The Netherlands is increasingly committed to robotics and automation. Research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs.nl\/en-gb\/news\/2024\/21\/three-quarters-of-business-owners-aiming-to-boost-productivity\">75%<\/a> of Dutch entrepreneurs want to boost productivity within the company through automation. Lack of personnel is the main reason for this. Innovation in robotics ranges from healthcare to agriculture. Here are some robots in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"io-block io-block__box\"><h2>Why this is important:<\/h2><p>Robotics and automation are boosting productivity within companies. Whether in agriculture or education.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Robot Sara<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, meet robot <a href=\"https:\/\/sara-robotics.nl\/\">SARA<\/a>. This robot acts as a social helper in nursing homes. SARA is programmed to know who she is in front of. For example, if the resident always liked gardening, SARA will pay special attention to this, for example by offering a nice listening story. Family members can send in photos and videos, which SARA then shows. In addition, SARA encourages users to get moving and train their memory through simple tasks. The SARA platform is used by 15 healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today interesting news came out about this robot. Several institutions and agencies are joining forces for an initial, scientific study on the effectiveness of the HUME in combination with SARA. The HUME is a technology capable of detecting early signs of stress and tension.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/robot-sara-the-ever-patient-extra-hand-in-long-term-care\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Robot Sara: the ever-patient extra hand in long-term care\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Robot Sara: the ever-patient extra hand in long-term care<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">That Robot Sara is a welcome addition for institutions in long-term care, no one doubts anymore. <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pepper in the classroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Robots are also widely used in education in the Netherlands. A good example is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aldebaran.com\/en\/pepper\">Pepper<\/a>. This robot is equipped with advanced sensors, voice recognition, and electric motors, giving students an in-depth understanding of robotics and programming. Pepper is used to teach programming languages such as Python, and C++, among others. The robot can be found at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart agricultural robot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The agricultural sector is struggling: fewer and fewer people want to work in agriculture, forcing agriculture and horticulture to look at automation. So, more and more robots in this sector are equipped with <a href=\"https:\/\/brainporteindhoven.com\/en\/news\/vbti-introduces-robots-fitted-with-smart-camera-tech-to-agriculture\">VBTI technology<\/a>. The company developed deep learning technology to make agricultural machinery and processes smarter. For example, a robot can recognize a tomato, whether it is large or particularly small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Robotics Day.
