Ant-1000PM (fire extinguishing robot)

2024: Product Announcement

At the end of May 2024, the High-Precision Complexes holding presented a robot for extinguishing fires and dismantling rubble. The novelty was called "Ant-1000PM," it was created on the basis of the Ant-1000 loader.

According to the press service of Rostec (High-Precision Complex is part of this state corporation), the robotic complex received video cameras, sensors and a special module, thanks to which rescuers can fight rubble and fire at a distance. This is especially true during extinguishing fires of complex categories - the temperature in their epicenter can exceed several thousand degrees, stressed in Rostec.

The special module includes a monitor with a water-foam ejector nozzle, thanks to which the robot can "reach" the flame at an impressive distance - up to 65 m. At the same time, the equipment is installed on a remotely controlled boom. It also increases the robot's accessibility.

This robotic complex was developed jointly by the Kovrov Electromechanical Plant and the All-Russian Research Institute "Signal." Both enterprises are part of the High-Precision Complexes holding.

As noted by Vladimir Pimenov, General Director of VNII Signal JSC, the management organization of KEMZ JSC, Ant brand mini-loaders also became the basis for other special equipment. For example, the Bumblebee robotic remote demining machine.

Ant-1000PM - a new rescue robotic system. The complex allows you to remotely perform complex tasks for fire extinguishing and eliminating the consequences of disasters where human participation is too dangerous. For example, due to the extremely high temperature or smoke, - said Pimenov.

By the end of May 2024, the dates within which the Ant-1000PM model will become available to customers are not called.^[1]
