S$100m pumped into new robotic research facility by HTX
Robots could soon help frontliners fight fires and conduct search and rescue missions around the world. Behind that is a new S$100 million research centre that will be up and running by next year. The Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) will also look at more than 300 use cases to help responders deal with threats faster, with the first operationalised as early as end of the year. Professor Louis Phee, Vice President (Innovation and Entrepreneurship) at NTU Singapore, shares how he views this idea of humanoid robots doing dangerous jobs in society such as fire-fighting. He also explores what more can be done in the use of humanoid technology.
