Compile a dossier on centaur robots for hazardous zones in 7 minutes
A ready-made robotics overview for fires, mines, and radiation sites - no hour-long videos to watch
- 1.Open ChatGPT (or any LLM with internet access - Gemini, Copilot) and start a new chat.
The free plan is enough. If you use ChatGPT Free, make sure web search is automatically enabled when you submit your prompt.
ChatGPT ↗About this tool - 2.Copy and paste the prompt below, replacing [FIELD] with one of: firefighting / mining / radiation survey.
The prompt is in English because ChatGPT's interface and output are more accurate that way. If you want the answer in Russian - add at the end of the prompt: «Write the answer in Russian.»
ChatGPT ↗About this toolPromptAct as a robotics analyst. Search the web and compile a structured briefing on centaur-style (human - robot collaborative) robots used in [FIELD]. For each notable robot or platform include: 1) name and manufacturer, 2) country and year of latest deployment, 3) what specific hazardous task it performs, 4) level of autonomy (teleoperated / semi-autonomous / autonomous), 5) one real incident or field test where it was used, with source link. Limit to 6 entries. Present as a markdown table.
What this prompt doesThe LLM will run a web search and build a table of 6 centaur robots for your chosen hazardous field. Replace [FIELD] with firefighting, mining, or radiation zone. If you need the answer in Russian, add «Write the answer in Russian.» - 3.Ask the model to add a comparison rating - this is the second prompt in the same chat.
This will help you quickly see which solutions are mature and which are still experimental.
ChatGPT ↗About this toolPromptNow add a second table comparing these robots by: technology readiness level (1 - 9), estimated unit cost range, whether it is commercially available or research-only, and key limitation. Sort by TRL descending.
What this prompt doesThe LLM will add a comparison table by technology readiness level (TRL), cost, and availability. This continues the previous answer in the same chat. - 4.Save the result: select both tables -> copy into Google Docs or Notion. Name the document «Centaur robots - [your field] - 2026».
In ChatGPT you can click the «Share» icon to get a link to the whole chat - easier than copying manually.
Google Docs ↗ - 5.For visuals, open YouTube and search for: «centaur robot hazardous environment demo 2025». Open any video with a real demonstration and paste the link into your document.
Videos from DARPA, IROS, or ICRA conferences are the most reliable. Skip CGI renders from promo reels - look for footage from a real test.
