The inventors of this robot said with this robot, rescuers would be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake. This kind of robot is able to fly. It's about three metres long, and it took about four years to develop the model. Its main function is to collect information from the air and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake. It has an excellent camera which can provide very clear pictures. It can work day and night, and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake Dr Qi Juntong, a researcher from Tsinghua University, said, “The most important character of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a control from faraway places. We just set in it the information of the places where it should go, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 30,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour.” This robot has a different function——it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. The camera, also acting as a detector(探测器) that finds trapped people and detects harmful gases, is placed in the robot, which can work in the dark. With its 10-metre-long pipe in the robot, people who are trapped in the fallen buildings will be able to get supplies including oxygen(氧气) and water. Experts have said that the robots would enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible. ( )11.
