The robot announced in China, operating on a vertical wall of a building.
Because it receives continuous power, it can operate non-stop 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Breakthrough was announced in China.
The supposed first humanoid robot with “embedded intelligence”, designed to perform high-risk industrial tasks, is already at work.
The advance was announced at China. The system was developed to work in contexts such as the construction and maintenance of chemical storage tanks, and promises to accelerate the replacement of human workers in dangerous environments.
Weighing around 90 kilos, the robot differentiates itself by combining a mobile structure with a humanoid upper torso, which allows it to work on vertical surfaces. To do this, it uses a magnetic base with wheels, capable of adhering to walls and moving with stability on inclined or vertical structures.
The configuration makes it suitable for tasks that, until now, often required working at height and human exposure to dangerous substances or adverse conditions, explains Chinese television.
Unlike previous generations of robots of this kind, typically limited to a single repetitive function, this new machine would have been designed as a multifunctional platform. You can play precision welding, rust removal, sanding and routine inspections.
According to information released by the channel, the robot has 15 degrees of freedom and two armsapproaching the maximum flexibility of human movements. It also has a artificial intelligence (AI) system trained with 100 thousand hours of data, to understand the environment, adapt to scenarios and progressively improve, with experience.
The project also includes a cable power system, designed to overcome the energy limitations of conventional mobile robots. Instead of relying on batteries, the machine receives continuous energy: can operate without interruption 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without stopping for recharging.
The tests took place at a large chemical storage facility and point to possible future use in shipyards, refineries and other heavy infrastructure.
The Chinese State has increasingly invested in the humanoid market, which could reach 7.5 billion dollars by 2050according to .
