MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641122933 A) filed by Francis Xavier Engineering College on October 14, 2026, for Water Spraying Fire Fighting Robot.
Inventors include Mr. Syed Kani. J; Mr. Mariselvam. S; Mr. Ramasubramanian. G; Mr. Sathish. C; Mr. Deva Sriprasath. J; Mr. Vanaraja Manickam. I; Dr. J. Jeremy Jeba Samuel; and Mr. S. M. Sunderrajan.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a water spraying firefighting robot configured to detect, approach, and suppress a fire in hazardous environments where direct human intervention may expose firefighters to excessive heat, smoke, toxic gases, or structural hazards. The robot comprises a mobile chassis, a mobility assembly, a water storage tank, a pump, a water delivery conduit, and a directionally adjustable nozzle assembly for directing water toward a detected fire. A sensor system incorporating one or more temperature sensors, flame sensors, smoke sensors, distance sensors, and a camera provides environmental information to a control unit. The control unit processes the information to support navigation, fire localization, obstacle avoidance, and controlled water discharge. The robot may be operated through a remote- control interface or an autonomous operating mode, depending on the implementation. A communication module may transmit operational status, images, sensor readings, and water-level information to an operator. The invention provides a mobile firefighting platform intended to improve access to hazardous locations, support targeted water application, and reduce the need for personnel to approach a fire directly.
