Robots to the rescue - High-Tech helpers

From drones supplying remote villages with medication to robots taking on dangerous jobs: smart technology is helping people to go higher, faster and further. When lives are at stake, high-tech can often outperform humans.

Tom Plümmer's "Wingcopter" is half helicopter, half airplane. The drone with a two-meter wingspan has started delivering parcels in Germany and is already ferrying crucially needed medication supplies in Malawi. Drone stations being set up there by the inventor receive emergency calls from remote villages. The Wingcopters are then loaded up with vaccines, medication and other supplies before being guided via GPS to their destinations - which are difficult and time-consuming to reach by car.
