AI-powered firefighting robots hit a 99.67% success rate in an Australian trial. No humans driving them.
Cyborg Dynamics and Griffith University tested up to five robots coordinating to navigate obstacles and put out fires on their own. These robots already work in Australian mines, but humans still control them. This test proved they can act independently.
Autonomous AI in dangerous environments is where this tech should go first.

Networked, AI-powered, cloud-controlled fire hydrants are a great thing... FOR A DOG TO PEE ON
