rescue robot

Automated emergency responder

A rescue robot is a machine designed to locate and assist people in disaster situations—collapsed buildings, mine accidents, burning structures.

These robots can navigate rubble, detect survivors through heat signatures or sound, and sometimes deliver supplies or communication devices.

Rescue robots were deployed after the earthquake to search for trapped survivors.
