# Explosion-Evading Robots This Industrial Robot is Designed For Use In Gas-Filled Environments By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-07-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-robot References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/sakura-2-gas-robot/44310/) & [mhi-global](https://www.mhi-global.com/news/story/160712.html) [Mitsubishi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/az600) Heavy Industries and the [Chiba Institute of Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-perigee) have joined forces to develop a wonderfully innovative industrial robot that is designed to decrease the likelihood of gas explosions which can occur in certain environments. Gas-filled environments are often quite volatile, and a single spark or influx of heat can set off a disastrous fire or explosion. This is where the Sakura No. 2 industrial robot comes in. This particular robot is designed to be remotely operated, and is capable of investigating industrial spaces and carrying out inspections and maintenance. Its pressure-proof and explosive-proof casing is designed to protect its batteries, motor and controller, with the casing pressurized to prevent inward leaking of gas. This industrial robot's exceptionally well-designed structure gives it the capacity to prevent gas explosions that can be disastrous to businesses and lethal to human lives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gas-proof Robots:** Robots specifically designed to withstand gas environments can improve safety and streamline maintenance in volatile industries. - **Remote Operation:** Robots capable of being operated remotely can increase efficiency and reduce risk in hazardous environments. - **Explosion Prevention Technology:** Innovative technologies that prevent explosions can save lives and prevent costly damage in industrial settings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Oil and Gas:** Gas-proof robots can prevent explosions and improve efficiency in oil and gas exploration and production. - **Chemical Manufacturing:** Robots capable of operating in gas-filled environments can streamline maintenance and reduce risk in chemical manufacturing facilities. - **Mining:** Explosion prevention technology can improve safety and decrease the risk of mine disasters in the mining industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Levitating Firefighting Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefighting-robot.md) - [Intuition-Inspired Robot Safety Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/predictive-safety-engine.md) - [Dynamic Task Support Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muks-robotics-spaceo.md) - [Autonomous Industrial Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doosan-robotics.md) - [Workplace Robot Trials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workplace-robot-trials-boston-dynamics-spot-robot-ensure-equipment-efficien.md) - [Precision Cake Decorating Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unifiller-hiro-robot.md) - [Rugged Quadruped Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugged-quadruped-robots.md) - [Safety System Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sick-and-universal-robots.md) - [Sea Mine-Destroying Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minedestroying-underwater-robots.md)
