From now on, from sea wind power to fishery cultivation, the future of utilizing underwater robots

 The special symposium on the first day was performed entitled "Now" and "Future" in the marine industry centered on underwater robots.There are lectures from various positions of industry -academia, including underwater robots in offshore wind power, implementation of technology in fishery aquaculture, which are growing worldwide, and wireless technology of the sea, and about 100 real and online.More than the name participated.

 The first time he spoke was Osamu Akimoto, Deputy Director of Fukushima RTF.After an overview of Fukushima RTF, he mentioned that it was the "dawn of the sea industrial revolution by underwater robots", and expressed his expectations for social implementation in the future.

 Hideo Yura, a general officer of the Reconstruction Agency, gave a keynote lecture entitled "Toward the reconstruction of Fukushima and realization of the creation", and said that research was required to lead to application development.It is important how to use it in the fishery industry. "Subsequently, Takawa's accuracy of Minami -Soma spoke on the development of underwater robots assuming activities in decommissioning."Rado Firefly II" also appeared in the second day demonstration.

 The first half of the symposium was Takashi Kitahata, director of the Oshin Wind Division, the Oriental Civil Engineering Business Division.He gave a lecture under the title "Low Cost Technology Development and Use of Underwater Robot in Global Wind Power Power."Mr. Kitahata explained the new technology called "Sauce Bucket Foundation Works method" on offshore wind power, and also mentions the use of underwater robots in separation of suction pumps and monitoring during piles."In the first place, offshore wind power construction is accompanied by continuous work in the open ocean and day and night. It cannot be done without underwater robots, including monitor visual management."

 The top batter in the latter half of the symposium is Yukari Asano, the manager of Umitron, a startup that develops fisheries tech globally.She gave an invitation lecture, entitled "Aiming to implement a sustainable fishery farm that is realized by technology."Mr. Asano explains the growth of the aquaculture industry against the backdrop of the increase in protein demand due to the growing population of the world, and the aquaculture in the aquaculture industry, such as soaring feed using natural resources, and introduces the solutions that the company works.bottom.Specifically, the automatic feeding system using AI, the size measurement system of fish using AI, and the service that provide marine environment monitoring data.In the future, he expressed his willingness to use it for the selection of offshore wind and offshore cultivation.

 The Lecture "Wireless Technology of the Sea" by the Society of Electronic Information and Communications Society Society UWT has also attracted attention.Hiroshi Yoshida of JAMSTEC, who was also moderating on the management side, was on stage as a speaker.Mr. Yoshida does not stop the use of wireless technologies such as sound, light, and radio waves in the existing industries of shipbuilding, marine transport, and fisheries, but is still a global growth industry fisheries aquaculture, and the technology development is still in technology.He pointed out that we should look at the new market that can be expected to have a large economic size, such as seabed resources, bridges, rivers, embankments, flood gates, pumping and drainage pages, dams, which are very important, but have very large product value.。He also mentioned the possibility that underwater communication devices using electromagnetic waves would be offered cheaply and the need to select equipment according to the application.

 From the standpoint of "study", two people are on stage.Takayuki Takahashi, a professor at Fukushima University Systems Science and Engineering, gave a lecture entitled "Development of human support robots and developing human resources."With the experience of hosting intelligence robot contests for more than 30 years, he has developed a theory of Robocon's educational effects."The robot contest is an entry as an engineer, and it is not a technician to win Robocon as an engineer. If you succeed, you will become a tengu, and if you fail, you will lose motivation."It's a strange spoon," he said.

 In addition, Takaaki Morita, a supervisor to the Nagasaki Prefectural Industrial Labor Department and a special assistant to the Nagasaki University Research and Development Promotion Organization, said, "Aiming to create a marine industry by collaboration between production, science, and government.He gave a lecture entitled "for implementation, and introduced that a new marine future science course will be established in Nagasaki University Faculty of Engineering in 2022.
