Earthquake Detecting Robot Will Save You

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 4 of February , 2010 at 3:27 am

I’m not entirely sure why this robot is a robot, but it performs a useful purpose and looks fierce while doing so. Built by students from J T Engineering College in Gujarat, India, the robot is connected wirelessly to sensors embedded in the ground and can somehow detect impeding earthquakes about 3 hours before they actually hit… Something about soil and water temperatures and vibrations and stuff that I don’t entirely buy. When it gets a signal of impending doom, it’ll send out warnings over the internet, which is a good thing since I wouldn’t count on it to run around looking for you.

well, that sounds like an interesting device, unnecesarily but amusingly hooked to a robot.

Are you sure it won’t kill me before the earthquake does?

@Goose

I think it’s more likely to fall over and kill itself before it kills you…

There are some attention-grabbing points in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them middle to heart. There may be some validity however I will take maintain an opinion till I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner as well.
