Robot Technology
Do you know Russia is one of the world leaders in developing new robot technology?
Spotlight on Russia takes a closer look at robot technology and the latest achievements being made in Russia
Russia has always been a world leader in developing new technology.
Recently, the country has also distinguished itself in developing robot technology. A nowfamous robot, the R.BOT 100, was the brainchild of a Moscow company, 3Detection Labs, which was set up in 2005.
Since then, the R.BOT 100 has revolutionised the classroom. How? Not by replacing the teacher, as you might expect, but by ‘standing in’ for sick pupils.
In 2011, a Twelve-year-old Moscow schoolboy, Stepan Supin, was confined to his home by a serious illness. But that didn’t mean he had to miss lessons. Stepan could interact with his classmates and teacher via his home computer thanks the R.BOT 100’s telepresence technology; this includes a webcam, microphone, speakers and an Internet link. Apart from being Stepan’s eyes and ears in the classroom, the robot was also called Stepan by his classmates. They thought it was a bit strange at first but soon got used to having his ‘double’ around.
It’s not only sick children who benefit from robots like these. Under the ‘Erbot’ project, people with disabilities can also find them an invaluable way of working from home. For example, by hooking up with a robot using remote control, a disabled person could work as a store consultant giving customers information and advice. Housebound people are also enabled to ‘travel’ and experience other places. They can ‘visit’ the White Nights Festival in St Petersburg or the Roman Colosseum and feel they are actually there!
