1. A robot for detecting and saving a life comprising:
a body part including a plurality of unit joints extending in a length direction;
a non-extendible head part which is provided at a front of the body part in a direction where the body part moves forward and includes a gripper capable of picking up an object by a plurality of tongs parts which are folded and unfolded, each of which includes sensors or modules performing different functions,
the non-extendible head part having a cylindrical shape and comprising a plurality of injection holes formed on an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical shape; and
an extension part extended independently without being linked to the plurality of tongs parts and provided to extend forward from the non-extendible head part so as to enter a small space that is difficult for the body part to enter, with provision of a supply line supplying water and nutrients inside to provide water and nutrients to the survivor upon detection of the survivor.
