Project on Fire Fighting Robot

Trinity College hosts an annual Robot Fire-Fighting contest drawing participants from around the world. The contestants vary in age, skill level, and experience, ranging from middle school students, college students, professors and all other robot enthusiasts. The purpose of this contest is to simulate the real-world operation of an autonomous robot providing a fire protection function in a house. The situation being simulated is a robot inside a home responding to a smoke detector going off by searching the house for a fire and putting it out as fast as possible. The contest is used as an educational tool while simultaneously promoting advancements in the field of robotics. This robot will first be activated by a smoke alarm signal, which then will proceed throughout the mock household and search for a flame. Upon finding the flame, the robot will extinguish it by actuating a pressurized CO2 cartridge. Once the flame is out, the robot will return to its original starting position in the quickest amount of time possible. There is no weight restriction for this robot, but in order to maximize its speed and performance the robot will be light and small in size.
