Robot dogs and drones could be used if a disaster like 1984’s devastating fire at York Minster was to happen at a major heritage site today, Historic England has said.
A lightning strike at the minster was believed to have sparked the catastrophic blaze which caused more than £2.25m of damage. The minster and Historic England have now joined forces to showcase the latest tech available in the wake of such a disaster, including a robot called Spot which can be operated remotely to assess risk and damage.
