Kansas State University researchers are developing robots to search for weapons of mass destruction and improvised bombs, using intelligent sensor networks and autonomous capabilities. The robot teams will be able to adapt to changing environments and team goals.
The Lancet report highlights the 'silent humanitarian crisis' of 3900 children dying daily from inadequate sanitation and safe drinking water. The authors recommend scaling up efforts to expand coverage by 2015 without significant financial investment or technological breakthroughs.
The report highlights deficiencies in protecting rescue and other workers, resulting in unnecessary injuries, particularly to eyes and lungs. Improvements recommended include providing emergency response personnel with appropriate protective gear and developing safety regulations tailored to large terrorist events.
