China has unveiled the world’s first emergency rescue and transport robots, designed for extreme conditions (-20°C to 55°C), while boasting quadrupedal, wheeled, and tracked mobility capabilities to navigate obstacles.
These robots enhance disaster response, battlefield first aid, and emergency medical transport.
During a live demonstration, the wheeled rescue robot, equipped with a portable medical device, performed on-site emergency treatment, while the quadrupedal transport robot evacuated an injured person, administering real-time care during transit. Experts highlight their role in bridging gaps in intelligent emergency medical rescue, improving efficiency as opposed to traditional methods.
Future advancements will integrate cutting-edge technologies such as embodied intelligence, biomanufacturing, quantum tech, and 6G to enhance medical rescue solutions. This innovation is expected to significantly boost China’s emergency response capabilities, setting a new standard in intelligent rescue robotics.
