Robots that save lives

In high risk professions such as the military, para military, the fire fighters and first response workers at emergencies the robots can play an important function. The robots can help save lives of these people and reduce the risk profile to their jobs. Every year there are science projects based on robots that can reduce the risk to human life.

Some of the jobs that a robot can do which can help save lives are listed here. The bomb disposal squad will be happy to work with a remote controlled robot when they try to diffuse bombs. It is traumatic for team members to see their colleague blown to bits in front of their eyes as he works on diffusing a bomb.

With fire fighters a robot that can go into burning buildings and identify just where the trapped human beings are can make the job much easier. The robot can guide the people who can move through the smoke filled buildings to an exit to save their lives. they can also pin point the location and stand guard with people who have been injured and need help to be physically removed from the building.

In case of the military services it is much easier to send in a robotic drone on spying missions than a human being. Even if the unmanned aerial drone is shot down you do not lose a pilot. Robots can and do save lives every day. It is essential to support science projects that help robots to save human lives.
