In addition to firefighting, What other uses do firefighting robots have?

In addition to performing firefighting tasks, firefighting robots have many other uses, including but not limited to the following:

Reconnaissance and environmental detection: Firefighting robots can enter dangerous environments for reconnaissance, and use the cameras and sensors on board to collect on-site information, including temperature, toxic gas concentration, etc., to provide data support for rescue decisions.

Rescue and life search: They can search for trapped people at the fire scene, use infrared detection and other technologies to find signs of life, and may be equipped with equipment such as robotic arms for rescue operations.

Smoke exhaust and dust reduction: At the fire scene, robots can be used to disperse smoke and dust, reduce the temperature of the fire scene, and reduce the harm to rescuers and trapped people.

Dangerous goods handling: In situations where there is a leak of harmful chemicals or other dangerous goods, robots can replace people to carry or handle these items, reducing the risk of people being exposed to danger.

Drills and training: Firefighting robots can also be used in fire drills to help improve the response capabilities and operational proficiency of firefighting teams.

Special environment operations: robots can perform tasks in these complex and dangerous environments, such as reconnaissance, fire fighting or search in special places such as tunnels, underground buildings, and petrochemical plants.

Communication relay: In some areas where communication signals cannot be covered, firefighting robots can also serve as communication relay stations to ensure smooth communication between the site and the command center.

Assisted inspection: After a disaster such as a fire occurs, robots can help conduct on-site inspections, collect evidence, and analyze the cause of the accident.
