although it has been over a period of time, but the frequent earthquake aftershocks and tsunamis still make Japanese people in fear (although not the main factor), at the disaster site, we can see some of the Japanese rescue workers. This is the Japanese earthquake rescue robot. Today we will take you to understand the following four functions of different search and rescue robots, they all have some unique skills. It played an important role in earthquake relief.
first is the RoboCue, a robot that can identify the human body and carry and drag. It can transport the injured to the disaster area and provide emergency oxygen in the course of transportation. But it's scary when transporting the body to the pallet. It looks like a cannibal that starts eating from the face.
Snakebot, 26 feet long, looks like a snake, and is used to search space after a narrow gap. Although it can only move 2 inches, it can turn a sharp corner and have excellent maneuverability. In the ruins after the earthquake, it is a good skill to climb over mountains and mountains. After many practical applications, it has become the right-hand man of search and rescue personnel.
Robotic Crawler is also a transport robot that looks like a coffin structure that can support up to 250 pounds of weight, but because of its excellent climbing and endurance ability, it is used for the long-distance transportation of the wounded, especially in the straight line. The use of rescue equipment such as lifts can not be used. Its built-in life feature detection sensor can continuously monitor the situation of the wounded.
Quince is a robot dedicated to the detection of air conditions, the size of a child car, six wheel drive, the sensor can detect carbon dioxide concentration and temperature, to determine whether there is a person in stock, the internal storage of emergency supplies can be stored. It is provided to the victims.
these robots have a clear division of labor, together with the ability to work without rescuers, but they have a common disadvantage - they are mostly civil standards and are not capable of resisting electromagnetic reinforcement. High radiation environment, that is, they can not be applied to the nuclear power plant to pre empt disaster relief, is really similar to the self defense force accident. I hope that in the future rescue activities, these dauntless robots can set an example for those eggs laying men and save more lives.
