Humans take long to detect and rescue in case of emergencies and necessities, and the work’s very risky. Introduction of rescue robots has brought a new wave in rescue operations. Another to match the best with its credentials is the BEAR, Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot, a US Army funded humanoid designed to carry out rescue operations, in mines, battlefield and in case of earthquake and other calamities.
Manufactured by Vecna Robotics, the BEAR helps the injured by carrying them to safe spots. In nine different incarnations, with slight improvement in one over the other, the robots are rugged, fast and are equipped with explosion- and fire-resistant battery cells. Featuring an upper body controlled by hydraulics that can lift 500 pounds, the bot’s still being worked to act deftly in all situations.
