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

Robotics contributes to disaster resilience by deploying robots for tasks such as infrastructure inspection, maintenance, and retrofitting. Robots equipped with sensors, cameras, and manipulation capabilities assess structural integrity, detect defects, and perform repair or reinforcement operations, reducing vulnerability and enhancing resilience of built environments to mitigate risks from natural hazards or human-induced stresses.
