ball suction subsystem and the fire blowing subsystem. Various sensors are also interfaced with PIC16F877A as a feedback to the robot such as photoelectric sensors, fiber optic sensor and RGB color sensors. LCD display also gives the graphical information of the robot status to the user. For the programming part, C language is used to determine the robot action gain from the sensors input.
