Rescue robots are designed to rescue people in hazardous situations like mining accidents, urban disasters, and explosions. Rescue robots under development have abilities like searching, mapping, removing debris, delivering supplies, providing medical treatment, and evacuating casualties. There are different types of rescue robots including aerial, firefighting, marine, medical, military, path opening, snake, and swarm robots. These robots assist in tasks that are dangerous for humans in order to save lives.
2. Rescue robots:
• A rescue robot is a robot that has be designed for the purpose
of rescuing people. Common situations that empoly rescue
robots are mining accidents, urban disasters, hostage
situations, and explosions.
• Rescue robots in development are being made with abilities
such as searching, mapping, removing, delivery of supplies,
medical treatment, and evacuation of casualities.
3. Types of rescue robots:
Aerial rescue robots.
Fire fighting robots.
Marine rescue robots
Medical robots
Military robots
Path opening robots
Snake robots
Sworm robots
4. Aerial rescue robots:
These robots are
specially designed for
saving human lives.
By developing its
application,it can be
used in ships and off
shore reliefs.
6. Fire fighting robots:
These robots are automatically
detect and extinguish the fire.
It use flame sensor for detection
and arduino board for processing.
8. Marine rescue robots:
These robots are underwater vehicles which
plays a important role in underwater
rescuing and commercial offshore oil and
gas exploration ,subsea works , maintenance
and inspection.
10. Military robots:
These robots are autonomous robots or remote
controlled devices designed for military
applications.
several military robots have been developed by
various armies.
12. Medical robots:
a medical robot is a robot used in medical
sciences. they include, but are not limited to,
surgical robots.
these are in most tele manipulators, which use
the surgeons action on one side to control the
effector on the other side.
15. 9 exiting facts about medical robots
1. 70% drop in hospital acquired infections due to xenex robot.
2. Two Belgian hospitals “hired” pepper robots as receptionist.
3. By 2020,surgical robotics sales are expected to almost double to $6.4
billion.
4. 750,000 remote clinical encounters through Intouch health.
5. TUG robot able to carry around more than 400 kilograms of
medication.
6. Bear-shaped robot can lift patients out of bed 40 times a day.
7. Less than a Millimeter sized Microbot delivers drugs through
bloodstream.
8. Veebot draws blood in less than a minute.
9. Cuddly animal-shaped PARO robot reduces stress for patients.
17. Hi-tech robots:
Now-a days hi-tech robots
gives more support to the
doctors like robot carry plates,
clean clinical wastes, dirty
linen and cleaning operation
theatre.
19. Complications :
Flawed design.
Malfunction of hardware and
softwareComponents.
Misinterpretation and incorrect or
inadequate specification.
20. Advantages:
• Rescue robots increases the productivity
,safety,efficiency,quality,and consistency of products.
• Robots works in hazardous environment.
• robots need no environmental control.
• Robot work continuously without experiencing fatigue of
problem.
• Robots can be much more accurate than human.
• Robot can process many tasks simultaneously.
• Robots lack capability to respond in emergencies.
21. Disadvantages:
• Robots are costly, due to initial cost of equipment,
installation cost, need for peripherals, need for
training, need for programming.
• Robots, although superior in certain senses, have
limited capabilities in degree if freedom, dexterity,
sensors, vision system, real time response.
22. Application and future scope:
• It can be used in various industries for picking various objects where
human intervention is not desired.
• On a large scale, it can be used to develop robots with military
application. It can be used to target enemy without any humanbeing
crossing the territory.
• It is robust , sensitive and fast moving, hence can be applied in rescue
operation.
• With tremendous smart phone in markets, it is bound to have many
more applications in near future.
