The first ever autonomous helicopter-drone hybrid firefighter was announced by a robotics firm at the GITEX Technology firm.
Digi Robotics signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dubai Civil Defense to work on the new technology, which can be a first responder at a fire scene in the future.
A prototype of the technology was on display at the exhibition in Dubai World Trade Centre on Tuesday. There will be three ways to fly this device, either with a pilot, autonomously and by controlling it through a control room.
"The drone-helicopter hybrid has six engines and six propellers. Four of the engines will be turned off during in-flight to save power consumption. There are also several safety features installed, in case a pilot is flying it, for example, the parachute system. It will automatically activate if it is needed," the senior project director at Digi Robotics, Kollina Hanskehian, said.
The drone-helicopter includes:·Six engines·Six propellers ·It's autonomous, but a pilot can fly it too ·It has a parachute system ·It shoots foam to tackle fire ·It's a mix technology of a drone and helicopter ·Its body is made of carbon fibre |
