Ok, this is pretty cool.
“Scientists in Germany are hard at work on an autonomous, pill-bug-like robot to be used to fight forest fires. It’s got legs like the little insect, and if the going gets too hot, it can retract them into its body. They’ll then be protected by the ceramic casing, which can withstand heat of up to 2,300 degrees. Trucking along at 12 to 19 mph the bugbots could cover wide areas by being able to get close to the heat without getting burned.”
