Robumbero: Smart Firefighting Robot

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a fire-fighting robot called Robumbero. This smart fire-fighting robot can be operated automatically or manually using a remote control. It can extinguish fires at an early phase without the actual presence of the firefighters and without exposing one’s self to the danger of fire. It is equipped with an ABC fire extinguisher, and sensors to detect fire and obstructions. It also has a camera that allows users to have a real-time view of the robot’s surroundings for easy manipulation. The robot’s overall performance was assessed using a descriptive research method. It was evaluated by the twenty students and employees from Don Honorio Venture State University, BFP and ten engineers. The data obtained were analyzed and it was revealed that the robot has met all the criteria of ISO25010 and that its overall performance can be deemed efficient and effective.
