A few years ago – no more than three or four – we couldn't have imagined that Aeronautics and robotics they were going to burst into our lives in the way they are doing. And even more so considering that, as everything suggests, we are only at the beginning.
It is common knowledge that technological advancements do not progress linearly but exponentially. The influence of each innovation in its field of influence is immense, in turn creating the necessary breeding ground for new innovations. There is always a multiplier effect.
If we consider the advances that have taken place separately in both aeronautics and robotics, imagine what they could do together.
The aerospace industry It is no exception to this fact. There are constant advances in design, structures, systems, materials, software, processes, etc. Each new aircraft uses the innovations of its predecessors (at least those from the same manufacturer) while at the same time generating a legacy of several hundred other new ones.
Most of those innovations tend to remain confined within the industry itself, although we mustn't lose sight of the fact that the End users They are the ones who ultimately benefit from each innovation.
One of the aeronautical advances that has been influencing society globally the most in recent times is the development of Unmanned aerial platforms, also known as UAVs, RPAS or drones.
Beyond the novelty of seeing a small artefact guided by ourselves fly, there are the possibilities it offers. It's not just a matter of leisure, but companies in all sectors have already included it in their work plans Analyse all possible applications of these devices that can bring a benefit to your business.
Parcel delivery, surveillance, fire detection, disaster area assistance and aid, filming, searches, security, inspections in hazardous environments, pest control, and an almost endless list of potential applications are part of the world that is opening up before us all.
The other variable we need to incorporate is the Robotics, which, in the same way, has entered homes and industries to make possible those things we only saw in the cinema until very recently. Practically in any company or home we find robots that make our lives easier.
But what if we combine aeronautics and robotics?
We invite you to read a magnificent article published by BBC News that addresses these topics: What jobs will flying robots do in the future?
