A superhuman autonomous robotic fireman could soon be helping fire crews to put out fires.
The Shipboard Autonomous Fire-fighting Robot ( SAFFiR ) is a sophisticated humanoid platform developed by the universities of Virginia, California, Los Angeles and Pennsylvania.

Capable of balancing, holding hoses, turning valves and working together with its human counterparts, the remarkable robot can not only enter dangerous locations without risking human lives but can withstand far greater temperatures than any human could.
