Robots
Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.
