Players large and small in the robotics industry descended on Boston, US this week for the two-day RoboBusiness conference, bringing with them their best gadgetry to put on display.
This is the Robotic Mobility Platform from Segway, best-known for its iconic two-wheeled Human Transporter. The Segway RMP, which uses the same components, features an electric motor that runs at two horsepower for sustained use and can peak at four to five horsepower. It can range up to 15 miles and carry a 400-pound payload. The RMP 400 here is outfitted with a spray nozzle for firefighting duty.
