A robot prepares to run the Hawaii Ironman
El EVOLTA robot, from the company Panasonic, which three years ago climbed 530 meters in the Grand Canyon of Colorado (USA) with just a pair of batteries, thus breaking all records in the world of robotics, is now ready to take part in the tough triathlon Ironman from hawaii.
El pequeño autómata del tamaño de una mano, creado por Takahashi Tomotaka, pedaleará en bike y correrá a través de una de las rutas de triatlón más duras del mundo equipado con tres cuerpos diferentes y tres baterías recargables, según ha anunciado la compañía. “Esto es muy difícil incluso para un deportista, pero creo que el desafío vale la pena”, asegura Tomotaka. EVOLTA tendrá que recorrer 230 kilómetros. El tiempo que tendrá para completarlo es de una semana o 168 hours, which is ten times more than an athlete would have. “EVOLTA's height is only one-tenth that of an adult man, so we realized that it would take 10 times as long,” Takahashi clarifies. The triathlon challenge begins on October 24 and will continue non-stop for seven days and seven nights.
Takahashi has explained that of the three bodies they will use, which include one on a small bicycle and another on a circular hoop with a rear support wheel, the swimming design - mounted on a curved fin created with its arms extended - was especially complicated. because it had to work submerged in water.
The batteries that the robot carries on its back, which will go on sale in Japan on October 21, can be Reload up to 1.800 times. (muyinteresante.es)
