Robotics can be used for extreme environments. Our planet is becoming more and more vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters. Such events are inevitable because of the increasingly connected world of modern transportation and the faster movement of people. It is important to quickly understand how to prevent disasters and help victims in the first few hours when emergency assistance can save lives. Development of robotic technology in extreme environments such as B. Nuclear inspection and decommissioning, offshore energy and maintenance, space exploration and deep mining have received considerable attention in recent years.
Robotics for agriculture. The United Nations predicts that the world's population will reach 10 billion by 2050. This will increase the demand for agricultural products by more than 30%. The magnitude of the challenge is exacerbated by the workforce and the availability (or lack) of natural resources. Therefore, advances in science and technology (such as agricultural robots) remain the only way to drive the third agricultural revolution. Agricultural robots powered by GNSS, SatEO and Satcom technologies are ready to be at the heart of the Third Agricultural Revolution. By maximizing yields, optimizing the use of natural resources, and increasing farmers' value creation, rather than driving them out.
Robotics for infrastructure monitoring. Over the last few decades, a significant number of sensors and detection systems have been developed to monitor and assess the condition of structures. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an essential component in civil engineering for the safety and completeness of structures such as buildings, bridges, power plants, marine structures and tunnels. State-of-the-art sensors, automation, and robotics will greatly accelerate the automation of construction of infrastructure systems. Robots specifically designed for SHM applications have only recently been developed and are equipped with a unique mobility system that provides mobility to the structure under inspection.
Robotics for social care. While there are many successful innovations at the forefront of social care, the underutilization of both medical and digital technologies can have a revolutionary impact on how and how health care is delivered. It means that there is a real opportunity to create a new wave of innovation in which patients interact with specialists to manage their health and care. Robots and autonomous systems, along with AI, connected data, and digital infrastructure, have the potential to revolutionize the way social and medical care is delivered to the elderly and disabled.
