Search and rescue robot

A search and rescue robot may be used to assist search and rescue efforts by searching, mapping, removing rubble, delivering supplies, providing medical treatment or evacuating casualties.

Rescue robots were used in the rescue and response efforts to the September 11 attacks and the 2016 Amatrice earthquake, albeit with questionable success. There are several projects, such as TRADR and SHERPA, dedicated to further developing rescue robot technology.
