Rescue Robot

The idea is to use a robot in rescue missions to find injured people in need of help. The robot can understand commands and go search for bodies, recognize them, and then report back. It's a great idea and could potentially be very useful once the robot is further developed. At this point though, it doesn't seem to be very effective though, since the robot doesn't have much flexibility in its movements and thus would probably not be able to really function very efficiently in a real life situation.
