A robotic water hose that can be used to fight fires has been developed in Japan. Researchers at Tohoku University and Hachinohe College have developed the DragonFireFighter, which was unveiled at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation. It supports itself and manoeuvres around using directional jets of water spraying from multiple nozzles at the neck of the hose. Essentially your hose is acting as a simple jet: the force of the water being blasted out pushes the hose itself in the opposite direction. The robot is able to spray a stream of water up to 20 metres per second into an area where it detects fire.
