Expanding Drone Usage for Fire Fighting Services
Published on Sep 9, 2014
The RMIT UAS Research team is currently collaborating with the MFB (Metropolitan Fire and Emergency Services Board) on gas sensing onboard their multi-rotors.
This research was made possible, in part, through support from the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

Firefighting Robot Project - "The Homebot"
Final Project for the Unified Robotics II course at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. This robot is fully capable to navigate in a maze, autonomously find its path and align itself to fire simulating candle and extinguish it using the portable fan.
3D Thermal RGB Mapping for Firefighting Robot Applications
Published on Jun 1, 2013
This project integrates infrared and RGB imagery to produce dense 3D environment models reconstructed form multiple views. The resulting 3D map contains both thermal and RGB information which can be used in robotic fire-fighting applications to identify victims and active fire areas.

Fireproof Aerial RObot System (FAROS)
Published on Jan 3, 2016
This video demonstrates the FAROS (Fireproof Aerial RObot System) for fire disaster.
The drone can climb the wall to pass through narrow and smoky area. It has a 2D-LiDAR sensor for self-localization. Its pose estimation result is visualized on V-REP simulator.
The drone also has fire-proof function as shown on the video. It can endure fire over 1,000 C.
This research was supported by KIDS (KAIST Institute for Disaster Studies).
In emergencies, should you trust a robot?
Published on Feb 29, 2016
In emergencies, people may trust robots too much for their own safety, a new study suggests. In a mock building fire, test subjects followed instructions from an “Emergency Guide Robot” even after the machine had proven itself unreliable – and after some participants were told that robot had broken down.
