A ‘soft’ robot dropped from a drone to the ground will be especially helpful to first responders, police, firefighters or special security forces who come to our aid first in times of danger.

The robot, named Squishy, ​​is being used by U.S. firefighters to alert them to “situational awareness” before entering a dangerous situation. VOA correspondent Michelle Quinn reports that it looks like a toy that bounces. It is called squishy and was originally created to collect information on Mars or the moon and send it back to Earth. Squash firefighters, police officers or army officers are now being used to detect hazards in Kustal before reaching the scene.

“I felt that if it could work on the moon or Mars, I could work on our planet Earth,” said Alice Agogino, chief executive of Squishy Robotics. Squishy children’s toys were inspired by squish. It is a so-called “soft robot” that can reshape itself in the face of any unforeseen circumstances in real life and move easily from one place to another. “This robot can travel through many rocks and is capable of climbing many heights,” said Alice Agozino, CEO of Squishy Robotics.

Even after falling from a height of a thousand feet and hitting the ground, the squishy wraps itself in such a way that the part in its central part where the cameras and sensors are placed, is not damaged in any way. These cameras and sensors can detect the presence of any gases or chemicals and the potential fire hazards from them, and warn the first responders of the potential risks, using a squishy remote control to detect these situations.

Alice Agogino, CEO of Squishy Robotics, added: “We will create a temperature map so you can see where a chemical gas has a higher concentration, which means its presence is higher, and it tells you where the source is coming from. He will tell you too. ”

It is a soft robot, which transmits all the information in the face of difficult situations and makes us aware of the potential risks.
