Last post before the big jump in no-web land.

A nifty unmanned rescue robot that enters in places where the fire fighter cannot penetrate in order to rescue people.

“Soylent Green is made of People!”
I know they say this is a rescue robot but it looks more like a mashup of Soylent Green and the Matrix.

Very cool image. Love anything to do with robotics. And I think rescue robots are a fantastic application.
Have fun on your trip Regine!

It does look rather scary. I hope they’ve fitted a speaker playing a calming voice to reassure people.
