Abstract

Over the last two years, AI and robots have been effectively integrated into disaster response and recovery efforts. The study article examines the progress of AI-powered robots in managing various crisis situations, including natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, as well as manufactured crises like industrial accidents and terrorist attacks. It examines cutting-edge technology enabling robots to navigate hazardous terrains, conduct search and rescue operations, deliver medical supplies, and assist in infrastructure restoration. They include machine learning techniques for real-time data processing, autonomous navigation, human-robot interaction, and multi-robot coordination. The document delineates many obstacles and constraints associated with AI-robotics systems, including ethical concerns, logistical issues, and the need for standardized deployment standards. This discourse examines how case studies and experimental findings may indicate the capacity of AI-powered robots to revolutionize disaster response and recovery into life-saving and commercially beneficial endeavors.
