This strange but potentially useful robot from Japanese researchers could snake into the windows of burning buildings, blasting everything around it with the powerful jets of water it uses to maneuver itself. A robotic water hose that can be used to fight fires has been developed in Tokyo . Researchers at Tohoku University and Tohoku University 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. Designed for use in tackling fires, it was also demonstrated at IEEE Spectrum in Japan .
