    A humanoid robot mounted on a wheeled base is spraying water or suppressant at an active fire in what appears to be a controlled indoor test environment. A human operator stands behind the robot, observing the demonstration. The facility is marked with the label 'DC-21' and features a circular emblem, suggesting a military or research institution setting.

    Octavia, a mobile, dexterous, social (MDS) robot, puts out a fire in the prototyping high bay of the just-opened Laboratory for Autonomous Systems Research at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. The LASR facility will integrate science and technology components into research prototype systems and will become the nerve center for basic research that supports autonomous systems research for the Navy and Marine Corps. The prototyping high bay can be used for small autonomous air and ground vehicles, and the people who work with them.
