The Economist / The count began on Saturday around 12 pm. The qualifier Guinness Record judge, Charly Weisman explained that to record this record, we needed a single device could control at least 250 robots, which are widely exceeded goal, as the record was set at 1,867 robots operating simultaneously, Puebla and the Federal District, through a single cell phone. To be released the result, attendees broke out in different expressions of joy.
In the forecourt of the Universum Science Museum, the event program included also the year that allowed Mexico to get a new record, workshops, lectures and demonstrations, in which visitors could observe technological applications, particularly robots.
They knew, for example, Ludovico, which is controlled via a mobile device and is armed with computer waste; to Fedroide, offering help to people with disabilities and can take vital signs and has communication systems for deaf and dumb, or the Da Vinci Surgical System, with which it has conducted more than 2,000 operations around the world.
Reacted with surprise emotion and the more than 800 children gathered at the University Chess Park Cultural Complex of the Autonomous University of Puebla (UAP), when after a few seconds of silence they heard the first sound emitted from a cell phone located in the Mexico City. Immediately, the buzz of their robots moving simultaneously dominated the stage.
Some children were concerned that the robot had not answered on the first ring (the first frequency that is sent to the robot to move in one direction), but their faces were transformed into joy and relief when the second tone (the second frequency change indicating the contrary), the prototype began to move just in time for counting.
"I loved seeing so many kids interested and that the main objective was fulfilled fully, ie arouse their interest in science and have at their disposal such experiments, so that in the future the new talent in the area technology, "said Ortiz Alfonso Esparza, president of the UAP.
FOSTER CHILDREN BETWEEN SCIENCE
Dr. Enrique Ruiz-Velasco Sánchez, director of the Software for Children and Youth of the Mexican Academy of Sciences (AMC) and general coordinator of Roboteando said, "This event aimed to children realize that technology can be studied, used and applied, but in a playful way, since they are in kindergarten. "
Ernesto Marquez, director of the Museum of Science and Universum host the event in Mexico City, said that this is a great opportunity to generate seed science and technology, "which will give us proof of their talent in a few years."
To volunteer trainers in Puebla, mostly students of the UAP and INAOE, was also an interesting dynamic. Marlene Espinoza said that seeing so many excited children build their own robots was very rewarding. "That this house with learning and share with others (...), to foster a love of science and robotics."
Participants were children aged between six and 13 years old. Anet, aged eight, said: "Yes I liked the robot arm and the gears still put a lot of emotion I felt when I saw him running.".
