A couple of years back, a tragic earthquake hit Italy and devastated the city center of one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Soon after, China was hit by same catastrophe that took away hundreds of lives. Fast forward to 2010, Haiti became the center of devastation caused by the Earth's shift, too. If there was a way to detect these quakes before they happen, we think that thousands of lives will be saved and aftermath wouldn't be as tragic as they are now. Thank goodness to Indian students who feared earthquakes so much they decided to create a robot that detects the quakes.

Hiren Patel, together with a group of students from JT Engineering College in India, was very much afraid of earthquake that could hit their city. The recent devastation in Haiti made them think, "What happens to us if it happened in India?" They know that their cities are one of the most populated in the world and in a snap of a finger, it could literally go back to ashes. So they came up with the Robot Earthquake Detector.

The Earthquake Detector Robot is equipped with a single receiver and two transmitters. The robot detects the shift in water levels, as well as changes in temperature. As soon as the robot receives these information, it then transmits it via internet.

Hiren Patel claims that the robot can detect earthquakes around 3 hours before they could actually happen. Enough time to vacate buildings and transfer people to a safer place.
