Edge Computing Application-Specific Integrated Circuit With Two Serial Communication Protocols and a Backpropagation Neural Network

An Autonomous Fire Extinguisher Rover with Self-Preservation and Emergency Protocols is a mobile robotic system that autonomously detects and extinguishes small fires while protecting itself and alerting humans. Built around an Arduino microcontroller, the rover uses fire/flame and temperature sensors to detect fire sources, ultrasonic sensors for obstacle avoidance, and a motor driver to drive DC motors for locomotion. When a fire is detected it navigates toward the source, activates a relay-driven water pump to spray extinguishing water, sounds an alarm (buzzer), and sends emergency alerts via GSM. Self-preservation features include thermal cut-out, low-battery return or shutdown, and safety interlocks to prevent pump/motor damage. The system is designed as a modular prototype so each capability (detection, mobility, extinguishing, communications, safety) can be developed and validated independently and then integrated.
