gather again if things go wrong however building a machine capable of such precision in highly demanding environments still requires a human touch. set up in st petersburg twenty three years ago the accounts employs around a thousand people it's forged a name for itself as a top supplier of high tech inspection and maintenance robots for the nuclear and oil and gas industries the company of ships around twenty thousand pieces of equipment to twenty three countries around the world but the applications of his products on just limited to earth day a concert even manufactured components for space ship docking mechanisms and electro mechanical fuel valves for launch vehicles we call so with the company's deputy director to find out. mission is to ensure complete control over manufacturing processes and high tech product development because we have over three hundred engineers and specialists who from project scope document drafting process development and implementation of create the technology to make

the product which is then manufactured using the equipment located on our site here so there's still a samples tested and delivered to a client. one of the secrets behind the company's cosmic success is it takes production facilities which occupy around five thousand square meters and continue to grow many of the products play a vital part in the safe operation of energy production facilities so failure is simply not an option so three ensure the quality of his equipments remains top notch the company's hundred cakes the best tooling machines from supply is around the world while all these high end machinery may cost a pretty penny the full cycle production means that the company can design and build turnkey products at the drop of a hot this ability is not only earned the company orders from the likes of general electric but also resulted in a rather motley crew. since two thousand and five for the nuclear boiling gas and space in. the contest designed and assembled an entire family of robots and

it continues to grow the first generation includes a pipe inspection robot which uses all just sounds to check for defects corrosion and other irregularities in high pressure gas pipelines and this snake like welding robots is designed for carrying house repairs inside nuclear reactors the machine is radiation proof can slither through a gap the size of a much box and slinks along the walls magnetically the company's remote inspection robots uses laser holographic technology to check the integrity of react to seals to prevent any coolant leakage finally one of the latest additions to the family alignments of water pipes deep inside a nuclear reactor if any repairs are required a nifty mini robots can be deployed. to the pipe but even face high tech family of the humble beginnings. we started off with special t.v. cameras capable of working in high radiation levels and underwater but they're used

to control the technical process is associated with refusing nuclear reactors and the most important equipment of a nuclear power plant. ordinary glass becomes ten sit in a matter of seconds when exposed to radiation. uses custom made radiation proof glass in its lenses which are then assembled on site for the camera itself the company is gone but it's a basics using a black and white video camera cheap avoiding the use of complex chipsets and placing as much of the electronics as possible in a remote block well out of harm's way while the red take advantage of the video chip sensitivity sweet spot in the spectrum they currently working on a color version that works by flickering between red green and blue and combining them to create a cool image whatever the product testing is key. we test every component separately as well as the parts of the final product and then the final product itself but we cooperate. a number of facilities that allow us to

test them under intense gamma ray conditions some products undergo field testing at our client's facilities with the. dia cons also has its own testing facilities and we arrive just in time to see one of the latest gizmos struck his stall. compressor stations can say no holds hangal of pipes the cons be checked by the unfortunately named pigs pipe inspection gauges dia cons xplosion proof robots on the other hand can move along even the most twisted of pipelines thanks to its to the chalk so they can push against the inside of the pipe with a force of one hundred eighty kilograms while its electromagnetic acoustic transducer doesn't even require direct contact with the pipe he does takes microscopic defects and corrosion that could lead to massive problems down the line it has a number of cameras for official inspection and is in service in countries around the world compresses stations are frequently located in far flung places inaccessible by standard transport means so the company has converted

a six wheel drive camas that can even the most rugged terrain with ease and transmit all the states of parts of basically satellite uplink. all of the technology being made today requires super precise components with impressive capabilities but in limited quantities maximum a couple of hundred a year. plans to switch to mass production which will mean different technologies in approaches which is why we're building another factory. attention to detail has security took place among the elite robotics companies of the world he continues to strive three find his designs and solve a more complicated tasks with this new production facilities just around the corner i'm sure we'll be see much more of his high tech health soon so next time you turn on the t.v. or put the kettle on spare a thought for the robotics team to help keep the energy which is safe under.

the most is the third largest in the world it's the hearts of the city transporting around nine million people every day and it's. needless to say all this traffic takes its toll. on something a lot. every morning i join the throngs of people commuting to work in the hustle and bustle of the moscow metro. on the red line was one of the first stations built . opened in one thousand nine hundred thirty five as a showpiece for the soviet government the beauty of the miniature is known the world over almost eighty years later there are still plans for its expansion so the need to ensure the safety of both old lines and new has never been greater. metro inspection technology has come a long way since the days of hundred push trolleys culminating in the city on the moscow metro weapon in the never ending battle against. the train can check the truck and tunnels at the same speed as normal passenger trains meaning that

inspections can be carried out during the day hundred nights but so deal with the longer peak times including passing to traffic you need to. just speed. to three. trains. six miles to know it takes one requires heart the number of. the wrong. bursting at the. diagnostic equipment capable of checking to see sticks of the. touch to the rear ultrasound to check for signs of. measurement system at the front . between the rails and their respective heights. comprises for lead us. to measure the clearance in the. visual inspection.

and the whole carry weight down with. the rails that. the masses of information generated by the group. recorded and processed in real time by powerful computers. it's closely monitored by the team for any glitches in the absence of signal deep below the any problem areas. running along the rails the hypnotic video footage can also be rewound and scrutinized by specialists . in addition to the existing two systems that we used as the track monitoring system and the fold to take. we also introduced some new ones. three d. laser system high speed video monitoring of tracks and joints and we also have a third monitoring system the checks on the condition of the power rail checking out its temperature and the visual data systems like that have never been used

before. by almost one hundred fifty kilometers by twenty twenty i'm sure the scenario. one will have his work cut out. the company behind the scenario. starting with defective scopes twenty five years ago their equipment's now accounts for almost three quarters of russian railways diagnostic fleet they have more than two hundred fifty trains and over two thousand five hundred manual diagnostic tools in operation world wide. the company had only three members of staff when it was launched in now employs over three hundred people including marketing production and engineering specialists while his team of experienced programmers writes all this software in-house the company's actively branching out into new markets including china germany and the c.i.s. so you certainly won't find any of the team resting on their laurels. but.

of course that we will definitely try to apply this experience to other russian metro systems. and there is a demand for such trains across russia. as far as i know the moscow metro plans to build another scenario. which we believe will be even better than this one. will treat your web. this princess is the company's flagship mainline model is definitely no slowcoach as it's currently only one of a few diagnostic chains in the world capable of checking every millimeter of chalk as a one hundred forty kilometers an hour this means he can fit in with existing timetables and eliminate destruction to services the latest defect to scope has overcome traditional problems with the deflation of ultrasound in metal which until now has limited speeds the defect scope releases a thin film of water on to the rails to improve the readings every. before

being done on a passenger car that equipped with a bolster. this is the first time that a non-contact centering system has ever been installed on the. they're very pretty we're also making use of a brand new detection system as well as various new software solutions they allow us to implement a lot of new monitoring technology which in turn enables high up monitoring speeds . the high speed subsume was only introduced four years ago but construction is already started on a new four hundred kilometer an hour line whatever the future of rail transport i'm sure will pay a key role in keeping plans on track and get seen me to work. that's just the end of the first half so don't see you after the break.

it was. very hard to take a. chance again there is a lot happening that tax would that make their lives. if. the people.

there's a medium leave us so we need to be. by the sea potions to cure. for your party there's a goal that questions that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . enriching negotiations only a week ago the prospect of a deal with around was tantalizingly close then the french played the role of spoiler to the great delight of israel nonetheless negotiations continue much is made of the technical side of the talks in fact this is a side show but these negotiations are really about is the issue of trust. right from the scene. first for you and i think you're.

on our reporters twitter. and instagram. to be in the. welcome back before we continue with the rest of the show to see what else has been happening this month. spites russian internet week took place towards the end of last month charging around fifteen thousand visitors could be the most important event in the room that calendar it gives dull true giants the new comers alike the chance to discuss topics from advertising social media and digital marketing to big data cyber security and online regulation. i'm talking about don't screw giants the

richest most popular search engine gun takes continue to these global expansion fi rolling l.t.e. populum up service worldwide the press conference was fittingly held in the moscow town of terry and. had to translate over seven million street town and city names from two hundred thirty seven countries and the maps will be updated every three months the company had to develop the technology. process the vast amounts of costs of one hundred times faster than the old service our own lying rendering system process is user requests to more than neat and does it very quickly in order to develop this technology we had to receive all the mathematical algorithms we had to start from scratch and this was a real breakthrough. so the largest of four reactors arrived at the oil refinery on the twenty eighth of october one thousand four hundred fifty two and james was transported two hundred three kilometers by a three hundred eighty four wheel parts for. an hour the feat has made it into the

russian guinness book of records as the heaviest cargo transported on public roads to l'oreal unesco for women in science awards ceremony was held on the twelfth of november it's supported by the russian academy of sciences and is designed to raise the profile of female scientists over five hundred applications are made for one of the ten fellowships each win awards away with a four hundred rouble grant because they're worth it. big business the backbone of the russian economy and a lifeline during the winter months fortunately the world still has plenty but the days of cheap so-called easy oil. check some of the world's oldest oil fields have been pumping for over a century. always finding inspired ways of boosting and maintaining outputs but there are limits eventually we're going to have to find new deposits.

russia has twenty seven point seven billion tons of oil making ten percent of the world's supply the vast majority of which lies in western siberia around sixty percent of the total is considered difficult to extract so the future of the oil industry relies on finding new sources many of which al to see. the huge pressure to find oil rests on the shoulders of geologists like these chaps they examine the terrain features rocks and soil. to find the right conditions for oil chops puts unfortunately for these guys traditional servants it makes no longer come up to scratch. the region is rich in natural resources particularly oil and natural gas but when faced with depleting oil fields and strict export targets in the mid eighty's the region had to come up with new ways of squeezing the last drops of oil off of existing fields. the. university has an impressive archive of taken from the region's wells. on the process. can be used to determine the

reservoir storage capacity and the ability of fluids to flow through the rock these measurements are used to determine the recoverable reserves and the rates at which they can be extracted. the process itself involves working out the chemical makeup of the rock someplace then heated and compressed in a chamber to simulate the conditions under which it will be drilled and the results of these tests help determine the best drilling method when it comes to the crunch . the extreme testing conditions are not even the hardest of rocks so there's no room for error as shilling for another sample is no small task. so trust the skolkovo innovation in moscow to have the. vision has a way of conducting an infinite number of experiments while leaving the core sample completely intact. physics involves creating

a three dimensional virtual model of the rock and simulating how it would behave under various physical processes. are very sensitive to methods of increasing extraction rates development. sometimes you need to conduct hundreds or even thousands of experiments before drilling obviously a real sample would withstand it so that's where computer modeling. the precious core sample is placed in a computer tomography. machine takes a series of x. ray slices of it which are then put together to create a full three d. virtual model which contains all the pore spaces. along with this chemical make determine its physical properties while the resulting image wouldn't look out of place in a modern art gallery the information it can provide is worth more than its worth of affection. the ability to test even the most fragile of samples to destruction

until the heart's content provides invaluable information on the feasibility of launching production at new fields and boosting outputs to existing ones. is the correct interpretation. you have to analyze the raw data the machines give you translate it into the indicators geologists are used to so that they can choose the best method. of the. technology may be to take full advantage of it you have to find oil in the first place continental shelf how some of the largest and least explored oil reserves in the world with such huge potential they fall under the gaze of oil companies hunting for oil at sea. of unique challenges. has developed a painted technology that takes. comprises a series of nodes that can create images of the ocean floor and is faster and more

cost effective than traditional methods the technology behind the company's success is a result of the work of the institute of earth physics where research into ocean surveying started in the ninety's. recently it was really only a bit of scientific fun. five years ago you didn't think this project was worth. developing marketing for the industry. new technology emerged. new energy saving microprocessors new microcircuits. digital converters rapid wireless copying technology at speeds of up to fifteen megabytes per second that's much quicker than why five we can collect the data regulated over a few days then transfer it in a matter of minutes and then move the node to continue registration because that's a successful test on the black sea has drawn the attention of some of russia's

leading oil companies before setting sail the fully automated pret checks and configure their power supply and electronics can also be controlled remotely once the ship reaches the required coordinates there cast over the side and plunge to the bottom of the seabed thanks to the disposable. navigation system but it is their exact location capable of gathering accurate data. below the floor the devices are deployed along a pre-determined pattern it's equal intervals to form a few d. grid the size of the lattice can be as large or small as necessary while the nose directs contact with the seabed any interference from weather. and towed behind the ship releases powerful acoustic shock waves that travel deep into the earth's crust and by the nodes. realistically companies can drill down to three four or even five kilometers of the depth of most oil wells but in professional geologists i'm mostly

interested in studying all the layers above the upper mantle but our technology allows us to study the upper mantle as well. as complete the signal is given for the nose to dish their own kids and return to the surface. completely environmentally friendly and decompose into quartz. in just four weeks when the devices transfer all the information while asleep. in less time than it takes to ready them for the next mission. after that we get all of the data over to the geologists for interpretation. by using all kinds of interpretation software what they study the image and tributes in many different ways. and the data they get from that can be used to locate drill sites and reservoirs. meanwhile another skolkovo resident flow dynamics just so happens to have developed

a piece of software for simulating hydrocarbon fields. or uses geological and seismic survey information to create interactive models of existing and completely on top reservoirs the application lets engineers run dynamic reservoir simulations to find out how well would behave for example if water steam pressure chemicals are introduced as part of the extraction process this helps save both time and resources when finding the right drilling method and ensures the field is safe when operations eventually commence. what was a two thousand and thirteen is a very special year for us for the first time in our history overseas sales will exceed our sales in russia. global partners will include such well known companies as the u.s. based occidental petroleum pioneer natural resources the japanese jog meg and malaysian company in fact just were seeking

a global presence. in the meantime russian oil majors such sleek oil boss netting gazprom already relying on the latest surveying and modeling technology to improve efficiency and safety as well as keep op-ed coal i'm also sure it'll come in handy with the technology challenges the shelf presents. the open innovations forum as the name was suggest is the place to be if you have an innovation to showcase and life forms so naturally the team has to get in on the action. the open innovations forum was held only for the second time at the start of november the aim is to promote global cooperation in advanced technologies and innovation as well as bring business education and government representatives together as well as the usual industry we saw lots of new players looking to carve out their own niche there's always the proof is in the pudding.

continue to shift from novelty to utility with this educational tool that promises to bring physics lessons to life. transports was also a key theme with compazine materials making for faster racing cars and leading the switch to green transportation with his folding electric car while the award winning react to the music synthesizer can make even the most tone deaf people into a music god which if i learned anything lifelike humanoid robots still have a long way to go. one of the exhibits that really to the crowds was this viking all terrain vehicle buy out some impulse is superior offload ability even caught the eye of the russian government with such a feast of innovations don't be surprised if you see some of them crop up in future episodes of technology update. us all for today's show. with our. serving technology and with the unfailing of novel modes of transport so the open innovations exhibition i'm sure will find it much easier to enjoy the ride.
