Robot developed for Rescue Operations

A robot today has the capability to increase the speed of internet, increase the number of tweets and retweets on social media and also bring certain quality leads from the collected unstructured database. A student of the Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bengaluru has developed a six-legged, spider-shaped robot (Hexapod). This hexapod is aimed at helping in search and rescue operations.

The hexapod has unlimited range and is claimed to be controlled by using an internet-connected smartphone from anywhere in the world and features a mic for communication during calamities. The robot can avoid obstacles by using an Arduino sensor.

The robot is inspired from the movement of insects and can be used in mining industries. It has a 360-degree movable camera with live streaming feature and sensors which enable it to obtain live temperature and humidity readings. It can also be used in military spying and in Nuclear power plants. The cost of the prototype is priced at Rs.25,000.
