Abstract :
Autonomous robots can be equipped to detect potential threats of fire and find out the source while avoiding the obstacles during navigation. The proposed system uses Voting Logic Fusion to approach and declare a potential fire source autonomously. The robot follows the increasing gradient of light and heat to identify the threat and approach source.
