Army Designing Scout Robots for Search and Rescue Missions

Scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, in a research project for the United States Army, have developed a new type of agile robot that could one day prove useful in search-and-rescue operations.

Creating A Novel Compact Antenna That Can Go Where Radios Can’t

Scientists from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have designed a new type of pocket-sized antenna that could take mobile communications to the next level.

Unique Software App to Transform Commercial Drones into Search-and-Rescue Heroes

A new app has arrived to help drones be faster and more effective when it comes to search and rescue missions.

Tiny Drones Use Static Adhesion to Conserve Energy

Tiny insect-sized drones can help with search and rescue missions by looking for survivors in hard to reach places. But small drones don’t have a lot of space for batteries, so they run out of energy quickly. A team of Harvard roboticists has developed a way for small drones to stay in the air longer.

Firefighting Drones Fly and Climb Walls to Find Fires in Skyscrapers

A research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed fireproof drones that can fly and climb the walls of skyscrapers. The unmanned aerial vehicle, named the Fireproof... Read More...

Drones to Help Detect Survivors in Disaster Zones

Drones, robots, and high tech devices are becoming staples in search and rescue missions. For example, when several earthquakes devastated Nepal earlier this year, drones used thermal cameras to detect any body... Read More...

New 3D Microwave Camera Sees Through Walls and Fog

Researchers at MIT’s Media Lab have developed a camera that uses microwaves to capture 3D images, even through walls and fog. The camera could be especially useful for search and rescue missions and driverless ... Read More...

Humans Use Mind Control on Cyborg Cockroaches

A group of engineering students from China have developed a way for humans to use their thoughts to direct the movements of cockroaches. The interface sends signals from a human mind to the brain of a cockroach... Read More...

Cyborg Cockroaches Aid Emergency Personnel
