More than a hundred professionals and academics in the field of emergencies and robotics took part in the 1st Symposium on Emergencies, Rescue and Intervention Robotics at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón, a meeting that aims to bring research and development in intervention robotics closer to the daily activity carried out by emergency and rescue forces.

More than a hundred professionals and academics in the field of emergency and robotics attended the First Symposium on Emergencies, Rescue and Intervention Robotics at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón, a meeting that aims to bring research and development in intervention robotics closer to the daily activities of emergency and rescue services, especially health and firefighters, who, due to the interest shown, were able to follow the event via streaming channels from parks throughout the Valencian Community.

The conference was opened by the Vice-Rector for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination, David Cabedo, who congratulated the organisation for promoting "a space for transfer between what is researched and developed and the professionals who need it in their daily work". He was joined at the inauguration table by the Territorial Director of Justice and Internal Affairs of Castelló, Susana Fernández, the Director of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences, Ana Piquer, the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Eladio J. Collado, the Provincial Deputy of the Castelló Fire Consortium, David Vicente, the Director of the Emergency Health Service of the Valencian Community, Rafael Romero, and the Professor of the UJI Pedro J. Sanz.

In the first speech, the provincial deputy of the Castelló Fire Brigade Consortium, David Vicente Segarra, explained that the teams have specialised since their creation in 1988 and that the Consortium currently has six units, including a water unit, with the latest technological tools to adapt to the different operations. Vicente said that specific training in rescue techniques is essential because "it plays a fundamental role in emergency situations" and thanked the Universitat Jaume I for its support in this task.

For his part, the chief sergeant of the Consortium's rescue units, Javier Botet Serrano, explained one of the most complicated interventions they have participated in, the sinking of the Nazmiye Ana in the Port of Castelló, and stressed that the water rescue units have very experienced personnel in diving because the situations they deal with are very complex. According to Botet, the training of the Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue Services (SPEIS) is essential in order to guarantee the safety of the public and the agents involved.

In the second intervention, Pablo Salas, Director of the Chair in Coordination in Road Traffic Accidents and Vice-Dean of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Sciences, said that one of the objectives of the Chair he heads is innovation and training in emergency coordination. Salas invited professionals in these fields to tell him about their needs in order to find solutions in the academic environment that can then be put into practice by professionals who carry out rescue tasks and in emergency situations.

The third and final presentation was made by professors Pedro J. Sanz and Raúl Marin. Sanz and Raúl Marin, from the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and the Centre for Research in Robotics and Underwater Technologies (CIRTESU-UJI), explained that next academic year the UJI will graduate the first class of the Bachelor's Degree in Robotic Intelligence, which will serve to integrate into the labour market very well trained professionals in this field, and that it also has an Erasmus Mundus Master that allows specialisation in intelligent marine and maritime robotics.

The two academics talked about some of the projects they are working on, the difficulties in some areas, such as communication in underwater operations, or the challenges they are facing, such as increasing the autonomy of robotic units. They said that the path is leading to more collaborative robotics and also to interventions with more than one operator.

The day ended with a round table discussion on the present and future of the integration of emergency, rescue and intervention robotics with representatives from the Water Rescue Unit of the Castelló Provincial Fire Department, the Valencia Provincial Fire Department, the Health Emergency Service of the Valencian Community (SESCV) and the Centre for Research in Robotics and Underwater Technologies (CIRTESU) of the Universitat Jaume I.
