Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-navigating fire extinguishing robot with Arduino integration for autonomous detection, localization, approach, and suppression of a fire condition. The robot comprises a mobile chassis having motor-driven wheels, an Arduino-based controller, flame and environmental sensors, obstacle detection sensors, a directional fire localization arrangement, a communication module, a power supply, and an automatically controlled extinguishing assembly. The Arduino controller processes sensor information to confirm a fire condition, determine an approximate fire direction, and control movement of the robot toward the detected fire while avoiding obstacles. Directionally positioned fire sensors provide comparative information for adjusting the robot trajectory during movement. Upon reaching a predetermined suppression position, the controller activates a pump, valve, nozzle, or other extinguishing actuator to discharge an extinguishing medium toward the fire. Subsequent sensor measurements are compared with pre-suppression measurements to determine suppression effectiveness and control further extinguishing cycles. The system thereby integrates fire detection, autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, extinguishing control, and feedback-based verification in a compact robotic platform.
