Firefighting Robot Prepares To Walk Through Flames

The ultimate Navy Seal may end up being a humanoid robot that can carry heavy equipment, interact with officers and head straight into a face-melting fire without hesitation. 

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory’s Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting Robot, SAFFiR for short, has been in the works for several years as a safety tool for Navy ships.alkyd resin Recently the advanced bot was brought out for a collaborative demonstration with researchers from Virginia Tech and the University of Pennsylvania, according to the lab.

The bot is designed to learn a ship’s layout, move around autonomously below deck and stay upright even when a vessel is pitching and rolling. Built-in sensors allow it to see through smoke. 

Students from the university teams demonstrated complex algorithms that got the robot walking over both manmade and natural terrain, the lab said in a press release. The teams worked on tech to steer the robot to an open flame while avoiding obstacles. They also demoed an artificial muscle that would help it lift equipment, walk with a fire hose and activate a nozzle.

A wild blaze in Houston earlier this week brought us a narrow escape vide and a reminder of how fast fire can spread. The Navy is working on making SAFFiR an agile robot, but it’s going to be hard to beat that death-defying construction worker on timing.However you don't have to fear that your vehicle is akupunktur københavn to shake like a belly dancer if you do use solid tyres.
