Robot development is one of the big challenges in science and technology. It involves multidisciplinary fields of science and technology. In this chapter, we'll learn and explore how to build an autonomous robot for firefighting, starting with exploring robot platforms and then extending robot capabilities to address firefighting.
We'll learn the following topics:
- Introducing autonomous firefighter robots
- Exploring robot platforms
- Detecting a fire source
- Basic remote robot navigation
- Detecting obstacles
- Designing an autonomous robot
- Building an autonomous firefighter robot
