INTRODUCTION

1.1 FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT (FFR):

Embedded system, the exact definition is the system designed using

microprocessor or micro controller may be both combined to perform the
specified task.

Here we are using the micro controller to perform the action that is
continuously monitors the specified area whether there is any fire and
automatically it goes near to the flame and extinguish the fire.

We are using photo diode of the TIL series are sensitive to linear
polarized light in the wavelength area of 400nm – 950nm. If there is any
presence of flame the forward current increases and confirm the fire by
checking the temperature sensors output and then it gives buzzer and
extinguish the fire by moving towards it.

1.2 EMBEDDED SYSTEMS:

Embedded system can be defined as the system with a true on chip

computer. Embedded core computers installed in devices such as appliances,
vehicles, medical devices, and so on. In an embedded system there is only
one application software that is typically burned into the ROM. An PC
contains or connected to various embedded products such as keyboard,
printer, modem, disk controller, sound card, CD-Rom driver, mouse and so
Copyright © [email protected] 10

on. Each one of these peripherals has a micro controller inside it that
performs only one task. For e.g., inside every mouse there is a micro
controller to perform the task of finding position and sending to the PC. One
of the most critical needs of embedded system is to decrease power
consumption and space. Interfacing more functions into the CPU chip does
this.

They differ from computers in services and PCs because of limits on

size, power consumption, form factor, and location (e.g. Mobility), resulting
in limits on computational power, memory, and communication
connectivity. Embedded systems are increasingly common; they control
important devices in military, government, industrial, and increasingly
consumer contexts.

Some of the embedded products using micro controller are intercom,

telephones, fax machines, musical instruments, televisions, VCR, remote
controls, video games, micro wave, copier, printer, cellular phones etc.,

1.3 COMPARING MICRO CONTROLLER AND

MICROPROCESSOR:

The contrast between the micro controller and microprocessor is best

exemplified by the fact that most microprocessor has many op-codes for
moving data from external memory to CPU; micro controller may have one
or two. Microprocessor may have one or two types of bit handling
instructions; micro controllers will have many.

To summarize, the microprocessor is concerned with rapid movement

of code and data from external address to the chip; the micro controller is
concerned with rapid movements of bits with in the chip. The micro
controller can function as a computer with the addition of no additional
external parts; the microprocessor must have many additional parts to be
operational.

2 MICROCONTROLLER

Micro controllers are having the customized terminals and user-

friendly interfacing and increased fan out of the individual I/O ports, which
is accessed to our requirements. The reason for this tremendous

advancement in embedded system and development is reliability and data
hiding and protecting the technology from the pirating problem as like in the
discrete IC‘s.

2.3 OVERVIEW:

The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose
working registers. All the 32 registers are directly connected to the
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be
accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting
architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten
times faster than conventional CISC micro controllers.

The ATmega8 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit micro controller based on

the AVR RISC Architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single
clock cycle, the ATmega8 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per
MHz, allowing the system designer to Optimize power consumption versus
processing speed.

memory programmer, or by an On-chip boot program running on the AVR
core. The boot program can use any interface to download the application
program in the Application Flash memory. Software in the Boot Flash
Section will continue to run while the Application Flash Section is updated,
providing true Read-While-Write operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC
CPU with In-System Self- Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the
Atmel ATmega8 is a powerful micro controller that provides a highly
flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications.

2.3.1 INTRODUCTION:

The ATmega8 provides the following features:

8K bytes of In-System Programmable Flash with Read-While-Write

capabilities, 512 bytes of EEPROM, 1K byte of SRAM, 23 General purpose
I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, three flexible
Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a
serial programmable USART, a byte oriented Two-wire Serial Interface, a 6-
channel ADC (eight channels in TQFP and MLF packages) with 10-bit
accuracy, a programmable Watchdog Timer with Internal Oscillator, an SPI
serial port, and five software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode
stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, Timer/Counters, SPI port, and
interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the
register contents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions
until the next Interrupt or Hardware Reset. In Power-save mode, the
asynchronous timer continues to run, allowing the user to maintain a timer
base while the rest of the device is sleeping.

The ADC Noise Reduction mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules
except Asynchronous timer and ADC, to minimize switching noise during
ADC conversions.

In Standby mode, the crystal/resonator Oscillator is running while the

rest of the device is Sleeping. This allows very fast start-up combined with
low-power consumption. The device is manufactured using Atmel‘s high-
density non-volatile memory technology. The Flash Program memory can be
reprogrammed In-System through an SPI serial Interface, by a conventional
non-volatile memory programmer, or by an On-chip boot program running
on the AVR core. The boot program can use any interface to download the
application program in the Application Flash memory.

Software in the Boot Flash Section will continue to run while the
Application Flash Section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write
operation. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-
Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel ATmega8 is a
powerful micro controller that provides a highly flexible and cost-effective
solution to many embedded control applications.

 The ATmega8 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and
system development tools, including C compilers, macro assemblers, and
program debugger/simulators, In-Circuit Emulators, and evaluation kits.

2.3.2 INSTRUCTION EXECUTION TIMIMG:

This section describes the general access timing concepts for

instruction execution. The CPU clock CPU, directly generated from the
selected clock, drives the AVR CPU source for the chip. No internal clock
division is used. Figure 2.2 shows the parallel instruction fetches and
instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture and the fast-
access Register File concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain
up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions
per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

VCC Digital supply voltage.

GND Ground.

XTAL1/XTAL2/TOSC1/TOSC2

PORT B (PB7….PB0)

Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors

(selected for each bit). The Port B output buffers have symmetrical drive
characteristics with both high sink
and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low
will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated. The Port B pins are
tri-stated when a reset condition becomes active, even if the clock is not
running.

Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB6 can be used as

input to the inverting Oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock
operating circuit. Depending on the clock selection fuse settings, PB7 can be
used as output from the inverting Oscillator amplifier.

If the Internal Calibrated RC Oscillator is used as chip clock source,

PB7..6 is used as TOSC2..1 input for the Asynchronous Timer/Counter2 if
the AS2 bit in ASSR is set.

PORT C (PC5..PC0)
Port C is a 7-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors
(selected for each bit). The Port C output buffers have symmetrical drive
characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port C
pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors

are activated. The Port C pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes
active, even if the clock is not running.

PC6/RESET
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is programmed, PC6 is used as an I/O pin.
Note that the electrical characteristics of PC6 differ from those of the other
pins of Port C.
If the RSTDISBL Fuse is un programmed, PC6 is used as a Reset
input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will
generate a Reset, even if the clock is not running.

Port D (PD7..PD0)
Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors
(selected for each bit). The Port D output buffers have symmetrical drive
characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port D
pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors
are activated. The Port D pins are tri-stated when a reset condition becomes
active, even if the clock is not running.

RESET
Reset input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum
pulse length will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running.

AVCC
AVCC is the supply voltage pin for the A/D Converter, Port C (3..0),
and ADC (7..6). It should be externally connected to VCC, even if the ADC
is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to VCC through a
low-pass filter. Note that Port C (5..4) use digital supply voltage, VCC.

AREF
AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter.

ADC7..6 (TQFP and MLF Package Only)

In the TQFP and MLF package, ADC7..6 serve as analog inputs to the
A/D converter.
These pins are powered from the analog supply and serve as 10-bit
ADC channels.

2.4 AVR CPU CORE:(ARCHITECTURE)

2.4.1 Introduction:

This section discusses the AVR core architecture in general. The main
function of the CPU core is to ensure correct program execution. The CPU
must therefore be able to access memories, perform calculations, control
peripherals, and handle interrupts.

2.4.2 Architectural Overview:

Fig.2.6 ARCHITECTURE OF AVR MICROCONTROLLER

Copyright © [email protected] 23
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
 In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR uses
Harvard architecture with separate memories and buses for program and
data. Instructions in the Program memory are executed with a single level
pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is
pre-fetched from the Program memory. This concept enables instructions to
be executed in every clock cycle. The Program memory is In-System
Reprogrammable Flash memory.

The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose

working registers with a single clock cycle access time. This allows single-
cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) Operation. In a typical ALU operation,
two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,
and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.

Program Flash memory space is divided in two sections, the Boot

program section and the Application program section. Both sections have
dedicated Lock Bits for write and read/write protection. The SPM instruction
that writes into the Application Flash memory section must reside in the
Boot program section.

2.4.3 Arithmetic Logic Unit –ALU:

The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with

all the 32 general-purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle,
arithmetic operations between general-purpose registers or between a
register and an immediate are executed. The ALU operations are divided
into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit-functions.
Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier
supporting both signed/unsigned multiplication and fractional format. See
the ―InstructionSet‖ section for a detailed description.

2.4.4 Status Register:

The Status Register contains information about the result of the most
recently executed arithmetic instruction. This information can be used for
altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. Note that
Copyright © [email protected] 24
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
the Status Register is updated after all ALU Operations, as specified in the
Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using
the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact
code.

The Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an

interrupt routine and restored when returning from an interrupt. This must be
handled by software.
The AVR Status Register – SREG – is defined as show in fig

Fig 2.7 AVR-Status Register

• Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable

• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
• Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N. V
• Bit 3 – V: Two‘s Complement Overflow Flag
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
• Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag

2.4.5 General Purpose Register Schemes:

The Register File is optimized for the AVR Enhanced RISC

instruction set. In order to achieve the required performance and flexibility,
the Register File supports the following input/output schemes:
Copyright © [email protected] 25

 • One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input.
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input.
• Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input.
• One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input.

2.4.6 CPU General Purpose Working Registers:

Copyright © [email protected] 26
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
 Fig 2.8 CPU General Purpose Working Registers

Most of the instructions operating on the Register File have direct

access to all registers, and most of them are single cycle instructions .

As shown in Figure 2.7 each register is also assigned a Data memory

address, mapping them directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data
Space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this
Copyright © [email protected] 27
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the registers, as
the X-, Y-, and Z-pointer Registers can be set to Index any register in the
file.

2.4.7 Stack Pointer:

The Stack is mainly used for storing temporary data, for storing local
variables and for storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine
calls. The Stack Pointer Register always points to the top of the Stack. Note
that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locations to
lower memory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command
decreases the Stack Pointer.

2.4.8 AVR ATmega8 Memories:

This section describes the different memories in TheATmega8. The

AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the Data memory and the
Program Memory space.
In addition, the ATmega8 features an EEPROM Memory for data
storage. All three-memory spaces are linear and regular.

2.4.8.1 In-System Reprogrammable Flash

Program memory:

The ATmega8 contains 8K bytes On-chip In-System

Reprogrammable Flash memory for program storage. Since all AVR
instructions are 16- or 32-bits wide, the Flash is organized as 4K x 16 bits.
For software security, the Flash Program memory space is divided into two
sections, Boot Program section and Application Program section. The Flash
memory has an endurance of at least 10,000 write/erase cycles. The
ATmega8 Program Counter (PC) is 12 bits wide, thus addressing the 4K
Program memory locations

2.4.8.3 EEPROM Data Memory:

The ATmega8 contains 512 bytes of data EEPROM memory. It is

organized as a separate data space, in which single bytes can be read and
written. The EEPROM has an endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase
cycles. The access between the EEPROM and the CPU is described bellow,
specifying the EEPROM Address registers, the EEPROM Data Register, and
the EEPROM Control Register.

the next byte can be written. If the user code contains instructions that write
the EEPROM, some precautions must be taken. In heavily filtered power
supplies, VCC is likely to rise or fall slowly on Power up/down. This causes
the device for some period of time to run at a voltage lower than specified as
minimum for the clock frequency used. In order to prevent unintentional
EEPROM writes, a specific write procedure must be followed.

When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four clock cycles
before the next instruction is executed. When the EEPROM is written, the
CPU is halted for two clock cycles before the next instruction is executed.

2.5 Timer/Counter Oscillator:

For AVR microcontrollers with Timer/Counter Oscillator pins

(TOSC1 and TOSC2), the crystal are connected directly between the pins.
By programming the CKOPT Fuse, the user can enable internal capacitors
on XTAL1 and XTAL2, thereby removing the need for external capacitors.
The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768 kHz watch crystal.
Applying an external clock source to TOSC1 is not recommended.

2.6 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC):

If enabled, the ADC will be enabled in all sleep modes. To save power, the
ADC should be disabled before entering any sleep mode. When the ADC is
turned off and on again, the next conversion will be an extended conversion

2.7Analog Comparator:

When entering idle mode, the Analog Comparator should be disabled if not
used. When entering ADC Noise Reduction mode, the Analog Comparator
should be disabled. In the other sleep modes, the Analog Comparator is
automatically disabled. However, if the Analog Comparator is set up to use
the Internal Voltage Reference as input, the Analog Comparator should be
disabled in all sleep modes. Otherwise, the Internal Voltage Reference will
be enabled, independent of sleep mode.

2.8 System Control and Reset:

Resetting the AVR

During Reset, all I/O Registers are set to their initial values, and the
program starts execution from the Reset Vector.

If the program never enables an interrupt Source, the Interrupt Vectors

are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations. This
is also the case if the Reset Vector is in the Application section while the
Interrupt Vectors are in the boot section or vice versa. The I/O ports of the
AVR are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source goes
active. This does not require any clock source to be running.

After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked,
stretching the internal reset. This allows the power to reach a stable level
before normal operation starts. The user through the CKSEL Fuses defines
the time-out period of the delay counter.

Reset Sources:

Duplicate is strictly prohibited
 The ATmega8 has four sources of Reset:

• Power-on Reset:

The MCU is reset when the supply Voltage is below the Power-on
Reset threshold (VPOT).

• External Reset:

The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for
longer than the minimum pulse length.

• Watchdog Reset:

The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and the
Watchdog is enabled.

• Brown-out Reset:

The MCU is reset when the supply voltage VCC is below the Brown-
out Reset threshold (VBOT) and the Brown-out Detector is enabled.

• Watchdog Timer:

The Watchdog Timer is clocked from a separate On-chip Oscillator,

which runs at 1 MHz. This is the typical value at VCC = 5V. See
characterization data for typical values at other VCC levels. By controlling
the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted.

The WDR – Watchdog Reset – instruction resets the Watchdog Timer.

The Watchdog Timer is also reset when it is disabled and when a Chip
Reset occurs. Eight different clock cycle periods can be selected to
determine the reset period. If the reset period expires without another
Watchdog Reset, the ATmega8 resets and executes from the Reset Vector.
For timing details on the Watchdog Reset, refer to page 39.
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog, a special turn-off
sequence must be followed when the Watchdog is disabled.

3 HARDWARE COMPONENTS:

3.1 TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCER:

3.1.1 PIN DETAILS AND PACKAGE:

Fig 3.0 (TO-52 used In Our project)

3.1.2 FEATURES

o Linear current output: 1 µA/K

o Wide temperature range: -55°C to +150°C
o Probe compatible ceramic sensor package
Copyright © [email protected] 36
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
 o 2-terminal device: voltage in/current out
o Laser trimmed to ±0.5°C calibration accuracy (AD590M)
o Excellent linearity: ±0.3°C over full range (AD590M)
o Wide power supply range: 4 V to 30 V
o Sensor isolation from case
o Low cost

3.1.3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The AD590 is a 2-terminal integrated circuit temperature transducer

that produces an output current proportional to Absolute temperature. For
supply voltages between 4 V and 30 V the device acts as a high-impedance,
constant current regulator passing 1 µA/K. Laser trimming of the chip‘s
thin-film resistors is used to calibrate the device to 298.2 µA output at 298.2
K (25°C).

The AD590 should be used in any temperature sensing application

below 150°C in which conventional electrical temperature sensors are
currently employed. The inherent low cost of a monolithic integrated circuit
combined with the elimination of support circuitry makes the AD590 an
attractive alternative for many temperature measurement situations.

Linearization circuitry, precision voltage amplifiers, resistance

measuring circuitry, and cold junction compensation are not needed in
applying the AD590.

3.1.4PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

1. The AD590 is a calibrated, 2-terminal temperature sensor

requiring only a dc voltage supply (4 V to 30 V). Costly transmitters, filters,
lead wire compensation, and Linearization circuits are all unnecessary in
applying the device.

Copyright © [email protected] 37
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
2. State-of-the-art laser trimming at the wafer level in conjunction with
extensive final testing ensures that AD590 units are easily interchangeable.

3. Superior interface rejection occurs, because the output is a

current rather than a voltage. In addition, power requirements are low (1.5
mWs @ 5 V @ 25°C). These features make the AD590 easy to apply as a
remote sensor.

4. The high output impedance (>10 M.) provides excellent

Rejections of supply voltage drift and ripple. For instance, changing the
power supply from 5 V to 10 V results in only a 1 µA maximum current
change, or 1°C equivalent error.

5. The AD590 is electrically durable: it withstands a forward Voltage of up

to 44 V and a reverse voltage of 20V.Therefore, supply irregularities or pin
reversal do not damage the device.

3.1.6 CALIBERATION AND ERRORS:

Copyright © [email protected] 39
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
 Fig 3.2 Calibration and Errors

The calibration error is a primary contributor to maximum total error

in all AD590 grades. However, since it is a scale factor error, it is
particularly easy to trim. Figure 3.2 shows the most elementary way of
accomplishing this.

Copyright © [email protected] 40
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
 To trim this circuit, the temperature of the AD590 is measured by a
reference temperature sensor and R is trimmed so that VT = 1 mV/K at that
temperature. Note that when this error is trimmed out at one temperature, its
effect is zero over the entire temperature range. In most applications there is
a current-to-voltage conversion resistor (or, as with a current input ADC, a
reference) that can be trimmed for scale factor adjustment.

The AD590 uses a fundamental property of the silicon transistors

from which it is made to realize its temperature proportional characteristic: if
two identical transistors are operated at a constant ratio of collector current
densities, r, then the difference in their base-emitter voltage will be (kT/q)
(In r).

Since both k (Boltzman‘s constant) and q (the charge of an Electron) are

constant, the resulting voltage is directly proportional to absolute
temperature (PTAT).

3.4 PHOTO DIODE (TIL 81):

Copyright © [email protected] 46
Duplicate is strictly prohibited
By generating charge carriers in response to photons, semiconductor
structures yield robust, highly linear solid-state photo detectors for a variety
of applications.

The purpose of any photo detector is to convert electromagnetic radiation

into an electronic signal—ideally one that is proportional to incident light
intensity. Because they are compact, versatile, and can be produced
economically in high volume, p-i-n photodiodes have become the detector of
choice in applications from biomedical instrumentation to
telecommunications.

Semiconductor materials absorb light over a characteristic wavelength

range, for example: 250 nm to 1100 nm for silicon, and 800 nm to 2.0 µm
for GaAs. When a photon of light is absorbed, it excites an electron and
produces a single pair of charge carriers—an electron and a hole, where a
hole is simply the absence of an electron in the semiconductor lattice.
Current passes through a semiconductor when the charge carriers separate
and move in opposite directions. The trick in a photodiode is to collect the
photon-induced charge carriers as current or voltage at the electrodes, before
they have a chance to recombine. This is achieved using a pn or p-i-n diode
junction structure—hence the term p-i-n photodiode.

An n-type semiconductor material is doped to produce an excess of

electrons, whereas a p-type material has an excess of holes, or an electron
deficiency. At the pn junction, this disparity creates a concentration gradient
that causes electrons to diffuse into the p-layer and holes to diffuse into the
n-layer. This diffusion results in an opposing electrical potential, often
referred to as an internal bias (see figure 1). In a region spanning both sides
of the junction, this electrical force causes any charge carriers to be rapidly
swept to the appropriate layer. Because charge carriers cannot reside in this
region, it is termed the depletion region.

The above fig.4.3 shows the temperature sensing part consists of AD

590 which is a metal package transducer (also available in SOIC and flat
pack) and a voltage-dropping resister. The voltage drop across the resister
gives the proportional voltage in terms of temperature increase or decrease.
The output current from the ad 590 is independent of the resister connected
in series, because it is constant current drive unit proportional to the
temperature raise. The output is directly connected to the ADC channel
present in the micro controller through a series protection resister of 10
ohms.
The sensor output adjusted to sense the flame by varying the series
resister and change of voltage is achieved to meet the required variation
which we can distinguish the fire and normal light rays.

5.3 OPERATION:

 The explanation are given with reference to the block

diagram and flow chart fig.5.1 and fig 5.2

 First the robot stands on its own idle condition and keeps
monitor every‗t‘ sec, if the sensor recognizes any fire. The
sensor is fixed at the top of the robot on a mechanism,
which rotates all around 180 degrees.

 If there no such signal, the sequence of checking the fire in

all directions is carried out periodically.

 Once the sensors detect the fire, the robot automatically

turns its direction towards the fire.

 This is done with the help of the built in 10bit resolution

ADC present in the controller, getting the proportional
output from the sensors. The successive approximation
technique used to convert the analog signal to digital one
internally with minimized errors, the sensor detects the
maximum value direction and the robot align for the
direction of fire by comparing the previous maximum
value detected while sensing.

 We are using two ADC out of eight in the controller which

is selected by software giving multiplexed signal to the
multiplexer.

 Then it starts moving towards the fire at every frequent

distance the robot stop and verifies the direction, by once

 again detecting the direction of fire and moves towards the
aim.

 Once it goes nearer the temperature sensor gives the

output that is greater than the set value immediately robot
stops and extinguish the fire.

 After extinguish the fire the alarm continues till the reset
provided to the controller.

 The robot is equipped with Nickel cadmium re chargeable

battery; through the terminal it can be charged using a
7.5V/500mA battery charger.

6.1 THE ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE AND ASSEMLER:

(LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE)

An assembler is a translator machine. Computer programs, written

using a definite set of rules (the syntax), are put into the assembler and hex
code pops out and the source program is stored with the extension. Asm
normally and machine code with .hex and .bin. The physical structure of the
program is too large and not easy to understand, but the memory occupied
by the system is comparatively compact with others. The programming is
done with the mnemonics provided product information.

6.2 THE ‘C’ LANGUAGE AND EMBEDDED SYSTEM:

The ‗C‘ language has become the standard high level language for
micro controller based applications. Just as the PC is the standard for
personal computing, the AVR are the advanced one for 8- bit micro
controller and the concept of a ‗C‘ Compiler for a controller executing on a
PC is now familiar. Due to numerous improvements the Raisonance RC
compiler version 3student version (generally it is called as Ride RC) is one
of the most efficient compilers based on usual benchmarks results.

These improvements concern:

· Code factorization (common sub-expressions) has been
made more efficient.
· Registers usage has been highly optimized.
· All libraries have been re-examined and optimized.

. We are using on board programming, to flash the micro

Controller. A 6-pin connector is provided for this purpose in
the printed circuit board (PCB).

The outstanding feature of the simulator is the ability of the user to

construct the screens that shows various parts of the micro controller. Each
screen is made up of separate a window that displays internal CPU registers
and code and Data memory areas. The screen set can be saved as a disk file
and used for one type of problem; another screen can be configured for a
different type of problem and loaded when needed.

 Conclusion

Rapidly evolving associate system technologies are changing the

concepts for planning and executing operations for autonomous robotic
vehicles in fire fighting operations. To be effective, the robotic vehicle must
be capable of accurately assessing the environment and reacting to it‘s ever
changing demands. Associate systems technology can provide these
capabilities through top-level functions of Assessment, Planning and Acting
and lower level functions including:

• System Status
• Situation Assessment
• Dynamic Planning
• Information Management
• User Interface
• System Interface

Associate system technologies are now mature and ready for implementation
in the command and control architectures for autonomous fire fighting
operations.

Thus we complete our project satisfactorily with all the components

available in commercial. We have finished our project with the time
available and all welcome your suggestions and comments to do
improvements in this project. We will take your kind suggestions and
comments in the right way to improve our project.
