MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051045 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 22, for 'fire fighting robot using arduino.'
Inventor(s) include Uma Ribiya S; Rohitha M R; Sanjana S; and B. Lalithambigai.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a fire fighting robot designed to detect and extinguish fire, reducing human risk and improving safety. The system employs an Arduino-based automation mechanism that identifies fire using sensors and activates extinguishing components with minimal human intervention. The device consists of a structured chassis, flame sensors, water pump or extinguisher unit, and control system that collectively enable effective fire detection and suppression. During operation, the robot moves towards the fire source, detects flame presence, and automatically releases water or extinguishing agents. This process significantly reduces response time and human involvement in hazardous situations. The proposed system is particularly useful in homes, industries, and fire-prone areas. The invention offers a low-cost, easy-to-operate, and portable solution that enhances safety and reduces damage. By integrating simple automation, the system improves emergency response efficiency and supports safer fire management practices."
