Hyderabad’s newest firefighter is a robot, can battle the hottest blaze

Hyderabad’s newest firefighter is a daredevil who needs no helmet, boots or even a water break; all steel, sensors and tech-driven, a cutting-edge robot firefighter that will march into an inferno a human couldn’t go near.

Developed by France-based Shark Robotics and brought to town by



Mumbai-based Shree Lalitha, this robot firefighter is built for the heat, literally.

This water beast can power through temperatures up to 900 degrees Celcius, navigate unstable structures, and get dangerously close to explosions, all while being controlled remotely. And yes, it is thermal vision equipped.
