Abstract - Robotic arms play a vital role in disaster management, enhancing both the safety and effectiveness of emergency response efforts. Designed to perform hazardous tasks beyond human capability, these devices are instrumental in locating survivors trapped under rubble, clearing debris, and handling dangerous materials. By reducing exposure to risks, robotic arms significantly improve the safety of human responders in high-risk scenarios. Advancements in artificial intelligence have further expanded their utility, enabling these robotic systems to adapt to unpredictable and dynamic environments. They can assess structural damage, provide critical data to response teams, and even assist in repair operations. Additionally, their precision and efficiency contribute to faster and more coordinated recovery efforts. From earthquake-stricken regions to industrial accidents involving hazardous chemicals, robotic arms have proven to be indispensable tools. Their integration into disaster response strategies not only minimizes human casualties but also accelerates the restoration of affected areas. As technology continues to evolve, robotic arms are expected to play an increasingly prominent role in improving disaster preparedness and recovery outcomes. This abstract highlight their current applications, the role of AI in advancing their capabilities, and the significant impact these innovations have on modern disaster management.
