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.

From The Ocean Floor To Space Missions

Safety And Maneuverability

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

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.

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.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

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.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

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.

Toyota bets on a hydrogen scooter with removable cartridges that can be swapped in seconds and tries to solve the biggest bottleneck of clean vehicles: the lack of refueling stations.

A “hole” in Earth’s magnetic shield that passes over Brazil intrigues scientists, and a new study shows that it emerged in the Indian Ocean around the year 1000, migrated across Africa, and reached America, repeating a path that another anomaly had already taken 1,000 years earlier.

Experts say AI could take over 80% of tasks at work, but highlight the 20% that still save jobs

Scientists measured for the first time the mass of a black hole at the beginning of the universe and discovered that it alone accounts for two-thirds of everything around, with 50 million times the mass of the Sun, as if the galaxy was being born after it.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?
