That’s where this new Unmanned Firefighting Robot comes in.
The firefighting robot uses a self-spraying system that continuously cools it with water, keeping its external temperature between 122 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit even when operating in environments exceeding 1,000 degrees.
Two fire stations are currently testing the firefighting robot.
