The fire and rescue brigade in Qingdao, Shandong Province, has introduced two state-of-the-art quadrupedal robots, affectionately known as \"robot dogs.\" Each robot weighs approximately 70 kilograms and is equipped to cover distances exceeding 15 kilometers with an operational time of up to 3.6 hours.
These advanced robots are outfitted with laser scanning technology, gas sensors, and a dual-light gimbal, enabling them to deliver real-time footage and detect hazardous gases. Their ability to locate heat sources through smoke significantly enhances the effectiveness of search and rescue missions. Additionally, the robots support remote monitoring, allowing firefighters to manage operations more safely and efficiently.
The deployment of robot dogs represents a significant advancement in firefighting technology, offering valuable support to human firefighters and improving overall response capabilities. By integrating these robotic assistants, the Qingdao fire department aims to ensure greater safety and success in emergency situations.
