It would need to be very large to handle the weight of water

Americans have bought a lot of DJI industrial drones to oversee fire disasters.
It will be great to combine drones and robots, saving money and lives.
I think riot police can also use drones and robots for anti-trump revolution.

Agriculture drones can be used by american riot police!

Instead of using a weak quadcopter I think we could leverage Flyboard type jet technology as it seems to be strong enough to carry water/or a hose to fight fires.

A little quad copter is simply not strong enough to carry water or a hose. You'd have to build a really huge one. The above jet powered flyboard is just slightly bigger than a quad drone and can carry a man with no problems.

A Chinese robot named 'Fatty' recently went haywire, then smashed a booth and injured a visitor at a trade fair in Shenzen, sparking fears of a robot 'invasion' , reported People's Daily, the mouthpiece of China's Communist Party.

'Fatty' - also referred to as 'Little Chubby' - went out of control at the China Hi-Tech Fair 2016 on Thursday, smashing a glass window of an exhibition booth. The exploding glass from the trade booth injured a visitor, but not seriously.

"This is the first time in China that a robot has injured a human being," People's Daily wrote.

Robot goes haywire, bashing glass wall at the 18th China High-Tech Fair in S. China's Shenzhen, injuring one man.

'Fatty' is designed for educational purposes for children in the 4-12 age category. It's produced by a Beijing-based tech company and costs about $1,500, according to WhatsOnWeibo.com.

Chinese netizens on social networking site Weibo wondered if the attack was the first salvo in a war between robots and humans, WhatsOnWeibo.com said.

"This robot is a pioneer in his struggle against humanity," one commenter wrote. "The invasion of the robots has started", another wrote. "The Terminator is out there!" said yet another, according WhatsOnWeibo.com.

The takeover is happening. Report says toy robot ran amok in Shenzhen, injuring a human being.

There was no cause for alarm, though, as event orgnazisers told People's Daily that human error was responsible for the mishap. The operator of the robot hit the 'forward' button instead of the 'reverse' one, causing 'Little Fatty'to head in the direction of a neighbouring exhibition booth made from glass, according to one of the fair's organizers.

Chinese robot 'Little Chubby' has 'attacked' & injured visitor at China Hi-Tech Fair. He looks really sad about it.

Still, this isn't the first such 'attack' by a robot.

In July, a 16-month-old boy in California got knocked down and run over by a security robot in a shopping centre in Stanford. His parents said the machine is dangerous and that they feared another child will get hurt, abc7news.com reported.

That robot was 5 feet tall and weighed 300 pounds.

"The robot hit my son's head and he fell down facing down on the floor and the robot did not stop and it kept moving forward," the boy's mom Tiffany Teng said.

She added that the robot ran over his right foot, causing it to swell, but luckily the child didn't suffer any broken bones.

Has no one told you that this news has been discussed for a long time?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I guess still too early for inviting a robot to my parties

 

[xyxmt]

no one likes to be called fatty

Did the robot have a previous record or was it mentally ill?

probably the incident happened after the injured person called its name.
