The Design of a Novel Multi-Purpose Fire Fighting Robot

The Design of a Novel Multi-Purpose Fire Fighting Robot involves creating an autonomous or remotely operated unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) capable of navigating hazardous fire scenes. Key design pillars include: a rugged, heat-resistant chassis with tracked/wheeled locomotion for debris; integrated thermal cameras and gas sensors for situational awareness; a versatile fire suppression system (water mist, foam cannon, dry chemical); and a manipulator arm for obstacle clearing or rescue. The robot acts as a force multiplier, entering environments too dangerous for firefighters to perform reconnaissance, initial attack, and cooling, thereby enhancing crew safety and operational effectiveness.

• Multi-terrain mobility (tracked) with high-grade heat and water resistance.

• Sensor suite: 360° thermal imaging, RGB cameras, gas (CO, H2S) and atmospheric sensors.

• Multi-agent suppression system (water/foam/chemical) with a high-flow monitor nozzle.

• Robotic manipulator arm for door opening, debris removal, and tool delivery.

• Robust communication system for control and data relay from within structures.

• Designed to operate in extreme heat and low-visibility conditions to protect human firefighters.
