A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#32) – 4th February 2022: 110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – Técnico’s 1st educational robot.

Rhino was Técnico’s first educational robot and provided its students with unique experiences with robotics in the 80’s and 90’s, such as programming the robot to stack builds on top of each other, among many other things. Rhino’s command system allowed independent arm movements to be programmed, which was a big step forward at the time. It contributed to the astonishing process of industrial transformation that brought technology into our daily life. Today, Rhino is inside a display case, in Mechanics III building, at Alameda campus.
