Anna Konda, a nice play on words, is the robotic fire fighting design of the Norwegian research company, the Sintef Group. Weighing in at 75 kilos and at a length of 3 meters, this robot possesses 20 joints providing it with a significant degree of dexterity. With this level of flexibility, the hose is able to traverse into narrow spots in an effort to extinguish flames by shooting water out of it’s anterior end.
This unit is water powered with each joint having the ability to withstand pressures of up to 1450 PSI. Considering that Anna Konda is designed to fight fires, it makes sense for it to be able to handle tough working environments as well as remain cool in the presence of high temperatures created by uncontrolled flames.
