Called 'Scrum Force' , the system has a total value of up to 1.38 billion yen including 4 robots with different tasks, in which ' Sky eye ' has the task of monitoring and monitoring the air, ' Land eye ' monitors the ground, ' Tough reeler ' deploys pipes, fire hoses, and ' Water canon ' is responsible for spraying fire water.

Scrum Force was researched by the Bureau of Fire, Fire and Disaster Prevention (FDMA) of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications after a series of fires occurred at the petrochemical complexes in Ichihara in March. 2011 in catastrophic earthquake disaster in Northeast Japan. At that time, firefighters were unable to reach fires due to high temperatures.

As expected, FDMA will deploy similar fire-fighting robot systems to industrial parks across the country.
