A new all-terrain, life-saving robot capable of pulling victims from harm's way will make the Queensland Police Service the envy of Australia, the State Government has said.

The OzBot Titan robot has been specifically designed in collaboration with Victoria's Deakin University for Queensland's Special Emergency Response Team (SERT), making it safer for police officers to force entry into barricaded buildings.

It is fitted with lights, cameras, microphones and claws, and has the ability to lift its own weight of 300 kilograms.

Acting Superintendent Christopher Stream said it could also be used for delivering and collecting equipment, as well as rescuing people.

"Police can now operate remotely from areas of safety and carry relatively heavy loads in situations we've never been able to before," Acting Superintendent Stream said.

He said the robot would be one of three to be deployed in Brisbane, with a goal to have them all operational for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

"This type of device is much more robust and a better application in dangerous situations — it really is an excellent piece of equipment," he said.

Police Minister Mark Ryan said the Australian-first technology would make Queensland the envy of other states.

"I've often said that Queensland Police Service is a world-class police service, and we're a world-class police service because we've got resources like this," he said.

The QPS could not yet comment on the cost of the technology because it was still being developed by Deakin University.
