Colossus: heavy-duty firefighting excellence

The Colossus heavy firefighting robot, developed in collaboration with the Paris Fire Brigade (BSPP), is engineered to redefine firefighting capabilities in extreme environments. This robust robot excels in critical missions such as fire suppression, casualty evacuation, and equipment transport. Notably, during the fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, Colossus showcased its extraordinary resilience and effectiveness, operating under extreme heat conditions for over 10 hours, significantly aiding firefighters in protecting the iconic structure. For more information on how Colossus integrates with our Firefighting Robot application.

Effortless deployment and versatility

Designed for rapid deployment, Colossus can be operational within seconds. Its intuitive control system, integrated with advanced AI, ensures ease of use even in high-pressure situations. The robot is equipped with 10 interchangeable mission modules, allowing teams to adapt quickly to varying operational needs - whether it’s extinguishing fires, conducting reconnaissance, or transporting heavy loads. With a remarkable 800 kg payload capacity, Colossus is built to handle demanding tasks with efficiency. Learn more about its capabilities alongside our other products, like the Rhyno Protect, to enhance your firefighting strategy.

Enhanced durability for extreme conditions

Colossus thrives in the harshest environments. Its specialized tracks enable it to navigate through urban debris, rugged landscapes, and steep inclines (up to 45°) with remarkable stability. Thanks to its six Shark Energy 27Ah batteries, Colossus boasts an impressive 12 hours of operational autonomy, minimizing downtime during critical missions. Equipped with high-definition cameras and sensors, it delivers real-time data, enhancing situational awareness for firefighters. Explore how Colossus complements the Firefighting Robot application for improved mission planning and execution.
