It is believed that the robot – which does not appear to have a name – will be attending its first incidents in the coming weeks.
The robot will be working with Kent Fire and Rescue Service.
“This is a really exciting addition for us,” said Mark, the group manager.
“We’re always developing new tactics and we want to have the best resources at incidents.
“This robot drives our service forward in our ability to help keep firefighters safe and to provide the best response we can.”
Carl, a technical rescue officer, added: “The robot can gather a range of intelligence that can then be fed back to the crews, who are a safe distance away.
“It’s like when we started flying drones in the service; we knew what they could do but not the extent of how they could be used.
“The robot will already bring so much to the service, but there’ll be lots more it can do!”
