According to @ai_darpa on Twitter, new AI-powered firefighting robot dogs are being tested in Sichuan, China. These advanced robots are designed for challenging and hazardous environments where human access is limited. Equipped with capabilities such as navigating unsafe areas, transporting hoses, transmitting real-time video, and collecting data on toxic gases and temperature, they can carry up to 200 kg. This demonstrates a significant AI application in emergency response, enhancing operational safety and efficiency for firefighting teams. The adoption of AI-driven robotics in firefighting presents new business opportunities for manufacturers and solution providers focused on public safety and smart city infrastructure (Source: @ai_darpa, Twitter, Dec 5, 2025).
