A Robot Was Developed by Petrobras to Paint Flat and Vertical Platforms. According to a Project Developer, Service Executed by Robot “Prevents Workplace Accidents”.

Petrobras developed a machine capable of painting flat and vertical platforms. The technology was developed in partnership with the Senai Institute of Innovation in Joinville (SC). The apparatus was “named” painter robot and is in the licensing phase to become a commercial product.

According to the oil company, the tests conducted on the hull of the P-35 resulted in an 88% reduction in human exposure to risk and an 84% decrease in maintenance costs.” The P-35 platform is located in the Campos Basin, Rio de Janeiro.

In the trials conducted with the robot, they managed to reduce the number of people involved in the activity to six, compared to the old model that required 20 people, considering the entire onboarding process and equipment mobilization for painting.

For André Koebsch, one of the project’s developers, the innovation brings gains in safety, environment, and health, since the “service executed by robot prevents workplace accidents, as the system is operated via a control panel”.

André reiterated that the task with the machine “is less dependent on sea conditions, so in the future, the potential for productivity gains may be even greater”.

In the future, the state-owned company intends to transfer the technology to suppliers, aiming for “maximum application in platform maintenance”.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

New noise radar starts to penalize irregular exhaust, excessive sound, and modified vehicles, and the technology is already changing the enforcement of noisy motorcycles and cars in Taiwan.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.
