Application of fire fighting robot in fire fighting, rescue, reconnaissance and other fields

In order to reduce the probability of fire and the loss of life and property caused by fire, on the one hand, it is necessary to master more detailed fire information and faster fire fighting and rescue speed, on the other hand, it is necessary to pay more attention to the protection of firefighters. In view of the practical needs of this kind of fire fighting and rescue work, a special robot dedicated to fire fighting and rescue-fire fighting robot has begun to emerge in the fire fighting industry under the promotion of many policies such as "machine substitution" and "intelligent manufacturing 2025". As a special robot with many advanced technologies, fire fighting robot can not only help to obtain all kinds of information on the fire scene, but also help or even replace firefighters to enter dangerous areas for information acquisition and fire fighting and rescue operations, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly extinguishing fires and ensuring the safety of firefighters.

1. Requirements for fire fighting robots

Based on advanced manufacturing technology and intelligent control algorithm, the fire-fighting robot will far exceed the firefighter's individual combat ability in terms of fire fighting, rescue and reconnaissance, and at the same time, it can fully protect the distance between firefighters and the fire scene and ensure the life safety of firefighters.

At present, some experts and scholars in universities and many engineers and technicians in R&D enterprises have developed fire-fighting robots, and their product functions, product performance and product stability have been greatly improved.

Starting from the market demand of fire fighting robots, a series of catastrophic fire accidents in recent years are the source power to promote the development of fire fighting robots to be intelligent and practical. For example, the building fire of senior teachers in Jing 'an District, Shanghai, the explosion of Qingshuihe River in Shenzhen, the fire of Nanjing Jinling Petrochemical Company, the tank farm fire of Beijing Oriental Chemical Plant, and the explosion of logistics warehouse in Tianjin Binhai New Area have the characteristics of great difficulty in putting out the fire, heavy loss of life and property and great social impact.

Once this kind of accident happens, the fire spreads rapidly, the fire environment is complex and the fire information is missing. If firefighters rush into the fire to put out the fire, it will pose a serious threat to their lives. Therefore, the fire department gradually began to equip fire-fighting robots to deal with fire accidents in complex environments.

2. Research status of fire fighting robot.

At present, scholars have made corresponding research on the high temperature resistance, obstacle crossing and communication performance of fire fighting robots. Al Haza, a Saudi scholar, proposed and developed a new concept indoor fire fighting robot. The fire fighting robot can climb stairs and run normally in various indoor environments. Adopting multiple insulation technology, it can withstand the high temperature of 700℃ for 60 minutes. It can communicate with people trapped and injured in the fire, send video and audio information to the remote controller, and transmit the fire environment information in the building. At the same time, based on the communication algorithm, multiple fire-fighting robots can be controlled by the remote controller to work cooperatively. The research of fire fighting robot started late. From the end of 20th century to the beginning of 20th century, the concept of fire fighting robot was introduced and the corresponding research was carried out. In 2002, the fully functional fire-fighting robot developed by Shanghai Fire Research Institute, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Shanghai Fire Bureau passed the acceptance of the National Natural Science Foundation.
