Title: Third year Design project.
Post by: Mat Bridges on November 19, 2003, 03:25:49 PM

For one of my third year design projects ive decided to go "blue sky" (blue sky meaning- looking to the future) and design a un-manned reconnaissance drone that would be sent into a house/building/warehouse fire and asses the situation, and contents etc before anyone is sent into the building.

It would be extremely usefull to me to have your opinions on such a device and whether you think it would be a benefit to the fire service in the distant future.

Many thanks,

Matthew Bridges

Look to Japan for ideas - they already use robots & drones as part of fire & rescue operations
