The klann mechanism is one of these leg mechanisms which consist of six-links which is used as an alternative for wheels. The previous Published online : robot were wheel based which cannot moves on a rough surface. So we are making 17th April 2018 robot which would be mounted on klann mechanism based vehicle. The vehicle is automatically controlled by using the sensor. The aim of this work is to contribute to the development of automation system and to design fire extinguisher robot. Following paper module contains design of fire fighting robot using Klann’s mechanism. As per design, calculation & by using various sensors. It also describes the working & advantages of klann’s over wheel. Keywords :- klanns mechanism, fire detector, ultrasonic sensor, fire extinguishing. I. INTRODUCTION In fire fighting robot using klann mechanism it has been established that off-road vehicles with legs exhibit Fire Fighting is a very dangerous task which involves better mobility, obtain higher energy efficiency and provide working in a dangerous environment comprising of dense more comfortable movement than those of conventional smoke, oxygen deficient atmosphere and elevated tracked or wheeled vehicles while moving on rough terrain. temperatures. Fire Fighters suffer serious burn injuries, So there is necessity to analyse & develop these leg suffocation, dense smoke obscures their vision and in mechanisms in order to meet various applications. The extreme cases can cause disorientation to the fire-fighters wheels are ineffective on rough and rocky areas, therefore thus trapping them in fire. Hence a need is felt for design robot with legs provided with klann mechanism is beneficial and development of fire fighting robot that will at least for advanced walking vehicles. It can step over curbs, climb assist fire fighters in curbing small fires from spreading stairs or travel areas that are currently not accessible with allowing fire fighters to concentrate on serious fire disaster. wheels. In this mechanism links are connected by pivot The fire-fighter must be able to get to a fire quickly and joints and convert the rotating motion of the crank into safely extinguish the fire, preventing further damage and reciprocating motion to the legs. The klann mechanism is reduce fatalities. Technology has finally bridged the gap one of these leg mechanisms which consist of six-links between fire fighting and machines allowing for a more which is used as an alternative for wheels. efficient and effective method of fire fighting.

LITERATURE REVIEW the physical structure of legged animals, it may be possible to improve the performance of mobile robots.

Review of Design and Fabrication of an Autonomous Fire Fighting Robot with Multisensor Fire Detection Using PID Legged robots can be used for rescue work after Controller studied by Tawfiqur Rakib et.al, [1]. In this paper earthquakes and in hazardous places such as the inside of a they have demonstrated the aim was to develop a system nuclear reactor, giving biologically inspired autonomous that detects and extinguishes the fire before the fire starts legged robots great potential.

In this they have demonstrated has to developed the intelligent fire fighting tank robot. Aluminum are used to make the robot. The tank robot is consisting of components like two servo motors, thermal array sensor, two DC motors, flame detector, ultrasonic sensor, IR and photo transistors, sound activation circuit and micro switch sensor. The goal of paper is search the prescribed area find the fire and extinguish it. The robot is activated by using DTMF transmitter and receiver.

In this they have demonstrated on the wheels are ineffective on rough and rocky areas, therefore robot with legs provided with klann mechanism is beneficial for advanced walking vehicles. It can step over curbs, climb stairs or travel areas that are currently not accessible with wheels. In this mechanism links are connected by pivot joints and convert the rotating motion of the crank into the reciprocating motion to legs. The proportions of each of the links in the mechanism are defined to optimize the linearity of the foot for one-half of the rotation of the crank. The remaining rotation of the crank allows the foot to be raised to a predetermined height before returning to the starting position and repeating the cycle.
