Thermonator
AI Chatby Throwflame
United StatesReleased: 2023
Last updated:
The Thermonator is the first-ever flamethrower-wielding quadruped robot dog, combining Throwflame's ARC Flamethrower with the Unitree Go1 robotic platform. This advanced system delivers on-demand fire streams up to 30 feet away, enabling remote fire management without exposing operators to direct hazards. The Thermonator integrates LiDAR mapping, First-Person View (FPV) navigation, laser sighting, and obstacle avoidance capabilities for precise autonomous and remote-controlled operation. Primary applications include wildfire control and prevention, agricultural management, ecological conservation through controlled burns, snow and ice removal in inaccessible areas, and entertainment/special effects production. The system operates via smartphone and wireless controllers, allowing operators to maintain safe distances while managing fire-based tasks with high precision and safety.
