Update 06/06/13: Our firefighting robot has been getting quite a big of media attending inwards the past times few days, including:

Researchers inwards the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab get got developed novel ikon processing techniques for rapid exploration in addition to characterization of structural fires past times small-scale Segway-like robotic vehicles.

Researchers inwards the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab get got developed novel ikon processing techniques for rapid exploration in addition to characterization of structural fires past times small-scale Segway-like robotic vehicles.
The robot's system takes the thermal data taken past times the vehicle's small-scale infrared photographic tv set camera in addition to maps it onto a 3D scene constructed from the images taken by the vehicle's pair of stereo RGB cameras.
This allows small-scale mobile robotic vehicles to practise an temperature-painted virtual reality that tin privy hold upwards used at i time past times get-go responders every bit the robot drives through a potentially smoky edifice amongst hot spots in addition to people distributed inside it.
This novel engineering is described inwards the video below -- hold off inwards item for the signature of the fingerprints inwards the lower-right corner at 1:21, also every bit the explosive ending.
