a special edition of your own max with a focus on the ocean i'm your host meghan lee is that look at what we've got in store for you today. a free diver explores the deep blue sea. ant a dutch form a shaft that brings the taste of the ocean to the table. how long can you hold your breath. well on average most people only manage one or 2 minutes but with the right training you can increase that quite a bit the current record is over 24 minutes held by a free diver now they explore the oceans without using oxygen tanks and fun but it sure did didn't start free diving until she was 37 years old but she's still among the world's best while we met up with her to find out more.

i'm not fun but the deep blue sea is an enchanted world where she feels absolutely free. she's of free time that means she died without oxygen tanks and she's one of the world's best. what's unique about free diving is that you're completely on your own of the it's just you against nature and yourself. on things maybe even in the ultimate sense in the final consequence in a little consequence. free divers have to master a special breathing technique which allows them to dive deep on a single breath. and are caught up on their your body realizes oh you're under water coming up you can't breathe so you have to conserve oxygen if you're going to

survive the 1st your pulse drops your heart rate slows down and your metabolism slows radically and less energy is used when you're in everything is geared towards saving oxygen and keeping you alive as long as possible. before diving and i concentrates on storing up as much oxygen in her lungs as possible. some phrase or i just push themselves beyond their limits and risk physical harm freediving is an extreme sport and not to be taken lightly. locals music was our greatest risk is losing consciousness when you hold your breath you can always lose consciousness and then if you're in the water and that happens and nobody is there to pull you out. you drown so we keep an eye on each other. and i was already an experienced diver when she took

a course in free diving in 2007 within just 6 months but she said 3 german records the same year she brought home brawlers from the world championships in egypt and. back home in berlin she trains 3 or 4 times a week many free divers take up yoga and various meditation techniques but ana prefers cross fit a grueling food body training program that pushes her to her limits. on up north. i'm a free diver so i've only got one breath and i need muscle condition that can work without using a lot of oxygen and i'm making very good progress with cross from course so. her approach to life is to take the new path she briefly traded her neoprene diving

suit for a laptop. in may 2019 and accomplished her 1st book it's an athlete's biography but also much more besides. i'm actually quite the opposite of a diver and i have one line that is too small of the thing and i'm not an especially good swimmer i've got so many things that should stop me but i'm still quite a success at it and i've been one of the world's best for over 10 years now that's a story that should encourage everyone to approach life with an open mind that we've been through this. in cyprus now she has to concentrate. on. the if you show through to the best is the plan for me is free diving with a mano fan and i dived 81 metres deep with one in 2013 who i'd like to try again

and see if i can make it down just one more metre but that would be really really great recession. with me she succeeds or not and if on but it sure has found her own happiness in the ocean depths. most people prefer to go to the beach 1st sunshine blue skies and a pleasant temperatures but others love the turbulent sea after a storm when the tide is wild for the british official for rachel tell apart it can't get stormy enough and thanks to her photos even those at home can enjoy the drama of the ocean. when the sea churns in wales when the tides come in and gales with the water that's when british

way photographer rachel ton of art springs into action. i'm just going to watch the way stressed i'm a show off. on the beaches of england south east coast she takes spectacular photos of the sea as if she were out in the midst of it. but she says out there she get seasick. a lot of people often say to me oh you must been in a boat you look as if you're after see i'm not is the look i want to get you and i remember how it feels to be right house at sea with no land in sight and just waves around here and i think that's what i'm trying to illustrate in a lot of my photographs but from the shore. photographing waves

means dealing with a constantly changing subject. so if you can see that if you get one really big right the next to immediately after it at this speech and at many beaches will force a be big. so you get people who see the 1st before i take the picture and then they're looking at the camera there's 2 more coming. rachael ton of truth international attention with her photo series sirens she took the pictures during especially intense storms involving winds up to 150 kilometers per hour and waves as high as 15 meters it was the 8th of february tragedy 60 which are storm images and i spent the day here exactly where we are now and it was 6 hours of utterly exhausting it's really pretty and photographer. she gave every wave she photographed for the series

a name taken from athol aji. limon poseidon making the giant waves seem like raging gaunts or demons. if you freeze the sea at a really fast shutter speed a 1000th of a 2nd or thereabouts there are amazing shapes and this is an example this one is called loki the norse trickster god looks like he's having a good laugh. if she's out during a real storm and she lies right on the sand to achieve greater stability then she can use her telephoto zoom lens to capture waves of 200 meters away. you have to adopt really uncomfortable poses like this lying on a shingle for a long time getting as low down as possible makes the razor bigger because the horizon goes down and the wave stands up above the horizon and so really makes all

the difference in the world. rachel tyler bards black and white photos have won her many awards but she doesn't always dispense with color. i just thought it was so simple it was just about light catching that wave in that moment i didn't want the distraction of color color for this one because the green in that way if i just thought it was so lovely and i didn't find this wave scary it was more beautiful and that's probably because it's actually moving across the frame so it's not threatening me in any way. the photographer has always loved to seize mysterious and an earthly qualities but she also senses that now it poses an entirely new kind of menace i spent a lifetime looking at the sea and that this coast i'm not a scientist but it. fails to mate at the end of severe storms on this case

has grown which from a photographic perspective based quite exciting thought is obviously also has other ramifications more worrying. that when the sea becomes smooth and trunk and time it's time for rachel tom the party to head home again. seaweed on the beach is seen as a nuisance by most people especially if you're on vacation but for dutch chef edwin vega it serves as colon area gold in fact he collects it for his main dishes now seaweed in asian cuisine has long been commonplace now it's also popular in european kitchens thanks to its nutritional value and its diversity and once you see how to use it for his were made creations well you might become inspired to.

the taste of the sea fleet adorned with algae and mussels edwin vink is cuisine is based on local maritime ingredients. a life without the sea a large. project says hunt picked by thinking. today think in his friend john cranston visiting the north sea coast in the netherlands. drink is the only person in this region who holds an official permit to harvest the algae. drink a sample everything immediately. these are this is japanese. berry we see we were dry and i want is the right even more intense with even more. basting like like the sea. so this is really this is not my favorite but this is really great the great if we think it puts his creative skills to good use at his restaurant the guy located right near the shore so we started this with all the

different kinds of seaweed. this is the rolls royce between august this is. when you make like something like oil or something from less there's like white for. you know your struggles in the kitchen but this is my peripheral. to the think it prepares is cooked with salt water from the sea filtered and boiled of course to kill off any bacteria. you see what happens if. the water reduced the salt in the water is on the potato and then you have this sulky potato. and so simple. the menu features mostly fish and shellfish and think you use a c.v.s. visitor ships would use vegetables. much easier is the sea the sea water so people come here to taste the sea to experience the sea when you walk around here you smell the sea i want to have this

on your plate. mussels are a favorite item on the menu because suitable 20 different varieties depending the season. willful thing about it is they all have their own taste one of them sweet one of them has a bit of a sour so i would have all those different kinds of taste that we have that is bringing another extra dimension on the shelves. or like on the shelf see which but you have to taste them all before you know what which one are the best and then you have to test them out so if the company have to make them have to make power over it they have to eat it raw if you want so it was a long time. think it has finally developed to sweeten something to search the roast see combines it with the big chocolate mousse red bean paste and.

this is remind you of the wrong north sea coast this is. just one back from a pond so it's about the japanese it was. very important that people come in here one day leave the table have to be fit you have to be tired i would try to do to make it as clear as possible that's healthy as possible so we don't know a sure winner in our dishes also like japanese you know you're sure we was funny we have our own bees in the. so i would try to make our kitchen as light as possible and as healthy as possible because it's very important it would think it has made a name for himself as a chef who prepares fresh nor seem greedy and served an innovative company. professional cliff diver has been hearing herself off rugged ledges for almost 15

years while sometimes from a height of up to 20 metres and through these daring feeds she's become one of europe's most successful cliff divers we met up with her in switzerland on the edge of a cliff no less. 3 seconds that's all she's got then on a batter hits the water at a speed of about 85 kilometers an hour. cliff diving its cliff diving gives me this great sense of freedom up there on on my own or sort of untouchable me and when i take off and i'm in the advantage that is a moment of weightlessness that's what freedom feels like to me yes this is not my head i'm. one of europe's most popular cliff diving locations is near the swiss village of ponta brother.

telling off his vital since cliff divers cannot afford to slip they hit the water at such high speeds that the water surface can act like concrete that's why they always into the water feet 1st. hitting the surface at a bad angle after a 20 meter drop is like being in a fairly serious traffic accident resulting in broken bones sprains and dislocated joints but this mainly happens to novice divers injury rates for professionals are fairly though. the un facilities and say here's essential it helps us to a focused and avoid becoming reckless. a few is generally a good thing for us and we need to prepare ourselves mentally before they die and then vision the jump in our minds. for them in the end i also do breathing exercises that were really centered when we go thanks but one thing i would ask.

cliff diving is an adrenaline rush on a batter practices yoga during training and at competitions to stay calm and focused. on her partner chris coleman. this is also a professional cliff diver together they have 2 children to keep fit nation family life in balance they often train together but being a parent and an extreme athlete is not always easy. also like well so yes. i'm worried about her because you know before if you're single you're responsible if you're so but you know ever think what you do there are whole form. that's really not that i have a family i have less time to train and prepare for competition and. that's why i decided to slow down a little and do easy

a jump after the split still even in 2017 i achieved better results than ever before. as a child and i did gymnastics springboard diving and later platform diving but that all changed one day and she was on vacation. as exists in babylon i was 17 i was on vacation in jamaica and there were these locals typing off the cliff by rick's cafe if that's rick's cafe and there was a platform for tourists to jump from the list and so i did that platforms we don't have it and a local said you have that all your professional lady to come over and dive with us and that was my cliff diving debut. here in front of rama on a bonders cliff diving career took off in 2005 for many years she was the only woman in the sport and had to compete against men no provisions had ever been made for female contenders with good demand there are plenty of

a high level competition that's what many more opportunities to train and die and that's especially great for us women it was always my dream even when i just started out that that eventually being real competitions to take part in it. her dream has come true but on a bond is not finished yet when faced with a challenge she's always ready to take the plunge. about 20 years ago bad advice from munich who was looking for an outdoor sport that suited him but he had no luck so he decided to create one for himself he called it c trekking and he combined his love for the ocean travel and adventure in a unique way will see truckers rely on their own physical endurance while exploring the coasts rejoined him at one of his workshops in croatia.

see truckers get to enjoy a deserted beach is breathtaking bays and stunning underwater landscapes. they explore gorgeous coastline it's like diving hiking and swimming. with the leaves to me personally the ocean is a sheer bengal a sixpence. it's a space you can never conquer and it's this intangibility that draws me out there again and again. that's absolute freedom. absolutely. then how it is a sea trekking pioneer 20 years ago he was the 1st to swim from one tiny island to the next these days he offers workshops where he teaches others about the sport today he's on the croatian island of press giving a sea trekking course with free diver nikolai lender most participants are familiar

with water sports which helps. the y. in the uk so the. workshops like these highlight different aspects of sea trekking. you know. such as planning your routes the equipment needed and of course the way you move underwater. i did think. it's not a lot like swimming in open waters or free diving. would see tracking your movements are result of the expanse of the sea. one of the most important pieces of kit is a kind of waterproof backpack it was developed by bernhardt himself see truckers use it to transport everything they need drinking water clothing food sleeping mats and sneaking back. you may look at significant taking. about 10 liters of drinking water. though i'll have to rearrange it in my pack so it won't get in my way when

i'm swimming later on. once everything is packed the backpack is inflated now it has a streamlined shape and can be pulled behind the seat trekkers without much effort . this 3 day workshop only features a short trip to a nearby bay further down the coast all participants sleep out in the open. and we're not really all that nervous i just hope i won't be cold because we'll probably be going for 23 hours i think a lot of but if i don't mind the weather because we'll be in the water or diving most of the time i hope. the weather and the underwater currents are important factors to consider sea trackers sometimes swim several kilometers per day and occasionally put in free diving stops. you can go see trekking pretty much anywhere of course we had to wild coastal

regions because there's such an incredible gift and experience of nature. lonely islands where no one else ever goes. you spend the night in the jungle and the next day you dive right back in to the coral reefs. the workshop participants swim about 2 kilometers to a bait that can only be reached by water. during a sudden rain shower they set up their camp and make a fire. if they can see trekking is all about being in nature though giving something back it's such a gift to be able to carry it through. unfortunately the next day the weather has worsened and swimming back through the. he waives he's hard work.

but once they've made it everyone's really happy. on the guy this was a great tour even though the sea was a bit rough i have to say this was a great trip for a long long time ago we learned a lot they showed us a lot of things it's alright i'll go and find some way to see tracking is an exceptional way of getting around i definitely do it again that is a good fellow. and after this nature trip most participants are also happy to return to civilization. yet. and with that we wrap up this special edition of euro max now don't forget to follow us on facebook or go to our own website to see the reports again as always thanks for tuning in o.c. against him.

plane . this is do we have news like from our land pope francis celebrating a story class in the iraqi city of arab all thousands of faithful descended on the city's friends o'henry stadium for a chance to see the politics bus after francis made an impassioned annunciation of religious fanaticism in a former islam a state strong cult also coming up. a british or a new woman jailed over the disputed spying charges is released from house arrest and tehran to the u.k. is insisting she be. allow him to return to britain instead of facing

a new court date and around. town called come to the show pope francis has held mass and in front of $10000.00 in the city of erbil it marks the high point of his historic trip to iraq which is the 1st ever by a pope the pontiff has been touring the northern cities of arable and mosul the one time stronghold of islamic state much of the region was under i asked control just 4 years ago before liberation by iraqi and international troops. despite iraq's looked into calm but rising covert 19 cases the crowds could be contained with pope francis and. in erbil 10 photos and flocked to see him see his last moments of what he's calling his papa stole the journey. you. know the time

draws near for my return to rome. but iraq will always remain with me in my heart quoted earlier the crowds lined his intensely secured motorcade route incur a cost once home to 55000 christians before they were driven out by the self-proclaimed islam extinct who burned and run so much of the city. the. conditions are much better know than before everything is not as it used to be because all the buildings and everything have been reconstructed but no we are very happy. reconstructed almost from scratch this church welcome to some of the displaced believers who have chosen to return. we trust in god. together with all people of goodwill we say no to terrorism and to the manipulation of religion. francis also visited the heart of what was once i controlled

iraq the city of mosul where he offered words and symbols of peace it is always wrong he said to hate kill or wage war in god's name. journalist owen holdaway is an arab oil and joins me now many historic and symbolic firsts there for the pope on this trip to iraq what is his message to the people in the country i think essentially it's something else when he said peace and unity between it and he also maybe the message. which is part of. the 1st papal visit ever it is of course hugely significant for christians and iraq what does it really mean for that though do they expect to see a lasting change coming from this. i mean i think particularly the visit

here in northern iraq you know to characterise those sort of areas were very important because there kristie been as you were completely devastated when i as took over mosul and parts of nineveh so i think his message to them is the christians here all it's a move broadly you know that this it will blow it up i think good effect on and i'm a community and an interfaith sort of ground that will politically you know it's not going to disarm the militias it's not going to stop this. there were operational in certain areas of this country more than the urban areas but they stuck past and so you know although although it has a that's a strong element on the cultural and on the community level i don't think but it is going to be the political situation in iraq and the power was there to spread a positive message to call for coexistence all of that in the midst of a pandemic what are iraqis saying about the message he is sending by holding mass for thousands of people. i mean to be honest the pandemic has been very much on the

played on you know actually probably sort it was very few people wearing moss and it's very difficult social distancing the event the fun of it then at the. stadium you know the attention being a suit that's for your benefit you know just wants the visit at the. big 4 if you want to buy. something about 40000 deaths so i mean it's got the potential to really really decimate an already very much decimated in healthcare healthcare system so you know it's. going forward. and what is security like this is after all a volatile really. young enough to be coming up north which was to form our stronghold you know going to mozambique out of. you know not operational and but it does have something in the letters that being said the massive level of security particularly by the federal government which which which

which would secure the most of them in countries transport would send carol force you know sort of a i was the only species been under a very very very tight watch so you know talk with nothing's happened don't think i think the authorities that dealt with security on kind of security gate very well our whole the way many thanks. now let's get you up to speed on some other stories making news around the world at this hour a police officer in the u.s. city of rochester new york has been suspended after a video was released showing the violent arrest of a black woman with a 3 year old child the woman was tackled to the ground and pepper sprayed officers accused her of shoplifting which she denied police in the same city were also filmed pepper spraying a 9 year old girl in january. in myanmar and tens of thousands of people demonstrated across the country against the military coup that took place just over a month ago security forces once again used violence to disperse peaceful

protesters in several cities the minutes of silence were held in honor of demonstrators killed in the end rest. of queen elizabeth has praised frontline health care workers in her speech to mark commonwealth day the queen also talked about the importance of staying in touch with friends and family during the pandemic the broadcast comes hours before a much anticipated t.v. interview with prince harry and macon the duchess of sussex. around has released british iranian aid worker nods and means of garri radcliffe from house arrest for them and to her 5 year sentence over disputed spying charges she was jailed in 2016 for allegedly plotting to overthrow the regime in the islamic republic the case has become a matter of major diplomatic disagreement between britain and iran iran has repeatedly detained foreigners and jewel nationals on charges campaigners and governments say are unfounded. here's how until neal is a pool of the c.e.o.

of the thomson reuters foundation and ari radcliffe former employer reacted to the news. it's a positive development let's put it this way but he's also with a certain extent than expected though because it's the end of a 5 year term prison prison sentence and so she was due some sort of information so some development was expected in the fact that the uncle to. come off the set especially especially let's get more on that from our correspondent in london charland shell some filter let this has been a longstanding source of tensions between the u.k. and iran has arisen any official reaction from london. that's right this is just the latest stage in this ongoing story there has been reaction from the prime minister here and the foreign minister let me read you what the foreign minister tweeted 1st he said we welcome the removal of nelson is

a car iraq lives and but it won't continue treatment of her is intolerable she must be allowed to return to the u.k. as soon as possible to be reunited with her family now the prime minister then following that up with his own statement on twitter also calling describing her continued to confinement in his words as totally unacceptable he said the u.k. will do everything it can to ensure that she is released permanently but of course the government now faces a challenge as to how it is going to respond to the news that although she has been released from house arrest her 5 year sentence has come to an end there is once again a lot of concern and see about her fate it's not known exactly what the court summons next week will mean and there are a lot of questions about whether or not or when she will be allowed to return to her family back in the u.k. . this might not be the end of her ordeal tell us why she's being summoned to court

again. yeah i think what it will deal with thing it has support is of course family would agree with that this is been awful experience i had of been several she had several hunger strikes during her time in prison separated from his family a lot of uncertainty as well and this now looks set to continue at least into the next week now her husband who has come pain of relentless people over the last 5 years has said that this is a mixed day for him they of course welcome the fact that she has now been released from house arrest but they just don't know what happens next so the agony for the family continues sister north saying in an interview on british television that they will have a lot of sleepless nights ahead because indeed it is not yet known what this something could iran level some of the charges at the british iranian aid worker

which could see where main in iran a while longer a child and children fill in london thank you very much. now psychedelic rock hasn't been popular in turkey says the 1970s but that may be about to change of unguarded rocker. leaving a rocker bible with her own blend of musical styles and poetic commentary this together with her fight for women's rights as made her one of the most exciting young voices in turkey. a mini bus ride through a parallel universe and a woman. is in the driver's seat. she loves to bring together traditions and modernity that sounds she revived psychedelic rock sound that was lost truly popular in turkey in the 1970 s.

controlled pleading. burns and blisters. it can even lead to bone marrow failure even today anyone who ventured too close to fukushima as reactor core wouldn't survive long. 10 years after the triple core melt own radiation is still extremely hazardous today some 7000 people are working on decommissioning the power plant but due to the high contamination they're only allowed on site a few days a month on march 11th 2011 a tsunami struck japan's coast and caused the nuclear plants to fail but how can we clean the radiation zone we can't even access. with robots. it's actually not that simple not even all robots can withstand the radiation they're exposed to in fukushima disaster zone but more and that's later energy provider tepco in tech giant to shiva teamed up to develop robots that could help clean up fukushima's radioactive runes the challenges they have to face are relentless some pass the

test others not quite here are 3 of the most exciting robots from the last decade. one of the biggest questions in the fukushima cleanup remains. where to start. parts of the buildings were destroyed when the reactor exploded the blast caused walls and floors to collapse and reduced sensitive equipment to twisted hulks of metal the situation varies in each building but over consumption ated when radioactive material was vented from the reactor containment vessels. this is where so current and rosemarie come into play the robots joe was developed in 2015 to inspect the buildings but that's easier said than done some floors can only be accessed through extremely narrow and steep stairways no simple feat for robots but that's exactly what rosemary and security were built to do. in addition

rosemary was fitted with a gamma camera that can detect and display radioactivity. you can see that here in the colored images the recordings were to be shared on a wireless network and that's when engineers faced the next challenge. nuclear power plants are designed with a number of safety measures and built to withstand extreme conditions. wireless signals barely make it through the thick concrete walls of the reactors that's where scurrah comes in the robot functions as a signal transmitter and helps rosemary relay its recordings to the outside world. both robots were partially successful in their mission they enabled authorities to get their 1st overview of the reactor after the fall out. the scorpion was the great hope for fukushima and 2017 it was meant to inspect the spots where radioactive lever 1st elite out of the reactor vessel joining the 2011

disaster the nucular fuel rods had heated up to 1200 degrees celsius causing them to melt through their metal casings the japanese government invested a lot of money in developing this little robots it was named for its appearance the cameras mounted on a retractable arm that hangs over the robots body like a scorpions tail ringback it was tested and improved for months until it was tiny enough to squeeze into the containment chamber. the only way to get inside was a 14 centimeter wide hole in the concrete wall created just for the robots but before the scorpion could set out on its mission in units to the exploration suffered major setbacks one week prior and with a robust designed the clear the way for the scorpion failed its comrades the cold and to the extreme radiation. nevertheless the scorpion was slated to deploy unlikes occur and rosemary wireless data transfer wasn't an option because the

robots had to crawl to deep instead it was left dragging a heavy cable along if successful it would locate the radioactive waste that had leaked out of the reactor vessel so it could be salvaged in the future. everything went smoothly at 1st. the scorpions recordings were transmitting with i would say hitch and it was getting ahead well. but then. just 3 meters before station the scorpion simply stopped what happened we still don't know for sure maybe it got stuck or maybe the radiation was too much to handle. in the end the researchers decided to cut the scorpion loose and abandon the mission sorry little guy. after the scorpion had failed researchers had to come up with another solution to find the leaks material they gave up on units 2 for the time being and concentrated

on reactor 3 instead but there are a whole new set of challenges lay ahead when the reactors exploded in 2011 for containment chambers were flooded to cool the reactors course the perfect part would have to be small enough to maneuver through a tight hole in the wall strong enough to drag along a cable that could transfer images and served as an emergency rescue line up and swim. quite a tall order but the japanese engineers found a compact solution little some fish after losing the scorpion they were is taking any more chances they tested little some fish for months and pools fitted up with a camera and a tiny propeller powerful enough to navigate it through the dark and then it was time to send little sunfish out. the mission was nerve wracking. a pilot a student through the water with a controller reminiscent of a video game. on day one none of the material transmitted was any good. but then on

the 2nd day of the mission the little robots bombs into a waxy mass on the floor of the containment chamber the radioactive core of congealed into a solid lump and dropped to the bottom of the flooded structure success. no security rosemary scorpion uncle sunfish we're just a few of the robots built to understand and repair the ruins of fukushima in the last 10 years their main objective was to explore thanks to them we have a rough idea where the radioactivity is highest and where the radioactive waste has settled in the coming years the challenge will be to recover this waste here 2 robots will be dispensable robo diggers are already being tested for their missions in the hopefully not too distant future. japan lies along the ring of fire making it a hotspot for natural disasters to save lives researchers are developing new rescue

technology. made the snake bot its 36 joints make it incredibly flexible. this lets it we go across tough terrain slither through pipes and even climb a ladder should disaster strike the snake robot could be a lifesaver it's been developed by a team of researchers at kyoto university. they can i talk a little 1st of all these robots are used in places humans cannot enter or where it's not sure whether it's safe to enter. robots can help to measure of concentration or c o 2 levels. of the vatican hope to evaluate whether rescue workers can be sent in the sewer to model who got the call this or the new height that we consider places

that may be in danger of collapsing but there are clues there are lots can go in and gather information. so in broad terms these robots unable access to places where it's too dangerous for humans to enter. the united will hide the user. locations where robots can play an active part. about the weather for surgical procedures or everyday situations snakes have often served as models for industrial design their flexible bodies are the perfect blueprint for agile robots. assuming the heavy sticks are interesting creatures they can move without legs that's the 1st aspect about this mysterious animal that makes my curiosity. to see . my up aim isn't simply to imitate snakes. we want to create a snake like inspired robots that's better to the snakes. of our snake robots

can climb up ladders and has a very uneven and slick surface to them or there are no protruding cords on the conflict to woodward but wouldn't. fit into each other with the courts more so. because they can change of too close on the mouth as well lets it bend still more smoothly because so you design them and that is vital to rescue missions japan is prone to natural disasters earthquakes are common in the country must be prepared for typhoons tsunamis and mechanic abruption ever since the kobe earthquake in 1905 let's you know it's been developing technologies to help. to deal with not that some originally i worked on space exploration robots. but then one of my students died in the great hunch an earthquake. that's when i decided to focus my research on disaster unresponsive robots. to go the snake but

is operated using a controller and comes equipped with a camera and numerous sensors engineers considered many different scenarios when creating the robot for instance when searching for. 5 years after a natural disaster the bot might need to be able to climb up a pipe. outside or inside. or stay on the ladder. or even slither its way through pike. is to scoop the who will actually 1st i want to create robots that rescue people hope. then i changed my mind. when disasters strike an urban area it's incredibly hard to find victims buried under the rubble when you go

far enough. to where the rescue workers will do to around here and there we don't much success that will not help to what's going to trial and error process that's wastes a lot of valuable time during which people might not this month but the. last one for me tashi months who know also designed this rescue robot the prize winning. its 4 legs and tank like trads let it go places humans kept a multi-functional arm effortlessly opens doors and retrieves objects. these robots are still under development but soon they could be sent out on rescue missions and help save lives.
