Middle East's first firefighting robot introduced by a UAE company

 

The first robot fireman in the Middle East has been introduced by a company in the UAE.

 The first domestically produced firefighting robot of its sort in the Middle East was unveiled by FFBOTS, an Emirati company situated in the Jebel Ali Industrial Area.

The robot, which goes by the name Wabel and meaning rain, has cutting-edge technical skills.

Wabel can improve firefighter safety and provide them with assistance during operations, which is a valuable addition to the efforts of firefighting agencies and firemen around the UAE and the region.

Manufacturers claim that it is particularly helpful in difficult-to-reach places or when doing hazardous, physically demanding jobs that might jeopardize firefighter safety.

Robotics expert and CEO of FFBOTS Mohammed Islam stated: “Since its inception, the company has sought to locally manufacture, design, and assemble robotics technologies, with a focus on attracting local and international competencies and expertise, inspired by its vision and the passion of the founding-team.Investors in the firm have goals that align with the UAE government's vision and strategic initiatives in terms of AI-based technologies.”

A combined investment by the UAE and Saudi Arabia marked the beginning of the project. In order to improve quality of life and protect lives and property through quick response to fire-fighting operations, our company plans to expand globally in accordance with the prudent guidelines of our government in the UAE.

This is particularly true in one of the economies with the quickest rate of growth, where there are several large projects and industries, free zones, warehouses, big residential skyscrapers, and other sensitive locations.

When it comes to putting out fires and protecting people and property, Mohammed Islam said that the robot complements rather than replaces the function of civil defense. This is especially true when fires involve high-risk situations like being close to oil and gas reservoirs and highly flammable materials that cannot be approached.
