While talking with Dhaka Tribune, Ratul, team member of LU Hunter, said: "The primary objective of this robot is to keep the damage caused by a fire to its bare minimum. Md Ashraful Islam, lecturer of the university's EEE department and also one of the supervisors of this project, said: "The development of this robot is still in the early stages. But, when further advancements are made, we can use this robot in our campus as a measure for firefighting." Assistant Prof Rumel M S Rahman Pir, EEE department head of Leading University, Sylhet, said: "We are planning to include features such as bomb detection, temperature reading, data collection, storing, and server sharing to our robot. "If this robot, after more improvements, can be commercialized, then it can be used for firefighting operations across the country."
