Japanese scientists have developed firefighting robot, originally named "Dragon Firefighter," which will be called upon to join a team of firefighters to extinguish too large fires that are dangerous to people. Details of the Dragon Firefighter were published in a study in the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI, reports UNN.
Details
The development of the "Dragon Firefighter" combines elements of fantasy and science fiction - the robot is designed to extinguishing fires from a height.
It is planned that the flying dragon will use a unique mechanism that controls water jets to effectively extinguish fires. jets to effectively extinguish fires.
The video shared by the researchers shared by the researchers shows how a fire dragon works.

It is interesting that the project is published in the public domain, so roboticists from all over the world can freely use it to create their own Dragon Firefighters.
AddendumAddendum
According to the developers, the full implementation of the firefighter robot in practice may take up to 10 years. During this time, it is planned to improve the technology and find optimal solutions for extinguishing fires.
