Points of View
-
We asked some experts what they think of robotic search-and-rescue teams.
Meg
if we could access the kind of technology that would alow us to fly rodot bugs to locate and rescue earth quake survivers wee would be mor technologically advanced. as well as safer
Not Telling You
well ,the experts say they cant use laser or visual optics but wouldent a sonar with very low waves do the job ? low waves would not bounce off light objects such as dense smoke
Christina
of course they will, it’s the next logical step!
Yobe
i hope that robot can help humanity in this case
Gary
i think that robots are clever but they can get broken
M3gan
robots could turn out wrong and be no help at all. they couldbeworse than humans!
Oliver
robots could save people by lifting all the rubble
I-rn
I think that robots are never going to replace humans they can’t do stuff that we do.
Leah
I think they can because if robots can go to mars, they can basically do a lot of things to save, help and improve humans.
Alex
i think this is agenius idea very clever im proud to say im human
You
i think that robot can help.
Chante
year because they are made of matal
Chad
yes because they cant get hurt
Pelle
the robots will be able to hur beacuse you can just blow them apart and another thing is that the technolygi that need to made af robot that can think on its own and make their chosies and i’am sure tha
Jubial
yes because they might have sensors and that will be good
Jack
yes because the person that made him could make him titaniam aurmor so he cant be dameged.
Ron
Robots will never be better then a real person.
Pankaj
wonderful place. robots may be able to in the future but i seems difficult
Bill
not for a long time, particularly in poorer areas where they even lack the money to recover.
Lexie
I Hope in the future robots will be able to do what humans can’t. HOWEVER!! I can’t hosestly say that they will be much use when they get there as they feel no empathy or compassion.
Jonas
I think robots could find earthquake survivors in the future because of the latest technology that humans have will enable them to find survivors, robots like these are very efficent and may safe lifes.
Qusai
yes as they can go places humans cant, they can be all shapes and sizes and they are not limited by human factors
THEEM
robots will have so much power one day they will destroy us.
Dilly
yes. robots dont get hurt.
Kev
robots are our frends
Holly
i think we will have mini robots because they can go were people cant like small gaps.
Bronte
i the future robotswill be used more but how o they test zthem
BG 103
Robots might come in the future if our technology advances far enough. If they do, then they can find survivors with there programs.
Isaiah
Yes because they will be able to get peole in any space no matter wha the stuation is.
Qwerty
robots arent as gentle as humans!
Martina
robots could help with much.@!?
Potter
Robots must be on/y used for that works hman aren’t able to do
Victor
yes beause they smell the humans
Rebecca
robots will kill humans
Simon
If the robots could find the earhquake survivors before they die it would be very useful to the modern world
Greg
would you ever put full trust in a robot to save a human life?
Candy
yes, they could search for body heat :)
Barnard
because they are highly intelligent :-)
Eleanor
I think robots will replace humans because they can fit into smaller spaces and they can get into small places
Bob
rubbish robots are an alternative when human rescue is dangerous
Mira
i think the could use robot bcase o modern technolology but even if nt, tey culd ue dogs bcase of their smell, because robts can’t smell..
Lind!!!
I think that having robots t save human is one ofthe best ideas this planet has had. :D I LoVe ThIs mUsEuM
Jordan
robots should help

r0bots save lives

i think that robot are intelligent, we can relate to their intelligence..we can expand our minds together..big mind, big brain, big future…..megmind
Maria
i tink its a gd idea, but wha if people make bad robt?! we shouodnt make lost
Steve
the robots should warn us about the earthquake

yes, because they ae more flexible
Caroline
robots are not s smrt after all we made them
Charlie Atkinson
yes, most positivly since ihave a gcse in technology i do belive it could happen :)

i think it is an amazing idea 2 save peoples lifes
