The RTS Lab in Tehran, Iran, has successfully tested its Pars Rescue Robot which has the ability to quickly locate drowning victims in the ocean and launch life-preserver floats to them, reports Robots.Net. The robot’s tests were carried out in August 2013 over the Caspian Sea, and thirteen tests in all were made in a four day period. Pars was able to fly for ten minutes with its present design and its maximum speed was 10 m/s [sic] thus it proved capable of being used in missions with a 4.5 kilometer radius range, reports Robots.Net.
