Villanova Fire-Bot

This project focuses on developing an autonomous robot for fire detection and extinguishing. With 20 minutes of burn time, every 32 minutes someone is injured in a fire, making this innovation crucial. The robot employs various sensors including IR proximity and thermal sensors, and uses a microcontroller for navigation and operation. The design was iteratively refined during the fall and spring semesters, culminating in a functional prototype capable of identifying fire sources and extinguishing flames, while ensuring user safety through real-time data transmission.

  1. Villanova Fire-Bot EE: Myles Durkin ME: Steve Kropp, Brian Lepus, Kevin McHugh, Ryan Ehid

  2. Motivation • 20 minutes of Burn Time • Roofs will collapse • Every 32 minutes • Someone is injured in a Fire • Every 162 minutes • Someone is killed in a Fire • In 2007 • 118 Fire Fighters were killed • EVERY SECOND COUNTS!!!

  3. Purpose • Quickly search through a building • Identify the source of the fire • Extinguish Fire • Transmit the information • Video, Proximity Sensors, Thermal Sensors

  4. Design Approach • Fall Semester • Initial Prototyping • Story Board • C programming • Test I/O – Push Buttons/Wire • Sensors • Output Analysis • Set into a Comparator Circuit • Adjust Threshold with Potentiometer • Test I/O with Sensor • Final Prototype

  5. Design Approach • Spring Semester • Modify Design • Adjust circuit for User input as well • Provide the power needed for ME’s design • Install Camera • Transmit data from User->Robot->User • Final Product • Test control systems
