I don't see any way this could go wrong.
But in all seriousness, would this replace or augment current IR detection of survivals in natural disasters? Searching from high up might not be the most ideal position to search from - this could work well outfitted on a rover. In fact, I would love to see a tiny little rover that can crawl into spaces and search for survivors, sounds and body heat.

- mirkules 5y agoThere's always treads, or even the rocker-bogie wheel system, as on the mars rovers.
