All-seeing eye
The robots in the Viewfinder swarm are designed to head into an unknown situation before any humans do, feeding information back to their operators in a secure base station. One of their most important jobs is simply to look around - they're fitted with cameras to help assess the interior of buildings.
A search-and-rescue team might have a detailed map of a building, but if it's been partially destroyed, they won't know if a particular route is still open. Viewfinder robots can help reconstruct the map.
