Academic Project
Fire-Fighting Robot with Surveillance Capability — Final Year Project
Developed an autonomous fire-fighting robot emphasizing real-time data processing and sensor-driven inference. Implemented a flame-detection algorithm using Python (OpenCV, NumPy) with HSV-based feature extraction. Combined multi-sensor inputs (flame, temperature/humidity, ultrasonic distance) into a decision-making model for classification and actuation. Created distributed control logic in C/C++ (Arduino Nano, ESP8266) and integrated IoT-based monitoring through Blynk.
