Fire Fighting Robot Using Flame Detector and Ultrasonic Based on Fuzzy Logic Control

Abstract

The development of a fire fighting robot requires a fire detector with high accuracy, which is influenced by the input signal received from the sensor. It was embedded in the robot. The fire fighting robot requires a control method used by the robot in the fire detection process. In this study, the flame detector KY -026 ultrasonic was installed on the front of the robot and used Arduino MEGA 2560 as the microcontroller. In order to make the robot movement more stable when detecting fire, a Fuzzy Logic controls the fan and DC motor PWM. Testing Fuzzy Logic on the robot is carried out with the condition that the robot detects fire on a candle with a distance of 20 cm for the ultrasonic sensor and the ADC value of 300 for the flame detector. It compared the output of the fire fighting robot based on Fuzzy Logic with the output from manual calculations, simulation calculations, and robot system calculations. It is obtained that Fuzzy Logic has been successfully implemented on firefighting robots.
