Benchmark Pilot Project for Firefighting Quadruped Robots – Ministry of Emergency Management
IFREECOMM won the bid for the Ministry of Emergency Management’s benchmark firefighting quadruped robot project (Chongqing pilot), delivering 4 LingMu quadruped robots in Phase I for reconnaissance and fire-suppression assistance in high-risk scenarios. The deployment will scale to 80 units, with nationwide replication potential exceeding RMB 80 million.
Project Background
Unmanned Replacement in High-Hazard Environments — Forest fires, hazardous chemical incidents, and similar scenarios involve extreme heat, toxic gases, explosions, and structural collapse risks. There is an urgent need to deploy robots in place of firefighters to enter the most dangerous zones for reconnaissance and intervention, eliminating casualties at the source.
All-Terrain Traversability in Complex Environments — Fireground terrain is highly complex (mountain forests, rubble, stairs, underground spaces), and existing wheeled/tracked robots have poor cross-country capability. Quadruped robots are required with all-terrain adaptability, including stair climbing, debris crossing, and narrow-space navigation.
Ultra-Low-Latency Reliable Communication — Fireground and hazardous chemical sites feature complex electromagnetic environments and severe signal blockage. Traditional communication suffers from high latency and frequent dropouts. A millisecond-level (≤35ms) ultra-low-latency remote control system is essential to ensure real-time, precise teleoperation and data backhaul.
Multimodal Situational Awareness and Intelligent Decision-Making — Under low-visibility conditions such as thick smoke and darkness, multi-sensor fusion (LiDAR, thermal imaging, gas detection, dual-spectrum PTZ cameras) is required to build real-time 3D environmental models, assisting commanders in rapid disaster assessment.
Rapid Reconnaissance and Precision Search & Rescue — During the golden rescue window, robots must quickly complete on-site reconnaissance, locate trapped victims, and identify fire hazards, requiring second-level AI early warning, autonomous navigation, and target recognition capabilities.
Multi-Robot Collaboration and Scalable Deployment — A single robot has limited capability. Multi-type robot collaboration is needed — search & rescue, fire suppression, support (air-ground integrated) — along with modular quick-release/swappable components, hot-swapping, and batch deployment capabilities to enhance full-domain emergency response efficiency.
Implementation Outcomes
1. Ultra-Low-Latency Core Technology (≤35ms) IFREECOMM's industry-leading "Lingmou" ultra-low-latency video transmission technology delivers end-to-end latency of ≤35ms, enabling precision beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) remote teleoperation — far surpassing conventional industry solutions (200–500ms) and serving as the core competitive moat that differentiates the company from other robot manufacturers.
2. Full-Stack Audio/Video Communication Foundation The proprietary iFOS video engine integrates H.265/H.264 SVC codec, SFU framework, and AAA audio technology, enabling 4K UHD video backhaul and high-fidelity two-way voice intercom — making the fireground situation "visible and audible."
3. Multimodal Sensor Fusion Four LiDAR units + dual-spectrum PTZ camera + panoramic camera + gas sensors + thermal imaging — capable of building real-time 3D environmental models even in thick smoke, darkness, and low-visibility conditions, with second-level AI early warning for anomalies such as fire, intrusion, and structural collapse.
4. All-Terrain Adaptive Locomotion Quadruped/wheeled-legged hybrid architecture supporting stair climbing, debris crossing, narrow-space navigation, and 360° in-place turning, with adaptive gait switching to handle unstructured complex terrain including forest fires, chemical plants, and underground spaces.
5. Multi-Robot Collaboration and Air-Ground Integration Supports coordinated formations of search & rescue, fire suppression, and support robots, combined with UAVs for three-dimensional air-ground reconnaissance and joint intervention — creating a new paradigm for unmanned fire rescue operations.
6. Modular Quick-Release and Swappable Payloads The rear-mounted intelligent controller supports hot-swapping, enabling rapid replacement of mission payloads such as gas sensors, fire suppression modules, and cargo delivery boxes. Supports multi-link access via 5G/4G/private networks and OTA remote upgrades — one platform, multiple missions, continuous evolution.
