Digging line

As wildfires become more frequent, firefighting crews are spread far too thin. They dig miles of line with hand tools, clearing flammable debris to form a boundary. Inspired by construction equipment and rover designs, TRAL navigates with LiDAR technology, breaks down debris, and plows it aside—relieving firefighters of their most tedious task.
