3. Overview
• The Intelligent Firefighting Robot is a next-generation, IoT-enabled
system that autonomously detects and extinguishes fires. Designed
for environments where human response is risky or delayed, this
robot enhances fire safety using real-time sensors, mobile control,
and smart automation.
• Our mission is to minimize fire damage and maximize safety using
compact, affordable, and scalable robotics.
The Real-World Problem
• Fire emergencies often escalate due to delayed detection and manual
firefighting.
• In India, especially Tamil Nadu, fire incidents in homes, labs, and
commercial spaces cause significant life and property loss annually.
• Human firefighters face limitations like visibility, accessibility, and
personal risk.
• There is a pressing need for autonomous firefighting systems that
can respond instantly and intelligently.
4. 📍 National Statistics (India)
• In 2022, India recorded 7,566 fire accidents, resulting
in 7,435 deaths.
• 50% of these occurred in residential homes.
• 21% caused by electrical short circuits, 20% by
LPG/cylinder explosions.
• A 2025 survey revealed that only 18% of Indian
households conduct annual fire safety checks.
📍 Tamil Nadu Insights
• Forest fires surged in 2023–24 with 3,380 incidents,
the highest in 4 years.
• 217 fires reported between Feb–May 2024 in
Kodaikanal, Vellore, etc.
• On Deepavali 2024, Tamil Nadu reported 150 fire
accidents, causing 1 death and 544 injuries.
• Industrial fires in fireworks factories (Feb & June
2024) caused multiple fatalities in Virudhunagar.
Fire Incidents in India
Need for Innovation
• Delayed human response, poor awareness, and inaccessible fire zones underline the urgent need for autonomous
fire response systems.
• Our proposed Intelligent Firefighting Robot offers a timely, efficient, and safe solution for such scenarios.
