emergency response

Problem statement. Firefighting is an inherently dangerous profession that exposes human first responders to extreme hazards, including intense heat, toxic gases, and structural collapse, particularly in complex industrial, urban, and wildland-urban interface environments. The physical and physiological vulnerabilities of firefighters present a fundamental limitation to conventional response methods, creating an urgent need for technological solutions that can mitigate life-threatening risks while enhancing operational effectiveness. Purpose.

Problem statement. Conventional firefighting methods expose personnel to significant risks, particularly in hazardous environments. Robotic systems, specifically manipulators for controlling fire monitors, offer a safer and more efficient alternative by enabling precise delivery of extinguishing agents. However, their effective deployment necessitates a thorough understanding of their kinematic capabilities and limitations. Purpose.
