do you know that they have in common these
countries
Singapore
thailand
China
Taiwan, Japan
korea
philippines
States- Arab Emirates
Malaysia
Indonesia
Russia
qatar
India
and Costa Rica all of them have been headquarters and
hosts of the World Olympiad of
robotics yes maybe many of you do not
they knew it but our country was the
capital of robotics in the year 2017
more than 65 countries of different
continents more than 3,000 participants
between children and young people of different
countries from different parts of the world
they met here in costa rica and they
They gave an appointment to work around
Robotics theme all solved
problems and challenges where we were
helping the planet in sustainability
and that happened here in costa rica
in costa rica yes and why because
They chose a country like Costa Rica
Well, in Costa Rica, we have many
capabilities and we have developed a lot
the topic of educational robotics from
more than 20 years ago our children
our young people work on issues
related to construction the
programming and control of robots
2017 was a year of first times
for our country for the first time in the
2017 the world robotics Olympiad
he left asia and did not go to any
another country or any other continent
he came to america and came to costa rica
that we are a tiny part of the
center of the continent also for the first
Once a woman organized and was
leading an event of this magnitude
world
several factors intervened so that
our country was in this panel
world first our governments have
bet and have invested in science
in technology in education
children and young people to be part of
this type of projects
our children our youth are
training each day more on topics
related to science technology and
particularly with the theme of
robotics besides this our country is
reference at the region level
Latin American because we have had very
good performance in events of
robotics worldwide
and another first time our country also
of being headquarters will also be
representative in the world council of
the robotic Olympiad
what it meant to us that
implied for costa rica be the
organizer of a caliber event
world of course involved a lot
work involved being in the eyes of the
world for a whole year
implied that we had to lead the
robotic process worldwide but
that also represented that a team of
young ticos engineers were the ones
we develop and those who lead the
challenges that were resolved throughout the
world all year around
theme of robots for sustainability
at this time we already have some
minutes and I mentioned in several
Sometimes the word robotics
but which is robotic or who imagine
you when you hear someone
talks about robotics or robots
possibly and inevitably
we think about the bicentennial man
in arturito and of course in walt and not
I could miss
but if we look in a dictionary the
definition of robotics we will find
a serious definition that says what
next robotics is science or
branch of technology that studies the
design and construction of machines
able to perform tasks performed
by the human being or that require the
use of intelligence
pay attention to this what is the
goal of robotics what is the
target of the robots say what
we want robots that are capable of
perform tasks performed by the being
human that means that robotics
it’s a science that we work for
develop robots that help being
human
a refrigerator a blender one
vacuum cleaner are elements of use
everyday of you and me that we
help help us a lot in our
daily tasks but they will be robots
basically so that an artifact or a
machine is considered a robot must have
the ability to realize what
is happening in your environment should have the
ability to feel through
sensors and to identify the
different elements present in your
ambient
if the robots exist to help the being
human then in what areas do we want
that the robots help us or which ones
tasks we want the robots to do
us and when we think that way
is when sometimes it does not seem so
pretty thing
if you have a car
possibly most of that
vehicle was manufactured by means of
robots
likewise their televisions their
cell phones their computers and
in general many of the elements that
we use that come from the industry
of the plastic have been manufactured by the
robots in our daily lives
we found many elements that have
been manufactured by means of robots
what used to look like science fiction
now it is a reality this is a
reality
it is no longer science fiction to see a
surgical intervention performed
only by robots without the
intervention of a surgeon
then if this is a reality
These figures are shown by the current
international robotics federation
He says that we have a 1.63 million
industrial robots present present
in different production lines in
different areas
if we see the world map we give ourselves
account that the countries that have more
insertion of robots in their lines
production are
singapore south korea and germany
if we analyze Latin America the countries
of our region that have more
presence and greater insertion of robots in
The production lines are Mexico
Argentina and Brazil
in this case we are not talking
precisely from robots that are shaped
human like terminator or like man
bicentennial but robots that through
of arms different tools
utensils perform work
more accurately and in less time
that human beings then yes
we want the robots to help us
because sometimes it gives us as fear it will be
that will displace the human being will be
we will displace did for
that help us will be that they are going to
eliminate when in 2016 foxconn the
Chinese company that designs devices
electronic for apple and samsung
announced that he was going to eliminate 60,000
jobs because I was going to
replace with robots and machines
smart
the greatest fears
at the industrial level and the unions
and you can also imagine
they flourished of course
and we’re going to be replaced by the
machines is like the coconut tale we
they even scare us we’ve all heard
fears of that type
the robots are going to replace the human being
in the not too distant future
if we see some data from the world forum
they tell us that by 2020
5 million jobs within
of the 15 most developed economies
of the planet are going to be replaced by the
robots to 5 million jobs 5
millions of human beings are going to
be unemployed because they are going to be
replaced by robots
and on the other hand
other data and other statistics we
show that with the amount of robots
that we currently have installed in
our industries this has allowed the
creation of 8 million jobs and in
the next few years we will have a
million jobs more generated as a result
of the presence of these robots in the
industrial lines
what does this mean this means
that the presence of robotics in the
industry is allowing us to generate
most skilled jobs robotics the
robots are not moving us
they are simply helping us to change
are migrating the way we work
or places the areas where we work
now we are talking about more jobs
qualified jobs no longer in lines of
production but jobs in the part
technical who will repair who
they are going to build who will control
these robotic lines or these lines
automated
where we found this huge amount
of robots we can mainly
find in industries for example like
the automaker that is the industry with
greater penetration of robots at a level
world is one of the industries that most
bet on automated lines and
for the smart lines of equal
way we currently find
many robots that work in the area of
services improving processes that
they are also repetitive and monotonous for
the human being and the robots are
coming to collaborate with us in
these processes
let’s see some numbers
where are these robots
in this graph we can see the ‘top
ten ‘of the countries that have more
presence of robots in their industries
the experts agree that the best
way to measure it is by measuring the
number of robots present in the
industry for every 10,000 employees
assets then here we can see how
countries south korea singapore germany
Japan Sweden occupy the top five
places for example South Korea that is
the first has a penetration of 631
robots for every 10,000 active employees
there they are still in that list
denmark usa italy belgium taiwan
the Latin American countries we are very
Below average
the average as you can see there is from
74 robots per 10,000 employees
assets and in Latin America the country that
occupies the first place in our region
in Mexico and he barely has 30 robots per
Every 10,000 employees at industrial level
it is followed by Argentina and last Brazil and
costa rica who believe that happens with
our country our country not even
appears on that list
then we want a rich coast-
robotized will be that that’s what
we want or will we be
preparations
in our country we have done things
well we have started from the beginning
we started with the bases we have
formed children to girls to
young people in the area of ​​robotics when
we asked some children and young people in
the national robotic Olympiad that
they want to study when they are big
they responded mechatronics engineering in
electronic computing
I want to be an engineer, I want to be
engineer
what do you think is going to happen
when these children are girls they arrive
to the productive sector of our country
of course we are going to have engineers
that have been formed since its origins
in the area of ​​robotics we are going to have
improvements in our productive system
we are going to have productive systems
specialized robotics and us
we are ready for the next
thank you very much
