Scientists have been trying to build snakelike, limbless robots for decades. These robots could come in handy in search-and-rescue situations, where they could navigate collapsed buildings to find ...

Researchers have developed robust mini robots with advanced sensors to help search and rescue teams find survivors in the aftermath of earthquakes and other disasters.

The world's first emergency rescue robot and emergency transport robot, independently developed by CSSC Haishen Company and Hangzhou-based DEEP Robotics, made their official debut on Wednesday in ...

Rescue roboticists have to constantly ask themselves how to efficiently get the right information to different groups of decision-makers. A.I. is such an important part of this.

Rescue robots have been used for many years and their technology has improved dramatically over the years, including their mechanical reliability when employed in the field.

Technology like inflatable vine robots and skin-sniffing smart sensors sound interesting, but could they actually save a person's life in a potential disaster zone? That's the hope of their ...
