What is Robot? As strange as it might seem there is no 2. Diagram of IoT based firefighting robot
standard definition for a robot. However, there are some
characteristics and features can be used for counting a device or
a machine as a robot. First of all, a robot has to be aware of what
is happening in its environment, needs to be able to move and
powered by an energy source, if it is necessary a robot has to be
smart enough to satisfy the requirement. Robots can be
categorized according to their intelligence as follow; Manual
robot is a system that can sense and convey the motion, gets
energy from human power. For example, door hinge. When
someone wants to open or close the door, it senses the motion
from one side then conveys to other side and get the energy Fig. 1. IoT based firefighting robot
from human’s arm. Semi-autonomous system is able to do
everything done by a manual robot. 3. Working principle
In addition, it has to complete tasks defined by a human.
Therefore, sensors and control algorithms are employed for this
system’s intelligence. For example, a remote controlled mobile
robot should be able to understand commands and execute the
task. Electrical power, batteries, etc. are used for energy
consumption. The most important thing to counting a system as
autonomous is decision mechanism. An autonomous robot can
do everything done by the others and it makes decision in
dynamic environmental conditions as well. For example, an
UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) is able to sense, consider
and decide. Robots are used in wide variety of fields (Gupta et
al., 2006). Robot manipulator also known as robot arm is used
to perform tasks in industry such as welding, painting,
palletizing etc. due to its power, rigid body, speed and accuracy.
Recently; the usage area of the robots is shifted from the
