In　view　of　the　many　problems　in　firefighting　robots,　such　as　complicated　flame　positioning,　poor　environmental　adaptability,　and　difficult　installation　and　debugging,　a　new　firefighting　robot　design　is　presented　with　video　full　closed-loop　feedback　to　extinguish　ground　fire　in　this　paper.　The　firefighting　robot　consists　of　a　2-DOF　robot,　a　monocular　camera,　and　a　controller.　The　monocular　camera　installed　on　the　second　link　of　the　robot　is　utilized　to　detect　and　locate　ground　flames.　The　robot　can　dynamically　adjust　the　water　landing　point　to　track　a　flame　in　real-time　through　motion　control,　as　the　camera　is　specifically　designed　with　an　additional　infrared　narrowband　pass　filter　and　a　filter-switching　mechanism.　An　algorithm　of　detecting　and　positioning　for　flame　and　water　landing　point　is　proposed　based　on　image　processing　and　robotic　kinematics.　Experimental　results　show　that　the　firefighting　robot　with　video　full　closed-loop　feedback　can　realize　real-time　flame　detection,　location,　and　sprinkler,　and　can　dynamically　track　fire　location　within　the　monitoring　scope.　The　distance　error　between　fire　and　the　landing　point　of　the　water　jet　can　be　controlled　within　a　narrow　range.　Moreover,　this　firefighting　robot　is　easy　to　install,　debug　and　have　good　environment　adaptability,　and　provides　efficient　and　safe　solutions　for　complicated　firefighting　environment.　At　the　same　time,　due　to　its　small　size　and　convenient　calibration　features,　this　firefighting　robot　is　especially　suitable　for　large　space　environments.　©　2016　WIT　Press.
