Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022269310A1] The invention relates to an apparatus for identifying and extinguishing fires. The apparatus includes a locomotion unit for moving the apparatus and a fire extinguishing unit which, when activated, ejects fire extinguishing material. The apparatus includes an actuator for activating the fire extinguishing element and a control unit for controlling the locomotion unit and actuator. The control unit includes a number of sensors, location determination means, and communication means for identifying and extinguishing fires. This allows the apparatus to operate in an autonomous fashion to move towards and extinguish fires. It is envisaged that the apparatus will increase safety of its users and will allow autonomous extinguishment of fires in a reliable and cost-effective manner.
