An autonomous firefighter robot is basically an autonomous robot with an objective of sprinkling water on a fire. To achieve this goal, the robot will move around to find a fire source. While moving, a robot should handle obstacle problems.

A sample design of an autonomous firefighter robot can be seen here:

The robot should have a water sprinkler module and fire and obstacle detection sensors. The robot platform can be based in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other MCU boards.

The idea of an autonomous robot for firefighting is similar in behavior to a common autonomous robot, but with additional features to detect fires and sprinkle water on them.

We can modify our autonomous robot design from the previous section for a firefighter robot scenario. You can see the modified design here:

We've added fire detection and water sprinkling to our algorithm. When the robot is moving, it should detect obstacles and fire. If it finds a fire, it should sprinkle water on it to put it out.
