Fire-quenching modular robodog pads into danger zones | The robodog hauls a powerful water cannon high-flow and can operate in extreme environments.
Unitree has launched a modified version of its B2 quadruped aimed at putting out fires. Able to host various use-specific modules, the robodog hauls a powerful water cannon high-flow and can operate in extreme environments.
Such is the case with the fire rescue bots from Unitree, which can be equipped with surveillance modules to provide live video feeds to remote firefighters, allowing them to assess a situation before going in. Other modules mounted to its back can include a robot arm, LiDAR sensors, comms equipment and a water cannon with a range of up to 60 m (nearly 200 ft) and a high flow rate of 40 liters per second. A number of drills and demos have already taken place to prove the robodog's fire-fighting mettle, and a pair recently joined the Qingdao Firefighting and Rescue Support Team in an official capacity.
