🏆 Colossus – Shark Robotics – Winner of the DIREKTION Award 2025!

Colossus, the robust, all-terrain robot designed for firefighting and hazardous interventions. Already deployed in real-life missions, Colossus reduces risks to human life in extreme conditions.

The Colossus heavy firefighting robot, developed in collaboration with the Paris Fire Brigade (BSPP), is engineered to redefine firefighting capabilities in extreme environments. This robust robot excels in critical missions such as fire suppression, casualty evacuation, and equipment transport. Notably, during the fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, Colossus showcased its extraordinary resilience and effectiveness, operating under extreme heat conditions for over 10 hours, significantly supporting firefighters in protecting the iconic structure. 

Designed for rapid deployment, Colossus can be equipped with multiple interchangeable toolless mission modules, allowing teams to adapt quickly to varying operational needs, whether it’s extinguishing fires, conducting reconnaissance, transporting heavy loads or carrying casualty. 

Combining ruggedness, precision, and adaptability, Colossus is at TRL 9 and is currently deployed by multiple fire and rescue services around the world. It represents a concrete example of how robotics can serve public safety, reduce risk for human teams, and deliver efficiency in time-critical missions.
