OLE pill bug robot concept could fight forest fires - Engadget

OLE pill bug robot concept could fight forest fires - Engadget: "Were the 'OLE' a real robot, it would be able to scuttle around the forest floor at speeds of around 6 to 12 MPH, using infrared and 'biosensors' to detect fire sources. If it gets into trouble, it can curl up just like a real pill bug and be fully protected thanks to a ceramic-fibre compound shell that can withstand temperature of 1,300 Degrees Centigrade."

Robots Rule.
