It’s a radio controlled robot with an Arduino Uno for the brains. A couple of motor driver boards are used to run four windscreen wiper motors for propulsion.

An Arduino-based robot for people who don’t know how to build robots "Sparki" ideal for teaching kids (or adults) how to program robots.

Fighting fire with robots may take jobs away from humans, but it can also save lives. [Mell Bell Electronics] has built a (supervised) kid-friendly version of a firefighting robot that extinguishes… ...

Do you have a favorite Raspberry Pi or Arduino-powered robot? Choices abound; the inexpensive microcontrollers hastening the Internet of Things blitz have served as the brains of thousands of ...

London-based roboticist Evangelos Georgiou wants to offer an open-source platform for helping Arduino hobbyists take their projects mobile, thanks to a remote controlled robot called the RK-1 that ...

Japanese researchers developed a robot made of a hose that can spray water. The 'snake robot' can crawl through windows or other gaps in a structure.

A fire truck costs something in the region of $800,000. If a fire department wanted to buy a Bulldog and two robots, a Thermite and a Guardian, say, it would cost about $400,000.

The firefighting robot is the brainchild of four students of the electrical department and the prototype covers design and construction of a robot that is able to sense and extinguish fire.

Once you add some basic electronics, an Arduino brain will command the robot to roll over the floor, sticking to dark surfaces, based on the amount of reflected light it detects.
