A GREAT CAREER
Anibal Ollero career can be considered a great one. The Spanish professor has led 6 European projects, currently coordinating the research and innovation project AEROARMS, within the European program H2020. In this Project there are five countries participating, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain, which are developing the first air manipulators for industrial inspection and maintenance. This is a big step for the use of drones and robots in several industrial tasks, such as the operations of inspection in industrial plants and infrastructure so that not only they can see and collect data from the air, but also doing operations involving tapping and holding ones.
