Autonomous machines can operate faster and more efficiently while keeping people away from the hard, dirty and dangerous jobs. Designed by Aydin Mert, the Autonomous Fire Guard comes equipped with laser scanners, IR cameras and radar to cut through the smoke during fire. The robot is a perfect assistant for firefighters. Sadly, there is no further info on when it will go into mass production. [Yanko] [...] [...] Wildfire fighting is one of the most physically challenging task that human being faces today.

Must produce this. Ideal for Urban environments. Must demo for NFS, NPS alone & US Dept Interior. 2 bad CA State cant afford this system. Id add robotic claw & chain saw arm for cutting debris & trees. Or have triple saw module to cut trees in 3 diff ways away from Fireline etc. & or erect barriers for flooding. & have Flame thrower to start backfires to cut Big fire. Must be Air Portable for use. Test site: Lake Arrowhead CA area. Need this in CA State Big time.

Briefly, this machine is not meant to be used in the first attack where you need hell amount water. Instead it is designed to be used in the last phase of the operation where you don't need that so much water. It is all about going through the fire area and check every single hot spot that could bring the fire back again. It is a really important task to be done precisely. This unit can carry 500 lt water on its back and this is enough for ~12 hours non-stop working. Cheers mate..! Hi Josh,

Even with a 500 gallon tank you would be having to return to refill every 30min or less to atiquitly douse hot spots. The earth mover or tree cutter would be the most benificial How would this extinguish smouldering/burning debries?, The unit dosent look large enough to carry much water or fire retardent.
