Topsky One Thousand And One Degrees RXR-M80D

Every metre between a firefighter and a fire is a metre of safety, yet water, hoses and eyes have traditionally had to travel together into the heat. The Topsky One Thousand And One Degrees RXR-M80D separates them. The robot drives forward with its hose lines and cameras, and the operator remains up to 1100m away with a handheld terminal. This makes it a fire fighting robot for incidents where the hazard, rather than the fire service, should set the distance: dense smoke, unstable structures, toxic atmospheres and fires that are simply too hot to approach.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the RXR-M80D to fire and rescue services, industrial site brigades and system integrators throughout the European Union and the DACH region. We prepare every quotation individually for your application, arrange delivery to your site and remain your point of contact for support once the robot is in service.

Background

Topsky and its ground robot range

The RXR-M80D belongs to the TOPSKY range of unmanned ground vehicles. The range also includes reconnaissance and special-purpose platforms, which you will find in our Topsky collection and alongside other manufacturers in the UGVs category. Within this range the RXR-M80D carries out a single, demanding task. It is a fire fighting robot, built to carry a high-flow water monitor to the seat of a fire and to stay there while people stay back.

Electric drive and wireless control

The RXR-M80D is powered by a ternary lithium battery and controlled by wireless remote control. The electric drive means no combustion engine is needed to move the robot, so it adds neither exhaust nor engine noise to an already difficult scene. The operator steers it with continuously variable speed from the handheld terminal. Live video returns over the same distance as the control link, so the operator always sees what the robot sees. An optional gas detection package and a cloud link over 4G/5G networks extend the robot's role from suppression to reconnaissance and command support.

Technical Specifications

The specifications above are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the battery capacity, the battery voltage, the charging time, an IP rating for the robot as a whole or the monitor's range when discharging foam; we confirm these details with you at quotation.

How far can the RXR-M80D work from its operator?

Stand-off distance is what this robot offers above all. Its remote control distance and its video transmission distance are both 1100m. The operator therefore does not lose the picture before losing control, or the reverse. In practice the operator can remain at a command point outside the hazard zone while the robot advances, positions itself and holds its ground.

The water reaches far beyond the robot itself. The fire monitor has a range of at least 84.6m with water at a flow rate of 80.7L/S, so the robot does not have to drive into the flames to put water on them. It can stop at a defensible position and work from there. The hose has to come along too. The RXR-M80D drags two DN80 enriched hoses for a drag distance of at least 40m, and its traction force of at least 2840N provides the pulling power for that work.

Time on scene is the third dimension of distance. The continuous walking time is 2h. We recommend discussing your expected deployment cycle with us when you request a quotation, so that the operating concept matches the incidents you plan for.

What does the RXR-M80D carry into a fire?

The robot combines three functions that normally require separate resources. The first is suppression: the high-flow water monitor, fed by the hose lines it drags behind it. The second is vision. The camera protection level is IP68, which suits optics that will be soaked by spray, run-off and the monitor's own discharge. The third, as an option, is measurement. With the gas detection package the robot monitors up to 8 kinds of gases and 2 kinds of environmental parameters, giving incident commanders data from places where no one should stand to collect it.

That information does not have to stay at the operator's terminal. The robot's location, power, audio, video and gas environment readings can be sent to the cloud over the 4G/5G network. Command staff away from the fireground can then follow the same live picture as the operator. The chassis itself is built for broken ground. It climbs gradients of at least 84.8% (or 40.3°), crosses obstacles of at least 305mm and wades through at least 400mm of water, which is the kind of terrain that pooled firewater and debris create. At a maximum linear speed of at least 1.52m/s, it reaches its working position without wasting the battery's time.

Who is the Topsky One Thousand And One Degrees RXR-M80D for?

The first group is public fire and rescue services that want a remote suppression capability for incidents too dangerous for crews to enter: large industrial fires, smoke-logged structures or atmospheres where toxic gases are suspected. For these services the combination of a high-flow monitor and long-range video is the core argument.

The second group is industrial operators with their own site fire brigades. Chemical, energy and logistics sites face hazards in which approaching a fire is a risk in itself. A robot that can be deployed by a small team and controlled from a safe distance fits well into their emergency response plans. The optional gas detection and the cloud connection are particularly relevant here, as they support decisions at site level.

The third group is integrators and training centres that build response concepts around unmanned systems. If you need reconnaissance rather than suppression, or a different payload altogether, our UGVs category and the Topsky collection present further platforms. Robots Europa will gladly help you compare them against your requirements.

What is the Topsky One Thousand And One Degrees RXR-M80D used for?

1. Remote fire suppression: directing the high-flow water monitor onto a fire from a position no crew should occupy.
2. Cooling of exposed plant and structures: keeping water on tanks, pipework or buildings next to a fire while personnel remain at a safe distance.
3. Reconnaissance in dense smoke: sending live video from the fire zone back to the operator and the command post.
4. Gas monitoring: measuring hazardous gases and environmental parameters with the optional detection package before crews are committed.
5. Hose deployment over difficult ground: dragging hose lines across debris, slopes and standing water to where they are needed.
6. Remote incident oversight: sharing position, power, audio, video and gas data through the cloud over 4G/5G networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the RXR-M80D powered?

The robot is powered by a ternary lithium battery and has an electric drive. Its continuous walking time is 2h.

How far away can the operator be?

Both the remote control distance and the video transmission distance are 1100m. The operator therefore keeps control and a live picture over the same range.

What flow rate and range does the fire monitor deliver?

The fire monitor delivers 80.7L/S of water and has a range of at least 84.6m with water.

Can the robot detect hazardous gases?

Yes, as an option. The gas detection package covers up to 8 kinds of gases and 2 kinds of environmental parameters.

Can the robot cross water and obstacles?

The RXR-M80D wades through at least 400mm of water, crosses obstacles of at least 305mm and climbs gradients of at least 84.8% (or 40.3°).

What is included in the delivery?

The box contains the robot, a handheld remote control terminal, a car body charger (54.6V) and a remote control charger (24V). Optional equipment such as gas detection is specified in your quotation.

Summary

The RXR-M80D is built around one idea: water and eyes should reach the fire, while people stay well back from it. An electric drive, control and video over 1100m, a monitor delivering 80.7L/S of water with at least 84.6m of range, and a chassis that drags two DN80 hoses over rough and flooded ground together make that separation practical. Optional gas detection and a cloud link turn the robot into a source of information as well as water. For fire services and industrial brigades in Europe that want to take the distance between crew and hazard seriously, a quotation from Robots Europa via this page is the starting point.
