Far better risk robots than humans.
Quote:
Fire-fighting robots designed to withstand intense heat are to be tested by the US Navy this summer.
The Shipboard Autonomous Fire-fighting Robot (SAFFiR) has been built by engineers at Virginia Tech and other US universities.
The robots are expected to perform a variety of tasks - balancing, turning valves, picking up and dragging a fire hose and jetting water on the fire.
They also have a vision system to search for survivors.
