Navigate
Map the space and move through the environment under controlled autonomy.
Open-source fire-response robotics
FE-B1
A buildable ROS 2 and ESP32 robot platform for detecting, navigating toward, and suppressing small fires before they spread.
The first 60 seconds matter
Built for early fire response research.
FE-B1 starts with one practical idea: detect the threat early, move toward it safely, and apply suppression while the fire is still small.
ROS 2
Autonomy, mapping, navigation, and fire targeting.
ESP32
Motion, telemetry, watchdogs, controls, and OTA updates.
Detect
Watch for heat, smoke, flame, camera input, and range data.
Report
Send telemetry, status, location, and threat data back to operators.
Suppress
Trigger extinguisher outputs under explicit safety controls.
Help shape the rebuild
A serious platform for curious builders.
The project needs people across code, hardware, documentation, controlled testing, safety review, education, and outreach. Join early and help decide what gets built first.
