While this can be good, they need to get far smaller.

For example, some rodents are fast and very versatile, able to scramble through very small holes, and intelligent enough to figure out how to overcome obstacles.

Remember that they can dig holes, have acute vision, smell and hearing, and respond very well to training.

They could likely be trained to give different responses to finding a living or dead person, important in a collapsed structure. And a small, lightweight camera and transmitter could even be put in their body, with only a fiber optic “lens” exposed.
