How psychopaths are dominating the job world

How psychopaths are dominating the job worldHow psychopaths are dominating the job worldMadness is commonly understood to be a frequent bedfellow of creative genius but what about business acumen?A recent study performed by Board and Fritzon at the University of Surrey in England found various personality disorders to be much mora prevalent among high-level executives than the mentally ill criminals that inhabit Broadmoor.The idea that narcissists, sufferers of histrionic disorder and anankastic disorder are likely zipping past you on the career food chain isnt a novel one but studies begin to suggest more and more cases to be observed.This might be jarring when first read, but further analysis unmasks its reason.Successful and unsuccessful psychopathsThe study goes on to illustrate a fascinating distinction between the two types of psychopaths unsuccessful psychopaths lack either the faculty or the mettle to capitalize on the idiosyncratic way they view the world, while successful psychopaths let their psychosis take free rein. To reiterate this more sinisterly Those biologically incapable of considering others in an emotional sense are at an absolute advantage in the job market.In chorus with this is the demarcation of impulses vs. the question of severity. Is it that psychopaths who earn a place in the upper echelons of society are simply beset by a milder version of the same illnesses that plague the ones consumedby failure? Or, is it because what successful psychopaths lack in empathy, they make up for in restraint? The latter presumes theyre able to shackle instincts of self-destructionand pivot with unbridled grandiosity while the former sort of undermines the correlation altogether.It should be noted that the majority of studies on the subject have two ways of defining success Personal (wealth social status etc.) and simply avoiding imprisonment orinstitutionalization.Successful psychopaths in the workplaceAmbition, drive, and resourcefulness are the a pparent offspring of tunnel vision and a genius for manipulation. Ladders previously reported onthe careers that attract the fruchtwein psychopathsand the list is very much in harmony with Board and Fritzons findings.The top five jobs adored by the wonky are all jobs considered by most to be high-paying ones surgeons, sales reps, media personalities, lawyers, and CEOs, respectively.A study published by the association for psychological science found that three out four clinal psychology professors described either a current or past colleague as a psychopath.Successful psychopaths were found to test higher in areas of excitement seeking, assertiveness, executive function, and self-discipline. They were also found to be callous, guiltless and lacking empathy. They channel all of these paradoxical qualities in ways that belie the impression of social normalcy,The danger of the findingsWe promote them, we elect them, and sometimes, a lot of people feel comfortable when people like that are in charge of our lives,Dr. Igor Galynkertold CNBC two years ago.Its important to examine the continuum of the effects of psychopathy when evaluating these studies. Reliable data cant exclusively be obtained from just the diagnosis itself because the symptoms tend to manifest in a myriad of ways.Robert D. Hare pulls from 25 years of research to paint an imperatively disturbing portrait of mental deformity in his 1999 book Without Conscience The Disturbing World Of Psychopaths Among Us.In the book, Hares admission of the ruthless and magnetic charm that lives inside true psychopaths is habitually met with all the ways it deems them dangerous to our society. His definition is pretty clearRobert Hares definition of a psychopath is also a rubric to success Social predators who charm, manipulate and ruthlessly plow their way through life Completely lacking in conscience and feeling for others, they selfishly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expect ations without the slightest sense of guiltor regret.Ultimately we are talking about illness here, the destruction of which has been greatly hindered by our own obsession and lionization of it. What worries me most about studies that magnify the link between success and sickness, is it adding further credence to the romanization of mental illness.Its bad enough that aspiring writers ache for a drip of the madness that led Woolf to the river Ouse, now we have to worry about young professionals attempting to adopt maladaptive qualities in a bid to inch their progress that much further along.The research is blameless, but I must caution those and their appraisal of it.

Calling It Quits Do It the Right Way!

Calling It Quits Do It the Right Way Calling It Quits Do It the Right Way Youve been unhappy for some time in your present position. It could be due to conflicts with your manager or coworkers, to lack of advancement opportunities, to salary concerns, or to any number of other issues. Youve considered all of your options, have weighed the pros and cons involved with each, and have even considered the impact on your personal and family lives. You have finally reached a decision that the best course of action is to leave your current position for another opportunity.So, how do you now proceed to communicateyour decision toyour current organization?This seems like itshould be the least of your worries after what youve just been through. However, the way you quit is a critical decision, one that can either strengthen your professional reputation and future opportunities or totally decimate them.The days of the two-week notice are a thing of the past in the fast-pacedworld that we liv e in, and not recognizing this could be to your detriment. Its important when negotiating a start date for your new position to consider the time youll need for your announcement to your current employer. How muchtime you need will depend on a number of factors, including (among others)- whether you are an individual contributor or manager- whether you are in a highly specialized position that is difficult to fill- and whether your current project is at a stage that would be difficult to recover from your loss.The following are several steps that you should consider when its time to quit, governed by your particular situationPrior Action Know What Your Departure Entails Through HRAre there any impediments to your departure, including documents that you may have signed when you first joined your current company? You should have answered this question prior to accepting another position. Can you not participate in the same type of activity with other competitors for a certain period o f time? Are there restrictions on taking your current clients with you to your new assignment? What benefits are you entitled to receive upon termination (e.g., pay for remaining vacation, earned overtime hours, unused sick leave)? When does your health coverage end (end of the month or at termination)? Is COBRA or other health plan coverage an option in the interim?Action 1 Inform Your Immediate Manager(s)This sounds rather simple, but in complex corporate organizations, you may report to two or more individuals (e.g., functional and direct-line),or you may be a project manager involved directly with managers of multiple groups.Plan to carry out this actionin person if at all possible. If you work remotely, do it via a scheduled telephone and/or video conference. In all cases, follow these notifications up with a formal letter to your management and HR indicating your planned termination date and your willingness to assist in the process of identifying a replacement and effectively transferring your knowledge and information to your assigned replacement.Action 2 Inform Your Direct Reports/SubordinatesDont waste time after you make your formal management announcements to inform your direct reports and/or subordinates. They need to hear the news directly from you in a group setting (if possible). This should be done the same day as you inform your management. Be prepared to answer your subordinatesquestions openly and honestly. Ease their concerns about your departure and let them know that you will untersttzung them and their interests however you can.Action 3 Inform Other Colleagues and CustomersThis is a little trickier.For company colleagues, you should look for the earliest opportunity to inform them after action No. 2is completed. For example, if they mention in a meeting that you have an upcoming action that is scheduled after your departure date, mention that you will assure your replacement will be up to speed, and then discuss your departure plans. No t telling your colleagues and thinking that they will somehow get the word from office gossip leaves them feeling that they were not important enough to you to inform them personally. On the other hand, going to them directly and making a point to tell them can seem like youre rather pretentious and believe your departure should be very important to them.Regarding informing your customers, you will need to clear your actions with your management and with HR (and possibly with your legal department) in advance.Proper communication of your departure plans not only displays professionalism and respect for your company and your colleagues, but it also paves the way for future business recommendations and opportunities. Do all that you can to support your current company, and your new company will recognize your efforts and see that it isgetting a winner. It is never good practice to burn bridgesTom Galioto provides consulting services to the energy and manufacturing industries through G alioto Engineering Consulting Services, LLC.

The global misery index has reached its highest levels in years

The global misery index has reached its highest levels in years The global misery index has reached its highest levels in years If you have been feeling down lately, recognize that it is not just you that is feeling sad, but also the world. According to a new study by Gallup that surveyed the emotions of 154,000 people in more than 145 countries, our Negative Experiences Index - an average of people’s reported physical pain, sadness, and anger,  worry, stress - is the highest it has been since 2006.The world is feeling downWhat’s making us blue? The study does not go into the reasons behind the rising tide of negative emotions but suggests that worldwide “turmoil” could account for it. In the United States, in particular, stress is what is on many Americans’ minds. They were the second-most likely to say they had experience stress the previous day with 49% of the population reporting it, a number that only ranks above the most stressed country: Greece.Positive emotions are also on the decline. Less than half of people worldwide - 46% - said did something interesting or learned something new in 2 017, a number that is lower than it was in the past few years. For Americans, this rise in negative emotions could be due to the rise in anxiety since 2017. A recent American Psychiatric Association poll suggests that economic and political anxiety could be at the root of the downturn in emotions.  Americans said they were more anxious today than they were at the same time last year, citing worries about keeping themselves safe, keeping their families safe, bills, and the impact of politics on their life as answers.To float on top of a sea of bad emotions without getting pulled under, you need to honor your negative emotions as valid without wallowing in them. And then you need to celebrate your positive emotions without discounting them. Our brains can get easily trained to focus on mistakes and bad experiences, overlooking the positive. To retrain ourselves, try a practice of gratitude and list out tiny and big moments that made you feel good. That way, you teach yourself to notic e the interesting world around you and can go to bed each night on a high note.

3 Ways to Avoid Résumé Buzzword Banality

3 Ways to Avoid Résumé Buzzword Banality 3 Ways to Avoid Résumé Buzzword Banality Which of these words have you used to describe yourself on your LinkedIn profile or  résumé? Responsible. Effective. Strategic. Analytical. Expert. Organizational. Specialized. Creative. Innovative. Experimental. Motivated. Driven. Patient. A recent  LinkedIn  study identified these as 13 of the most overused buzzwords worldwide in members’ profiles for 2012 and 2013. “Responsible” was used twice as often as any other word on the list. In the right context, words like these can be extremely helpful in your efforts to depict yourself as an individual who can bring a valuable blend of knowledge, personality and mindset to a new employer. When used correctly, they can add substance to your claim of being an effective communicator. At the same time, they are too-often strung together as a veritable forest of buzzwords that convey no meaning and give lie to the boastful claim of excellent communications skills. Consider a  résumé  that contains at the top an introductory statement like: “Responsible professional who is motivated and  driven to effectively get the job done.” It might well be that the person described is all these things, but the problem is that when these words are presented without context, their subject is reduced to a generic stereotype rather than a person of substance. Professional what? Is this person an engineer, a marketing professional, an X-Ray technician or chief cook and bottle washer? Responsible for what? Anyone who has ever held a job has been responsible for something. What are the nature, scope and size of those  responsibilities? From this introductory sentence we don’t know if we are reading the  résumé  of someone in his or her first or second job after college or someone  well-seasoned and experienced in leading a corporate  team with profit and loss responsibilities. Motivated? It is a great thing to be highly motivated. But to claim this for yourself without a context doesn’t do much to distinguish yourself from everyone else. Rare indeed is someone who will be so brutally honest as to describe themselves on a LinkedIn profile or  résumé  as “occasionally motivated” or “moderately ambitious.” If you want to claim  motivation as a personal attribute, then be specific. What kinds of actions has your motivation produced, and with what result? Your task is to show how all these, or whatever other wonderful characteristics, apply to you with specific detail. On LinkedIn’s own blog, Christine Choi presents three best practices to adopt. 1. Tie words to actual results. “Link your skills to specific results that demonstrate your competence,”  Choi writes.  Figure out how all these buzzwords actually describe you and give the detail through which a reader will come to the conclusion you want, rather than just take your self-description on faith alone. For example, rather than simply asserting she's a solid communicator, a nurse might offer a bullet point that reads  something like this: “Enhanced communication between physicians and families by educating parents on their child’s condition, support and care.” This level of detail enables the reader to imagine that nurse sitting with parents somewhere in a hospital, engaging in active dialogue. 2. Use active language. So often people define themselves by their responsibilities and leave it at that. It is not just about what you may have been responsible for, but rather how you exercised your authority to fulfill your responsibilities and what results you attained that separate you from everyone else. Rather than saying, “Responsible for marketing XYZ product,” you can give a mini-story with a bullet point like this: “Managed launch of XYZ product including: overseeing messaging development, creating print and online marketing advertisements, obtaining 2 key product endorsements and allocating advertising budget of $1 million among all media.” 3. Let others vouch for you. It's one thing to claim something about yourself, while it is much more forceful if others say it in your stead. “Seek out endorsements or recommendations from other reputable sources who can verify your talents,” Choi writes.   After all, it is always better when someone can say, “I saw Joe be effective at …” rather than Joe saying, “I’m effective.” It is hard to overstate the value of an upfront contextual recommendation for your work on your profile from a current or former co-worker or supervisor. Put simply: either ditch the buzzwords, or supplement them with the language, stories and testimony of others that truly explain who you are, how you work, your attitudes and achievements. The devil really is in the details, and when you provide the right amount of detail you show that you're talented with the power to communicate your worth effectively. Happy hunting!

Johann Gutenberg and Invention of the Printing Press

Johann Gutenberg and Invention of the Printing Press Johann Gutenberg and Invention of the Printing Press Johann Gutenberg is nearly universally credited with being the inventor of the printing press, and the father of the modern printed book. Gutenberg was an early communications catalyst who invention of the printed book opened up the world to the quick and efficient spread of knowledge and ideas. The Invention of the Book Despite Gutenbergs cultural status as the forebear of the modern book production process- Time magazine named him Person of the Millennium in 1999- relatively little is known about the details of his life. Gutenbergs Life Johann Gutenberg was born into an upper-class family of goldsmiths in Mainz, Germany around 1395. Much of what else we know about Gutenbergs life is through legal documents of his time. For example, he promised to marry someone but didnt, and she took him to court; and he owed money from what seemed like a get-rich-quick scheme involving selling baubles to religious pilgrims.Tidbits of information from these and other legal documents and intense scholarly investigation suggest Gutenberg was a man passionately dedicated to the idea of the mass production of printed pages, an inventor who borrowed money in order to see his work through to completion- and one who was extremely secretive about his ideas while they were in development. One person who lent Gutenberg a substantial sum was Johann Fust. Fust eventually sued to get back his money and the accrued interest and seems to have taken over the original press, which had been put up as collateral. Gutenberg continued his printing career  and appears to have continued modifying printing methods to enable additional efficiencies. At the end of his life, he was granted an allowance from the archbishop of Mainz for food and clothing, suggesting he lived out his days in relative comfort. Gutenbergs Printing Methods Some conjecture that Gutenbergs exposure to metal casting methods in the family goldsmithing business gave him the skills necessary to create the individual, reusable letters cast in metal- the movable type- to set pages. While the Chinese invented a form of movable type about five hundred years earlier and continued to make improvements to their methods, restrictions of the language, religion, culture, and materials kept the technology from widespread use.Whatever inspired Gutenberg to his printing ideas, he needed to have worked extremely diligently in a variety of subject areas- what we know now as chemistry and mechanical engineering- to bring the printing press to practical application. His metal type necessitated his invention of new, oil-based inks that would stick to the type. It also necessitated the creation of a device that could transfer- press- the ink evenly onto the pages. Its assumed that Gutenberg used a screw press to print his books. Similar devices were at the time used to make paper and to press grapes for wine.Improvements in paper production brought costs down and made the paper a viable substance for books, more economical than vellum. Gutenbergs Bibles The Gutenberg Bibles, which dates from the 1450s, are considered to be the first books printed in the Western world and, although they dont bear the printers name anywhere in the volumes, are attributed to Gutenbergs first printing efforts. Several of these are in the possession of the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City and are frequently on display. Gutenbergs Legacy Prior to the invention of the printing press, books existed in codex form; that is, books were hand-copied and a Bible would take around two years to produce. Most of the general public would have seen a book- that Bible- only in church, and all but the wealthy and learned would likely have to travel to get a look at one of the classic texts such as Homers Illiad.As book printing-publishing was established as a business, the first book trade fair was established in Frankfurt, Germany, not far from where Gutenberg printed his first Bible. The efficiencies of using movable type and a printing press to produce books quickly paved the way for the mass production of books and other reading material, including printed handbills advertising these early books- the first book marketing!Printed information caught on quickly as a method of communication. For the first time in history, ideas were literally put in the general publics hands in the form of the printed word, and  book publishing enabled knowledge, thoughts and culture to spread at a rate faster than ever before.

How to Deal With an Angry Boss - The Muse

How to Deal With an Angry Boss - The Muse How to Deal With an Angry Boss Bosses can be volatile. One minute, they’re bragging about their team’s accomplishments to the executive team; the next, they’re fuming that a project hasn’t been completed. To some extent, that’s expected- managers do have pressure-filled jobs, after all. But there are also bosses whose bad moods come out of nowhere- when on any day, in any instant, and with no warning, his or her mood can turn from pleasant to unbearably foul. And of course, your manager takes it out on everyone around him or her. Including you. No matter your boss’ mood, your work has to continue- ideally without ruining your entire workday. So how can you remain unaffected by your manager’s bad moods? I’ve been there, and I’ll tell you it’s not easy- but it can be done. Here’s how. Don’t Feed Off of It When your boss is making his or her rounds of the floor, announcing how nothing’s going right, deadlines are being missed, goals won’t be met, and no one’s on track to deliver an important project on time, it’s likely that the rest of the team will take that cue to start thinking the same way. We’ve all seen it: When the boss is happy, the team’s happy- and when the boss is down, the team is down. But it’s vital to remind yourself that just because your boss is in a bad mood, you don’t have to follow suit. How do you resist? Start by keeping things in perspective. Is your boss in a terrible mood because a project is off track? If you’re not involved in that particular assignment, you don’t need to let yourself be affected. If you are part of that project, make sure your manager knows you’re on top of your portion. Often, your projects and priorities aren’t the same as those of your manager- so don’t assume that what’s causing the bad mood for your boss should influence your day, too. Do Look for Triggers Pay close attention to your boss’ thunderous moods, and see if you can detect a pattern. For example, is your boss more likely to get extra agitated the morning before his weekly executive report is due? Or after lunch on Thursday, when she’s cramming to get her work done before she has to leave right at 5 PM for her kid’s ballet class? Or maybe it’s a daily routine that starts first thing in the morning and lasts until he hits his third cup of coffee. Whatever it is, if you can pinpoint the times and triggers that makes your boss more likely to take out his or her emotions on the team, you can either address them if possible (think: “Hey John, I thought I’d turn in my portion of the weekly report early so you can get a head start on it”), or if out of your control, keep your distance until it passes. Which brings us to: Do Avoid When Possible Especially when you know your boss’ triggers- but even if you don’t- it’s fully OK to avoid your boss when necessary (and possible). And, sure, it’s certainly not always possible. You may have an unavoidable meeting scheduled or an urgent question that needs to be answered face-to-face. But if you don’t, know that it’s OK to email a question instead of braving your manager’s office, hold a minor update until the mood has passed, or put your headphones in to block out some of the negativity. It may not be a foolproof solution (bosses do seem to pull Office Space-style cubicle drive-bys quite often), but it’s a small step you can take to avoid the fallout. Don’t Assume it Has Anything to Do With You When you find yourself in your boss’ line of fire, it’s easy to assume that something you did must be fueling that terrible temper. Just remember: Bosses have shortcomings, too. Your boss may not have the best time management skills. He may put big projects off until the last possible second, making it nearly impossible for him to produce the needed assignment on time. Or maybe she has personal problems going on in her home life, and she’s letting them impact her performance (and mood) at the office. Whatever the situation, unless you’ve knowingly done something that could be the source of your boss’ foul mood, it’s OK to assume that it hasn’t stemmed from anything you’ve done. It’s tough, but try not to take it personally. Do (if You’re Desperate) Address it Calmly If your boss’ moods are impacting you significantly and you’re ready to confront your boss about a specific situation, do it with a calm and neutral attitude. For example, if your boss is fuming about a big project that isn’t going as planned, ask, “I can see you’re frustrated. Is there anything I can do to help?” Or if he rolls his eyes and gives a sarcastic chuckle at a suggestion you present, say, “That suggestion seemed to annoy you. What do you think would be the best way to approach it?” Your boss may not realize that’s how he’s coming across- but by pointing it out in a gentle, composed way (without an emotional charge), you may make him realize he’s not communicating effectively. You can’t control your boss’ moods- but you can control the way you react to them. My advice? Steel yourself, keep things in perspective, and carry on.

Is Bad Advice Killing Your Job Search

Is Bad Advice Killing Your Job Search Is Bad Advice Killing Your Job Search It seems like everyone (and their well-meaning cousin) has a piece of career advice when it comes to job hunting. As one of the leading resume writing agencies in Houston, ResumeSpice has seen firsthand how the advice of even the best-intentioned friends, family members, and trusted colleagues can actually foil your job search and prevent you from landing a new position. So what advice should you toss out of the window? Let’s take a look: Myth #1: A Resume Must be One Page Sure, this was the standard practice years ago, but not anymore. Your resume can be and should be, if you’re highly experienced, more than one page. It’s better to have an easy-to-read and well-formatted resume that’s two pages long, than an unreadable and poorly formatted resume that’s crammed into one page. That said, don’t go overboard and submit a resume that’s longer than it needs to be to reflect your experience. The one page resume myth is so pervasive, we wrote a blog post about it. Myth #2: You Should Apply to As Many Jobs as You Can Hiring managers can quickly identify whether or not you’re right for the job. So if you’re sending your resume like spam mail â€" just because “hey, you never know” you’re only wasting your time and the hiring manager’s by applying to every position under the sun. Instead, spend your time crafting customized resumes and cover letters for the few positions you truly are a great fit for. Myth #3: Companies Post All Openings If there’s a company you’re interested in working for â€" say you love their product or you’re a loyal user of their service reach out to them, even if they haven’t posted a position. In your cover letter, be sure to communicate why you are passionate about working for the company and what you plan on bringing to the table to create a positive impact there. The fact that there isn’t a job posted can actually help your chances, as there’s likely to be less competition. Company’s love hearing from candidates who have a true passion and desire to work for them. Myth #4: Staffing Agencies Don’t Help Back in the day, staffing agencies were used to fill administrative and industrial type positions. Today’s staffing agencies place highly skilled professionals in fields ranging from accounting to IT to human resources. If you’re someone with plenty of experience under your belt, and you’d like some professional help finding your next job, a staffing agency can help get you there.

The 7 Coolest Rescue Robots Tackle Almost Any Disaster, Part 1

The 7 Coolest Rescue Robots Tackle Almost Any Disaster, Part 1 The 7 Coolest Rescue Robots Tackle Almost Any Disaster, Part 1 The 7 Coolest Rescue Robots Tackle Almost Any Disaster, Part 1 After disasters strike, buildings collapse, fires rage, and air and water become contaminated, these emergency areas end up as dangerous and inaccessible to humans, often for weeks and months. Sometimes, victims are trapped in unreachable areas while needing urgent medical care such as blood transfusions and medicine. In these situations, robots are becoming increasingly important responders, joining search and rescue teams in their missions. Besides being able to traverse contaminated and dangerous areas, these robots bring a different set of skills to disaster recover site. They can work around the clock without getting tired, they are excellent at repetitive movements, and they are much easier to repair than an injured human. Listen to the latest episode of ASME TechCast: Renewable Energy Experts Shine Light on Solar Farms and Grids MIT researchers have trained their robotic cheetah to see and jump over hurdles as it runs. Image: MIT Some of them venture onto the disaster sites, mapping the area. Some can manipulate human-scale objects like doorknobs and clear piles of debris. Some can navigate autonomously, gathering pollution data or following a humans gaze to inspect specific spots. Others deliver life-saving medications to where they are needed most. And while a robot that can single-handedly rescue a human from a fire or a buildings rubble does not yet exist, many teams across the globe are working on its prototype, whether in its human, animal or even a six-legged form. Here is a list of land, aerial, and aquatic robots in different stages of their training to assist humans in various calamities. Top Story: Tiny Gyroscope Aims to Improve Wearable, Nano Technology 1. The Headless Cheetah. Inspired by the fastest land-animal on Earth, this Cheetah robot aims to help disaster recovery teams locate victims, remove debris, and disassemble some structures. The agile quadruped can run up to 6.4 meters per second, make turns, and hop up onto a chair or a tableup to a height of 60 centimeters. It can also autonomously determine how to avoid or jump over obstacles. Cheetahs creator, MIT Associate Professor Sangbae Kim, anticipates the robot should eventually be able to perform such feats as navigating a contaminated nuclear power plant and even disassemble its parts. Eventually, we hope to develop a machine that can rescue a person, he said. 2. Centauro, a Half-human, Half-horse Scientists at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) deemed that a robust disaster recovery robot needs more than a simple human forma creature with four legs, rolling hooves and anthropomorphic upper body would do better. The result is Centauro, which has greater degrees of freedom and stability than typical quadruped robots. That means it can be more mobile and agile in disaster settings. Centauro can perform some human tasks with its hands, such as manipulating tools and doors, and executing some impressive karate moves. In particular, it can karate chop wood with great precision. Battery powered, 1.5 m tall and weighing 93 kg, it can last for 2.5 hours on a single charge. 3. The Unnamed Robot That Follows Your Gaze Built by New York University Tandon School of Engineering, this little quadcopter doesnt yet have a name but already has a reputationit aims to autonomously inspect the worst type of anthropogenic disasters, such as damaged nuclear reactors, and assess the situation. The drone weighs 236 grams, including batteries, and measures 15 cm in length. It can carry three to four types of cameras, taking images of the site and reconstructing the picture in 3D, essentially acting as a long-distance set of eyes for the rescue crew. If connection is available, it can stream the data right back to the crew; if not, it can gather it for later use.
