Abstract:

This paper presents an innovative approach to revolutionizing firefighting robotics by integrating a novel solar powerbased system. The innovative design incorporates high-efficiency solar panels, ensuring an uninterrupted and renewable power source for the robot’s functionalities. The solar power-based firefighting robot has advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and real-time data processing capabilities, enhancing its performance in various firefighting scenarios. The paper researches the technical intricacies of the robot’s architecture, highlighting the integration of solar energy storage systems and power management techniques to optimize energy utilization. This research addressesthe challenges associated with traditional energy sources in firefighting robots, such as inadequate operational time and environmental impact. Comparative analyses against conventional methods underscore the advantages of sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability the solar-powered approach offers. Furthermore, the paper discusses the implications of this novel method in disaster response, emphasizing its potential to reform conventional firefighting approaches and foster a more resilient and sustainable future. The present study suggests future advancements, such as intensified testing in authentic firefighting situations, the incorporation of sophisticated sensors, and cybersecurity protocols to guarantee the security and dependability of solar-powered firefighting robots. This research contributes to the growing field of renewable energy integration in robotics. It presents a promising avenue for advancing firefighting technology, focusing on sustainability and efficiency in emergencies.
