MOBILE ROBOTIC PLATFORM FOR FIREFIGHTING – CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT, FINISSING AND MOCKUP BUILDUP

Abstract

This paper presents the concept development and building of a mobile platform for firefighting and disaster interventions using competitive design principles combined with specific engineering software packages. Fire is the most common risk that occurs on our national territory, its prevalence making it of special interest. It is a phenomenon that affects important areas of economic and social life (construction, installations, forests, means of transport, agricultural crops). In this context, the intervention for limiting, removing or counteracting the risk factors is very important for the timely and qualified response in emergency situations. Also, having accurate and detailed information from as close as possible can aid the intervention team in the decision-making process related to the intervention plan.
