Abstract: This review paper explores the growing role of robotics in disaster management, focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and advanced simulation environments. Highlighting lessons from events like the Fukushima nuclear disaster and Wenchuan earthquake, it examines the deployment of aerial, ground, and underwater robots in tasks such as data collection, search and rescue, and hazard monitoring. AIoT frameworks enable these robotic systems to classify objects and make decisions on-site, supporting timely and efficient responses in hazardous conditions. Virtual platforms like the DARPA Virtual Robotics Challenge, using simulators such as Gazebo and CloudSim, facilitate realistic testing of robotic capabilities in disaster scenarios, advancing operational readiness through virtual training. This review synthesizes recent progress in AI-driven disaster robotics, identifies challenges, and discusses potential improvements for future applications.
