All subcomponents and the full assembly model were created using computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Electronic hardware-including RGB and thermal cameras, Raspberry Pi, and motor drivers-was selected, and corresponding mounting parts were designed to integrate the components into the structure. Finite element analyses (FEA) were performed to evaluate structural strength and stability. Topology optimization was applied to reduce the overall weight and energy consumption of the system. A specialized power analysis tool was developed to compare the energy usage of the non-optimized and optimized designs. The FEA and power analysis results confirmed that the optimized structure achieved a 25% weight reduction and an 11% decrease in energy consumption, demonstrating improved efficiency in the mobile fire detection robot.}, number={5}, publisher={Karyay Karadeniz Yayımcılık Ve Organizasyon Ticaret Limited Şirketi}
