Sending robots instead of humans to the scene of a catastrophe so as not to risk more human lives when the situation there is very dangerous, is not a bad idea. But you have to be sure that the robots will carry out the same vital operations as their human counterparts, such as turning off the gas valve to mitigate the risk of explosion. For years, there have been robots capable of closing the gas tap and other similar valves. The photo shows one of these robots in front of a gas tap, during tests carried out within the framework of a line of research and development in which the team led by Howard Chizeck, from the University of Washington in the US city of Seattle, has worked. . The robot, despite not having a human form, is perfectly capable of turning off the gas tap. (Source: NCYT from Amazings)
