US Navy's firefighting robot finally appears

10 Feb 2015 • engadget.com

Despite performing well during the demo last year, that doesn’t mean SAFFiR’s ready to be deployed. It still needs to be tethered to stay upright in its current state, and it’s just much too slow to be a first responder. Plus, the current model is not water- and fire-proof, which sounds like a recipe for disaster since it’s firefighting robot on a ship.

LOL. Does sound like a challenge.
