Field working and Fire extinguishing performance of an Indoor Fire-fighting Robot

실내화재진압로봇의 현장운용 및 소화성능평가

Fire-fighters are struggling against heat and dense smoke by fire when it occurs at the basement or the inner place of a building. An indoor fire-fighting robot with well heat-resistance, great searching cameras and good extinguishing ability has been developed. It never suffocate, coming into the fire district and extinguishes fire directly. In this study, several experiment was conducted to evaluate field working ability of the fire-fighting robot. As a result, a series of passing obstacles, finding fire place and fire suppression by the remote controlling with image information appeared satisfactory.
