Robot for Earthquake Rescue
NorthValley Robotics earthquake search and rescue robot is a specialized robot designed for rescue missions in confined spaces following disasters such as earthquakes and collapses.
Earthquake Rescue Robot
Earthquake Rescue Robot integrates thermal imaging video transmission, Beidou high-precision positioning and navigation, and an autonomous obstacle avoidance system, enabling it to replace rescue personnel in entering unstable ruins to perform tasks including life detection, environmental reconnaissance, and material supply delivery.
Its unique crawler + front swing arm walking mechanism grants it exceptional mobility, allowing it to climb slopes ≥45° and stairs ≥32°. Combined with an IP67 protection rating and an 8-hour ultra-long battery life, it can operate stably in dark, smoky, and toxic gas environments, making it a vanguard tool for seizing the critical 72-hour golden rescue window.
