Robot named Emily could save your life

摘要

For several years, Emily has been among the most popular baby names in the U.S. It also happens to be the name of a 25-pound high-tech, remote-controlled robot that could save a life at sea. Ideal for commercial shipping, cruise ships, oil rigs, private boats, pier/docks, and environments where flash floods are possible, the Emergency integrated Lifesaving LanYard (EMILY) is designed to provide flotation and assistance to multiple swimmers at a time. Designed by Hydronalix, EMILY, which measures 50 inches × 15 inches × 2 inches, weighs 25 pounds, acts like a jet ski reaching a top speed of 22 mph. The rescue device features a durable Kevlar reinforced hull and marine grade canvas to ensure product longevity.
