What are Rescue Robots?
Rescue robots are robots that are designed to help people when in danger. Rescue robots can help save the lives of many people especially those who live exposed to dangers such as hurricanes, earthquakes , and other natural disasters everyday. These robots are generally programmed to simulate the task of a search and rescue mission. With these, robots, more lives can be saved since these robots perform the task much more efficiently than a human ever could. Depending on the model, the work envelop can differ. One of the most recently made rescue robots is similar to that of a snake. This means that it can turn in any amount of degrees and can fit in tight spaces to find survivors within a surplus amount of debris.
How Do They Work?
Rescue Robots are generally used in a myriad of disasters or types of destruction. In Japan, some are specified for saving and searching for people in rubble when a natural disaster occurs such as that of an earthquake. Most of these robots can think for themselves since they have chips inside of them that act as brains. Within this chip, they have information so that they can do things by themselves and have memory so that they can adapt. Many of these robots can also adapt to different situations because of this chip which is crucial for their job. Many rescue robots have sensors. When compared they are like that of a human eyeball, but better. The range of sight that these sensors are capable of, is much better than the average human eye and are overall much more powerful. With these sensors, they are able to carry out search and rescue missions with much more effectiveness than a human rescue team could.
