Robots are becoming super helpful during disasters. They can go places where it’s too dangerous for humans, like inside collapsed buildings or areas full of rubble. Engineers have designed robots with cool tools like cameras and sensors to find people who are trapped. Some robots, like drones, even have heat-sensing cameras to spot people by their body heat
There are also robots that can crawl into small spaces to carry supplies or help rescue people. In floods or tsunamis, underwater robots are used to search for survivors. With new technology, these robots are getting smarter and can avoid obstacles and make better decisions on their own.
Using robots in disasters makes rescue missions safer and faster. They’re really changing how we help people when bad things happen, and they’ll only get better as technology improves.
