Summary/Abstract: The paper is devoted to the general outline of the issue of rescue robotization, which has already gained the status of a separate research and engineering discipline in Anglo-Saxon countries. The role of rescue robotics will grow, especially in areas such as firefighting, disaster relief, or search operations, as well as in the transport of medical and rescue equipment in various difficult field conditions. In the future, the importance of robots used to evacuate victims from danger zones will increase further, especially in view of the fact that they can be used both on the ground, in the air, and above and under water.
