Madrid, 2 jan (EFE).- Turn off fire by night, to detect landmines, or serve as extremities for children with mobility problems: the robotics is presented today as an ally of the human being in the second edition of the Global trade fair Robot Expo, which began today in Madrid.
the spirit of The event is summed up in that beyond where man can not reach, it reaches the robot, a machine each time more sophisticated, thanks to its combination with sensors and artificial intelligence.
“fears of change are unfounded. We want to globalize this technology, all the world to see that is not here to take away the work or to do us harm, but to help us”, stated to Efe the head of the fair, Enric Forner.
Some of the major challenges of the century, as the aging of the population and the care of dependent persons with problems of mobility or communication, you will find solutions in robotics, according to the ambassador of Japan in Spain, Masahi Mizukami.
The exoskeletons are, in fact, one of the protagonists of the fair. Among them is the CP Walker, a combination of structure articulated and walker that is oriented to the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy and that has already been tested in the Niño Jesús Hospital of Madrid.
“The limit is the beginning” is the motto of this edition of the event and a sort of mantra for a team of students from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (eastern Spain) that works to give shape to Hyperloop, the transport means consists of a capsule that will travel 1,200 km/h.
The group has already won two competitions on the design and the propulsion system, and in June he went to a third contest with a prototype capsule for a single traveler who, instead of relying on the repulsion to the ground, it works with a pull system on the roof.
And for the transport of the future to the management of mental dystopian: Altran already has a system that allows you to control machines with thought thanks to the detection of the brain waves.
less spectacular in the eyes of the visitor, but of relevance capital in the industry are the robots that are used in the factories and cease to be dangerous machines and isolated to go to work elbow with elbow with the human template.
“The robots collaborative make the operations dangerous and more tedious. For example, in the sector of the automation, screwing, sanding or greasing. While, the human is in charge of the work of skill and quality control, those that require intelligence,” says the ceo of the company’s Collaborative System Group, Victor Peacock.
The binomial man-machine is also essential in the philosophy of the company Urbanclouds: in addition to having designed a cart of cleaning smart to reduce the effort of the cleaners, their sensors of air quality will travel in the spring in the carts of the postmen Post of Málaga (southeast) to detect the pollution problems and the routes cleanest in the andalusian city.
Global Robot Expo also seeks to show that robotics is especially useful in those environments in which the human integrity is in danger.
The robot Mine Explorer, the company Etbolution System, is a system for the detection of explosives teleoperated used to clean “very accurately” zones in which the war has left a minefield. In a day, you can comb 5,000 square meters.
For its part, the proposal of NF Advanced Engineering is a fleet of drones to turn off the forest fires at night, which is when “the more damage it can do to the fire.” Each unmanned aircraft could carry 3,000 liters of water and reach in two hours any point of the mediterranean basin.
The Centre for Automatic and Robotics of the Centre for Higher Scientific Research also addresses the risk in a project of simulation of limit situations with the aim to help the security forces and bodies in their workouts: combining virtual reality and a vest reproducing the physical condition to the face when there’s a fire or a terrorist attack.
the More prosaic, but it sure object of desire for more than one, they are cleaning robots present in the Global Robot Expo, that go a step beyond the classic vacuum cleaners and adecentan the glass of the windows, leave the barbecue grill as a prop or cut the grass.
The second edition of the fair will be open in its first two days for professional assistants and for all kinds of audiences on Saturday, when it will host a film festival of drones. EFE
