Shanghai security bureau unveils new life-saving equipment
If the buoys travel beyond the transmission range of 1 kilometer, they will automatically return to their original location.
The water rescue robot is an upgraded version of the intelligent life buoy. It can travel at a higher speed of 38 km per hour and be controlled across a range of 4 km.
The robot can carry four adults at the same time. People in the water can grab the ropes located on the sides of the robot or lie on it as they await rescue.
A GPS system and camera are installed in the front of the robot, providing rescuers with real time footage.
Yan Yong, leader of the water patrol detachment, said that the new equipment will come into service along the Huangpu River, Shanghai. He added that more life-saving equipment for water rescue are currently under research and development.
