3. ABSTRACT
Fire fighting robot is a newly developed design where its function is to reduce the fire fighter risk in the dangerous situations
This project is propose the fire-fighting robot using multiple sensor to detect the fire and extinguish the flame.
The microcontroller PIC 16f877A use to control the operation of the robot.
Two sensor which are distance sensor and flame sensor used to detect flame and avoiding the robot from the fire with predetermined distance.

4. OBJECTIVE The objective of this project are divided into 3 parts:
PART A:
To innovate the robot communicate using voice command
To choice the right component for robot
To apply android application on the robot
To design the fire detection system using two flame sensor which is programmed for fire detection
PART B:
To design the fire detection system using two flame sensor which is programmed for fire detection using sensor based method
To develop distance detection in avoiding hitting the wall and approaching the flame
PART C:
To verify overall operation of whole system using lab view software
To study how to combine all application that we use in one microcontroller

5. Introduction
A fireman jobs is to extinguish the fires also to prevent destruction of life, property and the environment.
Figure 1 shows that the fireman also used fire engine tools and equipments to extinguish fire.
Figure 1: Fire engine

6. In this project, we are designing the fire detection system using two flame sensor which is programmed for fire detection using sensor based method.
To extinguish the fire source, our robot will use fire extinguish and the robot could be controlled by remote and voice command using Android application.
To complete the project, we are divided into 3 parts ;
Part A will be conducted by Ashraff, Part B will be conducted by Arif and Part C will be conducted by Yusuff.

8. Problem statement
Fire fighter is a dangerous job and a lot of brave men are dying every year. To save lives , a fire-fighting robot should take its place. Send a robot in if a building is going to collapse or think of big chemical fires with a lot of heat and not so healthy gases and the danger of explosions or small spaces.
Fire fighter also have to do so may job:
Rescue
Fire drill
Disaster
Accident

10. LITERATURE REVIEW
In the current research, the development of technology on firefighting is in progress around the world. Most of the tools and equipment are manually operated by the fireman. In the new era of technology, the advances technology of firefighting machines is most conquered by the Western Country [1,2]
Many robot are built autonomous [3,4].
using fan method autonomous robot

11. DISADVANTAGES OF THIS ROBOT
Using fan method
Cannot extinguish the big fire
spread the fire
autonomous robot
Not suitable for open space or open area
Slow to reach and turn of the fire

12. INNOVATION OUR PROJECT
The innovation has been made in my project which is we use :
navigation system
We can remotely monitoring and controlling the robot
voice recognition system
Use android application to control the robot using voice
Using fire extinguisher tank
Using this method to extinguish the fire
Suitable to all types of fire
