Move over, Transformers – Shandong’s fire department just leveled up with two high-tech robot dogs! These 70kg mechanical heroes, deployed in Qingdao, are designed to tackle dangerous rescue missions with serious tech muscle. 🌟
Equipped with laser scanners, gas sensors, and thermal imaging cameras, these robo-pups can sniff out hazards, pierce through smoke to find heat sources, and stream real-time footage to crews. Plus, they’ve got marathon stamina: 3.6 hours of operation and a 15km range. Imagine them as Boston Dynamics meets Rescue Bots – but 100% real. 🔦📡
Firefighters say the bots will help reduce risks during emergencies like chemical leaks or building collapses. “They’re like our eyes and ears in places too dangerous for humans,” a brigade member shared. Looks like the future of firefighting just got a major glow-up! 💡👩🚒
