Abstract

The swarm robotics inspired from nature is a combination of swarm intelligence and robotics, which shows a great potential in several aspects. Swarm robotics is a relatively new and rapidly developing field which draws inspiration from swarm intelligence. It is an interesting alternative to classical approaches to robotics because of some properties of problem solving present in social insects, which is flexible, robust, decentralized and self-organized. Fire detection and extinguishment are the hazardous job that invariably put the life of a fire fighter in danger. By putting a robot to perform this task in a fire-prone area, it can aid to avoid annoying incidents or the loss of lives. This paper describes the development of Swarm Intelligence Fire Fighting Robot using (SIFFR) that is equipped with the basic fighting equipment that can round through the hazardous site via a guiding track with the aim of early detection for fire. When the fire source is being identified, the temperature will be promptly extinguished using the fire extinguishing system that is mounted on receiving robots platform. To detect for fire source, the input from temperature sensors were finely-tuned in relation to the surrounding area, external interference and the mobility of the SIFFR prior the deployment of the platform.
