Brazil Designs Robot for Petrochemical Industry
The project of building a robot with 100% Brazilian technology, capable of operating both in fresh and seawater, and that may serve any sector of the naval and environmental industry is the newest challenge of Armtec-Tecnologia em Robótica, in partnership with the University of Fortaleza.
Engineer Roberto Macêdo, the organization's owner, has already developed a robot to aid in the work of firemen (shown at left).
Among the differentials of this project are a positioning system to maintain stability amidst sea currents and the capacity to move in all directions, "better than a fish" says Macedo.
The idea is to build a non-manned submarine to execute different tasks like the analysis of the extension of an environmental disaster, checking for leaks and damages in the structure of a vessel and make the necessary repairs.
