Robotics is playing a pivotal role in transforming the way we work and know the world today. From production lines to office environments, robots are emerging as key contributors to the world of work, revolutionising efficiency, productivity and the very nature of our daily tasks.
While so-called automatons have been around since as early as the 4th century BC, we could date the emergence of modern robotics to the early 20th century. It was in the 1950s that engineer George Devol and scientist Joseph Engelberger created "Unimate", the first industrial robot.
Since the advent of Unimate, many advances have been made in the field of robotics, such as the emergence of programmable robots in the 1970s, the rise of personal robotics in the 1990s, and collaborative robotics and exoskeletons in the 21st century.
Today, advances in Autonomous Robotics and Artificial Intelligence have given rise to autonomous vehicles, drones, or autonomous robots that are already transforming entire industries and changing the way we interact with technology.
While some fear that robotics may replace jobs, it is also creating new job opportunities. Robot creation, maintenance and programming are growing fields that require specialised skills.
In addition, robotics is driving the emergence of new industries. From the development of assistive robots in healthcare to the programming of drones for various applications. The ability to adapt and learn about these technologies will be essential for the worker of the future.
#ARQUIMEA, from its research centre located in the Canary Islands, has a research orbital from which it is committed to highly dynamic and efficient robotics for the creation of technology focused on human-robot physical interaction with applications in health, mobility, space, defence or entertainment.
In addition, all ARQUIMEA Research Center projects belong to the #QCIRCLE project, co-funded by the European Union, which aims to create a centre of scientific excellence in Spain.
