Chinese researchers have cracked the code for high-tech tunnel rescues! 🚀 The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) just debuted an unmanned emergency system designed to navigate tunnels without satellite signals and deliver life-saving gear faster than ever. Think: self-driving robots with fire-extinguishing grenades. 🔥🤯
Why does this matter? Tunnels are rescue nightmares—GPS fails, spaces get tight, and fires spread quickly. CASIC’s system uses radar obstacle detection, autonomous navigation, and AI to pinpoint fires and trapped individuals. It’s like a real-life superhero bot! 💪
Tests show the tech can dodge obstacles, launch fire suppressants, and operate in ultra-low altitudes. Next stop? Expanding to highway fires and other emergencies. 🛣️✨
