MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024435 A) filed by Chennai Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'auto fire chaser and extinguisher.'
Inventor(s) include Ashok Kumar M; Sona Devi S; Kaviya Sree S; and Prithika G.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This project introduces an autonomous firefighting robotic platform engineered to detect, approach, and suppress small-scale fire hazards without requiring human intervention. The system is developed using an Arduino-based embedded controller integrated with a flame-sensing module, motor-driver-controlled mobility, and a fluid-based extinguishing mechanism to accurately identify a fire source and execute a targeted suppression response. Upon fire detection, the robot autonomously navigates toward the hotspot using a programmed motion and path-correction algorithm, maintains a safe operating distance, and activates its directional water-discharge mechanism to extinguish the flame efficiently and reliably. The proposed system serves as a safe, cost-effective, and compact early-stage fire mitigation solution suitable for homes, laboratories, warehouses, and educational institutions where human intervention may pose a risk. Emphasizing autonomous operation, modular hardware integration, and low-power sensing arch."
