Sažetak

Each year the use of professional service robots in firefighting is growing, as for direct fire-extinguishing, so for better fire monitoring and control. Robots are acting in outdoor and indoor environments, including the air zone. Some of them are adapted for urban environments, the others are intended for use on rugged terrains. Special versions are of robots for exploration, inspection and firefighting in residential and industrial objects. Fire monitoring in open space is achieved by using unmanned aerial vehicles. The use of firefighting robots significantly reduces the risks of interventions, enables better coordination and more effective struggle with the firefront. Croatia has developed its own firefighting robots and in this regard takes place on an equal footing with the leading countries of the world. This paper proposes the concept of advanced monitoring and management of fire based on the expertise of Croatian companies and universities.
