Abstract: The present invention relates to An autonomous firefighting robot is disclosed comprising a chassis/base frame (100), BO geared DC motors (101), wheels (102), infrared flame sensors (103), an Arduino microcontroller board (104), a servo motor (105), a water outlet pipe/nozzle (106), a motor driver circuit (107), a relay module (108), a DC water pump (109), a water container/tank (110), a power supply/battery unit (111), connecting wires and circuit assembly (112), and a power switch (113). The infrared flame sensors (103) detect presence and direction of fire and transmit signals to the Arduino microcontroller (104). The motor driver circuit (107) drives the motors (101) to navigate toward the fire. Upon reaching predefined proximity, the relay module (108) activates the water pump (109) to draw water from the tank (110) and spray through the nozzle (106). The servo motor (105) actuates the nozzle (106) to perform sweeping motion for fire suppression. The system operates autonomously without human intervention.
