Abstract The purpose of this project is to implement an algorithm coupled with a probabilistic model to predict how forest fires will spread. Additionally, it will detect and simulate the forest fires themselves within their early stages, using an autonomous robot equipped with multiple sensors that will collect data pertaining to natural factors that can contribute to wildfires.
