next robotic dream team. brains overbroad. the world is a dangerous place so robots are frequently used to scout out areas and perform tasks too hazardous for humans in addition to the classic humanoid design is often sent to nature for inspiration this is resulted in myriad weird and wonderful creations but even if we have to go in harm's way a robots will put us back together 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 is 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 more. about the company's mission is to ensure complete control over manufacturing processes and high tech product development because we have over three hundred engineers in 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 instead of samples tested and delivered to the 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 economy 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 takes 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 industries 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 for defects corrosion and other irregularities in high pressure gas pipelines. 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 cool it's 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 a touch of metal brace 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 there 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 so basics using a black and white video camera cheap avoiding the use of complex chip sets 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

cheap 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 color image but 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 with 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 strut his stuff. compressor stations can say no holds hangal of pipes the cons be checked by the unfortunately named pigs pipe inspection gauges dia concepts lotion 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 did takes microscopic defects and corrosion they could lead to massive problems down the line it has a number of cameras for visual inspection and is in service in countries around the world compressor 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 this data back to 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 because the company plans to switch to mass production which will mean different technologies and approaches which is why we're building another factory. attention to detail has security took place among the elite robotics companies of

the well to be continued to strive three finest designs and solve a more complicated tasks with these 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. the moscow metro is the third largest in the world it's the hearts of the city transporting around nine million people every day and. 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 hostel 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 measure 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. metroid inspection technology has come a long way since the days of hundred push trolleys culminating in this scenario the moscow. weapon in the never ending battle against where. the train can check the track and tunnels at the same speed as normal passenger trains meaning that inspections can be carried out during the day hundred peasant nights but so deal with the longer peak times including passing to traffic needs a lot more than just speed. combines the functions of three all diagnostic trains mean this is the state since most know it takes one require heart the number of stops off rate. and if your facts. bursting at the rivets his senses and diagnostic equipment is capable of checking all the vital statistics of the truck and. the defective scope

a touch to the rear bogey uses ultrasound to check for signs of. the track measurement system at the front the distance between the rails and their respective heights of the structure gauge near the roof comprises for lead us which use lasers to measure the clearance in the tunnel sinecure one also has visual inspection cameras underneath the side and on top. she's weighed down with the concrete slab that says the rails that and suns over the normal load. the masses of information generated by the group her senses is all recorded and processed in real time by powerful computers. it's closely monitored by the team for any blitzing glitches in the absence of signal deep below the capital any problem areas are linked through a series of unique types running along the rails the hypnotic video footage can also be rewound and scrutinized by specialists at the end of the run. in

addition to the existing two systems that we used that's the track monitoring system and the fold to take system we also introduced some new ones. three d. laser gauging 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 on its temperature and the visual data systems like that have never been used before. the moscow metro said to expand by almost one hundred fifty kilometers by twenty twenty i'm sure the scenario you want will have its work cut out. the company behind. starting with twenty five years ago their equipment is now accounts for almost three quarters of russian railways diagnostic fleet they have more than three hundred fifty trains and over two thousand five hundred manual diagnostic tools in operation 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 their 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. 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 defector scope releases a thin film of water on 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 main. road a 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 higher monitoring speeds. the high speed subsume was only introduced four years ago but construction has

already started on a new four hundred kilometer an hour line whatever the future of rail transport i'm sure will be a key role in keeping plans on track and getting me to work. that's just the end of the first half so don't see you after the break. again if we take up your personal example of the government topping your followers and you know you see them later on to be years later you know some governments cannot afford to do that not only you know again some prominent journalism so again some has a strange i remember thinking at the time when i discovered all this that if they were tapping my phone for this ocean in consequential. nation been tapping into telephones here and not.

let me just tell you something right now president george w. bush never claimed the right to extradition really assassinate american citizens this president barack obama should be impeached for crimes against the citizens and against the constitution because he has killed women and children in drone strikes so i'd just like to say that i think that history is not going to judge the presidency of barack obama and george bush in the same light whatsoever i think obama is way worse than bush and i am not a big fan of george w. bush ok and you could probably be co-hosting this program i guess i don't need to say very much definitely did you reflect upon what we've heard from good ruby and from austin there there is no compare and contrast between either president whatsoever besides having a spending problem this president currently hispanics and pulling the debt and deficits out of control more than all presidents combined however george w.

bush did spend too much but his governing style foreign policy pratt was taking a set of crisis and leadership style or night and day over what president obama's are. right on the scene. first for you and i think the trip. on our reporters. and. me in the.

welcome back before we continue with the rest of the show to see what else has been happening this month. bites russian internet week took place towards the end of last month charging around fifteen thousand visitors i 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 dots through giants most popular search engine gun decks continue to these global expansion by rolling out its popular much service worldwide the press conference was fittingly held in a moscow planetarium next how to translate over seven million street town and city names from two hundred thirty seven countries on the maps will be updated every three months the company had to develop the technology to process the vast amounts of casa grapheme data one hundred times faster than the old service our own lying

rendering system process is user requests to more the amish they meet 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. 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 their. big business the backbone of

the russian economy and their 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 but there are limits eventually we're going to have to find new deposits. russia has twenty seven point seven billion tons of oil 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 all to see. the huge pressure to find oil rests on the shoulders of geologists slightly chops the examine the terrain features rocks and soil types 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 out of existing fields. university has an impressive archive of course 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 some police then heated on compressed in a chamber to simulate the conditions under which it will be drilled and the results of these tests 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 sense in in moscow to have the. inch of 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. modern wells 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 comes in. the precious core sample is placed in a computer tomography. the 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 and mineral natures sees that along with these chemical makeup determine its physical properties while the resulting image wouldn't look out of place in a modern art gallery the info. the ability to test even the most fragile of samples to destruction until the heart's content provides invaluable information on the. production of new fields and boosting. is the correct interpretation. you have to. translate it into the indicators geologists are used to so that later they can choose the best method. which. technology may be to take full advantage of

it you have to find oil in the first place. some of the largest and least explored oil reserves in the world with huge potential under the gaze of oil companies hunting for oil its. own set of unique challenges. has developed a painted technology that takes. comprises a series of nodes that can create images of the ocean floor faster and more cost effective than traditional methods the technology behind the company's success is a result of the work. of earth physics where research into ocean surveying started in the ninety's. 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 or what. technology emerged.

saving microprocessors microcircuits. digital converters rapid while copying technology at speeds of up to fifteen second much quicker than wife. did over a few days and transfer it in a matter of minutes. to continue registration but i'm going to guess that it'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 nodes are prepped checked and configured that power supply and electronics can also be controlled remotely once the ship reaches the required coordinates they're cast over the side and plunge to the bottom of the seabed thanks to the disposable. navigation system but it is their exact location and the nodes are capable of gathering accurate data up to seven kilometers below the floor the devices are deployed along a pre-determined pattern it's equal intervals to form

a few deep grid the size of the lattice can be as large or small as necessary while the nose direct contact with the seabed rules out any interference from weather or shipping 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 putting professional geologists are mostly interested in studying all the layers above the upper mantle but our technology allows us to study the upper mantle as well and once you. complete this signal is given for the nose to ditch their own kids and return to the surface. completely environmentally friendly and decompose into croissants and water in just four weeks when the devices transfer all the information wirelessly in less time than it takes to ready them for the next mission. after that we have all of the data over to

the geologists for interpretation. by using all kinds of interpretation software what they study the image tributes in many different ways. and the data they get from that can be used to locate drill sites. and reza was. 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 three d. 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 commenced . 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 would include such well known companies as the u.s. based occidental petroleum pioneer natural resources the japanese jog meg and malaysian company in fact we're 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 our petrol tanks full i'm also sure it'll come in handy with the technology cool challenges the shelf presents. the open innovations forum as the name would 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. point the open innovation 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 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 materials making for faster racing cars. leading the switch to green transportation with this folding electric car while the award winning. can make even the most tone deaf people into a music god. anything lifelike humanoid robots still have a long way to go. one of the exhibits that really to the crowds was this all

terrain vehicle. even caught the eye of the russian government. innovations don't be surprised if you see some of them crop up in future technology update. for today's show. and with modes of transport for the open innovations exhibition. to enjoy the ride. if you. know opportunity. to construct your own. don't want to be bit gives don't want to be gangstas you don't want to be. they don't want to blow with

oh turn this kid came be we can see. you just means a zero zero zero zero zero zero problems in the hood. but i said. i don't want to die i just really do not want to die young young. to keep interest rates at zero percent you something to increase america's debt load it's all such time as the debt bubble pops everyone who is of the dad the bankers include bernanke get a fee on the size of debt issued they don't make money based on profits and losses they make money based on the size of the debt big issue so when a car is a debt issue a quantitative easing is debt issue getting the job of the donald's put yourself

into debt that gives fees to the bankers it destroys the economy it just roy society it destroys everything but the fees for the bankers. right to see. first rate. and i think picture. on a reporter's. instrument. could be in the.

anticipation and uncertainty over a potential deal with iran as top diplomats hope to get tehran's nuclear program under control. a march of remembrance as anti-fascist activists take to the streets of germany protesting against the growing popularity of nazi views in the country. unlimber girl says she wants to have a word with glad amir putin over ukraine now that's after the e.u. and russia accuse each other a meddling in the country's foreign policy to ensure its cooperation. and the olympic torch is on another leg of attack but the journey to stop you plunging to the bottom of the deepest like on earth after conquering open space.
