Abstract -A robot is defined as mechanical plan that is capableof performing human tasks or behaving in a human-like mode.
Constructing a robot require knowledge and complex programming. It is about building system and putting together motors,
solenoids, and wires, among other important components. There are a number of subsystems that must be designed to fit together
into an appropriate package suitable for carrying out a robot’s task. The fire-fighting robot competition is an international
struggle where the challenge is to design and buildfire-fighting robots that can discover its way,and that correspond to a model
house, find the lit candle that represent a fire in the house, and snuff out the fire in the shortest time while avoiding any obstacles in
the robot path.

Keyword:Fire, mobile robot, robot sensing system, temperature sensors, sensor system.

from the source end to the receiver end for calculating the
movement of the robot in forward direction, backward
direction, right or left directions. At the receiver side, two
motors are interfaced to the 8051 microcontroller wherein
two of them are used for the movement of the vehicle and

Further, this work is developed by interfacing it with a

the operation of the robot remotely on a display.

There are several potential of fire in any remote area or in

anmanufacturing. For instance, ingarments god owns,
cotton mills, and fuel storage tanks, electric leakages may
result in massive fire anddamage. In the most terrible
cases and scenarios, fire causes heavy losses both
economically and by taking lives. Robotics is the best
possible way to safeguard human lives, wealth and
environment. A Firefighting robot is planned and built
with an embedded system. It is capable of navigating
alone on a model floor while actively scanning the flames
of fire. The robot could be used as a path conduct in a
fireplace device or, in normal case, as an emergency
device. This robot is designed in such a way that it
searches a fire, and douses it before the fire could spread
out of collectionand control. In this type of firefighting
robot will sooner or later work with firefighters, thus to a
great extentit reducing the danger of injury to fatalities. Fig2: Microprocessor 8051
