TED: These robots come to the rescue after a disaster | Robin Murphy

The video discusses the impact of disasters and the importance of quick response to minimize long-term recovery. It highlights the role of UAVs, marine vehicles, and ground vehicles in disaster scenarios, emphasizing their ability to access areas humans cannot. The video also addresses the challenges of data management in disaster robotics, stressing the need for efficient data sharing to improve response times and decision-making.
