MINI ROBOCUE
Mini Robocue is a rescue robot made by Kikuchi Manufacturing in Japan. It was designed to scoop out humans from various dangerous situations where it might not be worth the risk for human rescuers to pursue rescue operations.
The robot weighs 350 kilograms, but shows off its mobility despite its weight. Its independent front and back tank treads allow it to redouble its turning circle while swiveling in place. The Mini Robocue can climb steps inside of a building. Anyone rescued will be loaded onto the conveyor belt and scooped up into the robot’s body.
This rescue robot can be equipped with additional manipulators for dealing with a large amount of possibly hazardous materials. Owning this one-of-a-kind robot will cost around $16,000.
