Inside of an underground subway station, two firefighters carry a robot mounted inside of a trapezoid-shaped wireframe toward a blazing fire. There is a subway car to the firefighters’ right, highlighted by the red, yellow, and orange hue of a fire in the background. The robot helps firefighters and other first responders protect their lives and the lives of others by investigating hazardous situations.
Squishy Robotics’ Tensegrity Sensor Robots help first responders determine their approach to a disaster scene. Firefighters used the robots during a subway attack exercise at the 2021 Unmanned Tactical Application Conference to detect gas leaks and other hazards.
