Fire fighters in the world

Scientists around the world designed and tested a variety of robots equipped with sensor systems, modern cameras, fire fighting aids and firefighters.

Thermite robot is a research product of Howe and Howe technology company in America.It can pump 2,000 liters of water per minute or provide the same amount of water as other firefighting vehicles.Dual roller rim design allows robots to enter areas with difficult to move and dangerous terrain, getting closer to the fire.It cannot replace people, but can help firefighters be safer when on duty.Thermite is remotely controlled from a distance of 400m.(Photo: technabob.com)

The Octavia can pass through fires, perform instructions in sign language from a commander and extinguish the fire with air or water pipes.American robots are equipped with infrared cameras, can understand the sign language or voice commands, is a device that accompanies humans when fighting.(Photo: Wired)

This robot, called ASH, is funded by research and manufacturing by the US Naval Research Center.ASH can follow stairs, approach narrow paths and respond to human actions.It is also specially designed to operate on warships.Infrared camera system improves visibility for robots in places where thick dust and smoke cover is present.(Photo: Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory / Virginia Tech)

Based on the version of ASH, US scientists continue to build SAFFiR robots for detecting and extinguishing fire on ships. SAFFiR is about the size of a human, can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius and "stand side by side" with firefighters in dangerous missions.(Photo: Naval Research Laboratory)

QinetiQ, the UK defense technology company, designed four types of robots for the purpose of extinguishing fires involving industrial acetylene gas.These fires are a threat to firefighters, because the danger still lurks even after they extinguish the fire.Not only is it dangerous, these fires also cause the entire area to be blocked within 24 hours.

With the help of robots, the whole process only lasts less than three hours.QinetiQ's designs have proven effective in testing operations.(Photo: Qinetiq)

Robot fire trucks were deployed in Hebei Province, China, in 2007, performing tasks in chemical plants or warehouses that are hazardous to humans. It is remote controlled, traveling at 3.6km / h, climbing 30 degrees and crossing 25cm high barriers. The advantage of this medium is the ability of a 65m remote nozzle, which can "cool" itself when the temperature is too high.The detector detects the victim's signal, while the camera will record images and sounds in the area where the fire is located.(Photo: china.org.cn)

Equipped with camera system and sensors, Guardrobo D1 "patrol" along the pre-programmed path and detect danger signs.This 109 cm high robot will warn people via radio or send pictures of the risk of fire, leakage or intruder.This is a study of Japanese experts.(Photo: hackedgadgets.com)
