Review of Varied Types of Rescue Robotics with their Functions and Shortcomings

It is an undoubtful phenomenon that earthquakes are still affecting humans lives and causing a dramatic amount of death. Therefore, with the popularity of rescue robotics in recent years, varied types of rescue robotics appear to assist humans in the rescue process. Using the literature reading and review method, 4 types of rescue robotics will be discussed with their functions examples and future improving aspects. The research robotics mentioned are analyzing robotics, locating robotics, rescuing robotics, and medical robotics, which can primitively use the related data to analyze the happening of earthquakes as well as the environmental situation after earthquakes. Next, the system will locate the injured and dispatch them to the rescue center. With diverse assistance provided by rescuing robotics, the operation of rescue will be much more efficient. Eventually, some simple diagnoses and surgeries will be performed through medical robotics, increasing the possibility for the survival of the wounded. While the rescue robotics have gained the basic capability to act, more improvement in precision and multifunction will be given to them.
