The World Of Robotics Will Never Be The Same. Surge Velox, A Game Changer That Is Redefining The Concept Of Terrestrial And Marine Exploration.

With flexible fins resembling those of rays and millipedes, this robot is a true phenomenon, capable of moving easily both on land and in water.

Originally designed to generate electricity from rivers, the flexible fins now propel the Velox with impressive swimming abilities. The robot is not only versatile; it is also a landmark success in green energy, reimagined as an innovative propulsion system.

Velox: The First Skating Robot In The World

But wait, there’s more! Did you know that Velox is also the first robot in the world capable of skating on ice? That’s right, thanks to the principles of anisotropic friction, it glides over ice with an elegance that would make any Olympic athlete feel humble.

From The Ocean Floor To Space Missions

The applications of Velox are vast and exciting. We’re talking about exploration in deep waters, rescues in icy areas, wildlife filming, and even extraterrestrial missions, such as NASA’s exploration of Europa. It’s a lot of technology and innovation in one package!

Safety And Maneuverability

Besides being a technological marvel, the flexible and undulating fins of Velox offer unparalleled maneuverability and safety. It is the ideal choice for studying and mapping challenging environments, whether in the depths of the ocean or in the most rugged terrains.

Safety And Maneuverability

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Federal state-owned companies accumulate a record deficit of R$ 5.9 billion in just 4 months, the worst result for the period since 2002, while Correios faces a loss of R$ 8.5 billion and financial restructuring.

In 2026, Brazil became the number one destination for Chinese capital abroad, with 52 megaprojects totaling 6.1 billion dollars in mining, railways, energy, and ports, in a silent advance that could compromise national logistics corridors.

Selling cooking gas in smaller portions and refilling cylinders of any brand are proposals under review by the ANP that divide the sector, with resellers promising cheaper prices for consumers and the Ministry of Mines and Energy warning of risks of fraud and infiltration of factions in the market.

22-carat gold may be hidden in household items treated as scrap, while Swiss scientists use whey to recover the precious metal and pave the way for new sustainable urban mining.

NASA has just tested a “giant” the size of a car that could change everything in the lunar race: a fuel cell that turns water into energy and then recharges itself, without any refueling from Earth. See how it works.
