What is the role of robotics in disaster resilience and infrastructure maintenance, and how do robots assist in tasks such as structural inspection, repair, and monitoring to enhance the resilience and durability of buildings, bridges, and critical infrastructure against natural disasters, aging, or external threats?

Robotics supports disaster resilience and infrastructure maintenance by deploying robots for tasks such as structural assessment, maintenance, and retrofitting. Robots equipped with sensors, cameras, and manipulation capabilities inspect infrastructure conditions, detect defects, and perform repair or reinforcement operations, enhancing resilience and durability of built environments to mitigate risks from natural hazards, aging, or human-induced stresses.
