Abstract : Fire incidents are disasters that can potentially lead to the loss of life and property. It can also leads to a temporal or permanent disability on the affected victim. The primary duty of fire fighters is to handle fire incidents, which often exposed them to high risks when carrying out the task of extinguishing fire, especially in hazardous area. This study presents the development of a fire extinguishing robot with SMS alert feature that can raise an alarm to notify occupants of the building, send an alert SMS message to a registered phone number, and also proceed to extinguish the fire unmanned. It is designed to be compact in size in order to ease movement into narrow spaces. The robot is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor to avoid collision with any obstacle and objects in the surrounding, while the flame sensor alongside a smoke sensor, were used to detect the fire. This developed autonomous system demonstrates capabilities of identifying fire locations automatically and extinguishes the fire using the stored mixture in the container placed on it.

Keywords : fire alarm, flame sensor, robot, smoke sensor, ultrasonic sensor.
