Some machines can be used to find fires or to extinguish them from afar, but saving the lives of people trapped within a burning building requires a machine that can take a little singeing. A remotely controlled robot being designed and built at the Izmir Institute of Technology in Izmir, Turkey, will ultimately explore a fire zone and look for survivors. To survive inside the fire, the robot uses both passive and active cooling systems that, for a limited time, keep the inner temperature at a safe level for the electronic components inside the device. Figure 1. Shown is a...Read full article
