A "robot for disaster relief, rescue and dangerous operations" independently developed by China successfully completed a simulated rubble search and rescue maneuver in Beijing recently.
This means that the difficulty that many countries face of quickly obtaining detailed disaster information after a major earthquake is no longer a problem in China.
This "Robot" is a key project in the National High-tech R&D Program (863 Program), and was jointly undertaken by the State Key Laboratory of Robotics of Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Earthquake Response Support Service (NERSS).
During the simulated maneuver at the National Earthquake Rescue Emergency Training Base on May 12, the robot, which is in the 40-kilogram class and has a rotary wing, successfully completed a series of test tasks, including unmanned take-off, hovering, flight patch point tracking, information collection in extremely low altitude flying and unmanned landing. The robot also quickly collected information and transmitted real-time video images of the earthquake disaster area.
