Abstract
The design and implementation of a low cost, scalable autonomous vehicle that detects, approaches, and extinguishes a heat source while avoiding obstacles in its path is presented. This design was implemented by using a low- complexity, deterministic algorithm. The algorithm, in addition to being scalable, has minimal hardware requirements. The completed robot is a proof of concept prototype, to demonstrate the reliability of using this algorithm in autonomous robots for combating a variety of fires.
