Applications and prospects of sensor technology in rescue robot design

In the design of rescue robots, sensor technology has become an indispensable key part. It gives rescue robots the ability to navigate complex environments, detect danger, and efficiently locate and assist stranded people. This paper discusses the application of sensor technology in rescue robot design, analyses the use and working principle of different types of sensors, and their important influence on improving rescue efficiency and safety. At the same time, this paper also looks forward to the future development trend and prospect of sensor technology in rescue robot design and reveals how technological innovation can further promote the intelligence and efficiency of rescue work. Therefore, with the progress of sensor technology, the autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance ability of rescue robots can be significantly improved. With high-precision environmental sensing sensors and advanced algorithms, robots can autonomously plan paths in complex environments, identify obstacles, and flexibly avoid them. This capability will greatly improve rescue efficiency, reduce the need for human intervention, and reduce risk to rescuers. However, with the continuous progress of technology and the joint efforts of all sectors of society, these problems will be gradually solved, and the application prospects of rescue robots will be broader.
