Chinese robot dogs take on fires and toxic leaks to keep rescuers out of danger

SMRTR summary

Chinese startup DEEP Robotics is deploying robot dogs into fires, chemical leaks, and collapsed structures so human responders don't have to enter dangerous areas first. Its X30 robot maps interiors, detects toxic gases, and can even spray water or foam up to 60 meters away. A companion wheeled-legged robot adds speed on flat terrain, and both connect to a cloud-based command system for real-time data sharing.
