The robotic truck will evacuate victims from technogenic catastrophy sites and remove dangerous objects.

      The International Machine Vision System Laboratory of the Tomsk State University is making a robot capable to evacuate the injured from natural disaster areas and collect dangerous objects.

      Testing of the robot rescuer will begin in 2017. The robot is a caterpillar truck that can move with the speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour. Its maximum load-carrying capacity is over one hundred kilograms, with the freight height of up to 2 meters.

      The robotic rescuer is equipped with a machine vision system, which enables it to safely overcome obstacles and freely move in the field.
