Hyundai Steel Co. is making robots that resemble animals, and these were already recognized by the World Steel Association. These robots were designed for safety in industrial sites.
It was reported that many companies are already investing in these types of robots to minimize and prevent human casualties in industrial workplaces. The country has also implemented new industrial safety laws thus, the addition of these machines is even more necessary.
Currently, Hyundai Steel is testing animal robots that were created in the form of dogs, snakes, and others. These will be deployed in the production facilities, and they are expected to stand guard and watch over the place.
The main aim of their presence is to avoid accidents and injuries involving human workers. As everyone knows, companies are often held legally liable for such unfortunate occurrences in the workplace. The Korea Herald reported that the robots could also help prevent damage in case of disasters.
Hyundai Steel’s robots are called “Spot,” and they can perform many tasks for industrial safety, such as checking if the oxygen gas valves are shut, closed or open. It can also inspect areas that may be dangerous or pose safety risks. With these abilities, the machines can help prevent secondary disasters like fires and explosions that could hurt factory workers.
With its developments and investments in robots for safety in the workplace, Hyundai Steel Co. has been recognized by the World Steel Association. It won the process safety management award from the association for its Spot creation.
The robot dog will be installed with fas sensors and cameras using the Internet of Things. It will also have artificial intelligence technologies, which will be the main processor that will allow the machine to keep people safe, especially in times of accidents. Later, the plan is to deploy the robots in at least 156 facilities and 2,927 confined work areas.
“We are putting safety as the highest priority and are applying various technologies on-site,” Korea Joongang Daily quoted Hyundai Steel as saying in a statement. “We will make more efforts to create a much safer working environment.”
