This might be one of the best use cases for robots. China is already putting quadruped robots and drones into firefighting operations. The robot dog carries a water cannon while drones provide aerial support, allowing crews to work around dangerous areas without sending firefighters directly into the highest-risk zones. What other dangerous jobs do you think quadruped robots could take on next?
