Robot’s Everywhere has a post where they show the following picture of a Tokyo Fire Department robot rescuing a dummy in a drill.
The robot appears to be dragging the victim up the ramp by his/her neck.
Very Nice!
This was #8 in a series of photos from a Boston.com News in Photographs piece. The caption there reads:
