A voice-controlled rescue robot is an autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic system designed to assist in search and rescue operations, especially in hazardous or hard-to-reach environments such as collapsed buildings, disaster zones, or hazardous terrain. By integrating voice recognition technology, these robots can receive commands from human operators without the need for manual controls, allowing for faster, safer, and more efficient rescue efforts.

By using voice commands, rescuers can operate the robot hands-free, allowing them to focus on critical decision-making while the robot performs high-risk tasks, ultimately saving lives and reducing danger to human responders
