Chapter 498: Electronic Prosthetics
For a while, applause spread throughout the exhibition hall, and this also made more and more people gather to watch. Not only a lot of visitors, but also the guests, even other exhibitors, institutes, and some leaders also came to see the excitement.
"Thank you, thank you." Wu Hao nodded slightly at everyone and thanked him with a smile, and then continued: "This is just a prototype we have developed, theoretically speaking, the proportion of this prototype can continue to be enlarged or reduced.
Of course, if the volume is too large, the manufacturing difficulty and process will definitely increase. And it's not convenient for us to transport and set up the exhibition remotely, so we didn't build too much of an intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arm.
As for the small and micro intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arms, we have built a few of them. ”
As he spoke, the staff pushed up two miniature intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arms. The first of these is basically the same size as our adult arm, and it is very similar in appearance.
The second one is smaller, a bit like a toddler's arm, but it's a little slenderer than a toddler's arm.
And at the same time as these two robotic arms, there is also an operating table. It's more like a console than a seat, with two large screens and some equipment set up in front of the seat, which looks like a high-end all-in-one gaming computer.
At the same time as the staff was debugging, Wu Hao also introduced with a smile: "As you can see, these are two small intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arms. Theoretically, we could have made it smaller, but it was too small to show, so let's use these two devices as a reference.
First of all, as you may have seen, our two small intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arms are separate from our operation control system. In other words, our operators can control the two intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arms at close or long distance by manipulating the control equipment.
If you take advantage of our low-latency, high-speed 5G network, you can achieve ultra-long-distance control. For example, the equipment is here, and our controllers are in Anxi or Beijing. ”
Speaking of this, the onlookers seemed to think of something, and immediately discussed it in a low voice.
As for Wu Hao, he smiled at everyone: "Yes, I think everyone has already thought of something, let's not talk about this first." Let me first introduce you to these two small intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arms, as well as this detached operation control system. ”
First of all, this intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arm here is basically the same size as our adult arm, and its basic functions are also the same. It's even more flexible, more powerful, and tougher than our human arms.
Therefore, it can replace us humans to do some high-risk work. With our detached operation control system and our VR equipment, we can control this intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arm to work in some environments that are harmful to us humans.
For example, laboratories for cultivating highly pathogenic viruses, extreme operations in high-risk environments, safe demolition and explosive disposal work, and so on.
Of course, our medical staff can also use it to perform telemedicine surgeries and save lives. ”
Bang Bang Bang ...... After hearing Wu Hao's explanation, everyone present applauded.
Wu Hao also took the opportunity to take a bottle of water from his assistant and took a sip, moistened his throat, and then continued: "This smaller miniature intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arm here, its function is the same, except that it can enter some small spaces that we humans cannot reach to carry out flexible operations on our behalf."
I believe that in some industries and some jobs, there will be a lot of such situations. Because the working space is too narrow, humans can't get in, and ordinary industrial robots are not flexible enough and not light enough to operate. Therefore, it was difficult to dispose of it, and in the end the space had to be dismantled and expanded, or had to be abandoned.
With that, then we can solve this problem very well. Not only can you reduce the associated work time, but you can also save a lot of money, and you can even make it possible to do a lot of impossible things. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused, looked at everyone and continued: "So is this just the case with our intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arm?
No, I think it still has a lot of room to grow. For example, many people may have already thought of it. That's right, this is an electronic prosthetic. ”
Wow! When Wu Hao's words were heard, the scene erupted into a burst of cheers and even more enthusiastic applause. This applause is more enthusiastic than the applause he introduced before, and it seems that in the eyes of the public, this kind of content related to everyone's health is what everyone pays the most attention to.
"Yes, this concept has always existed, and scientists and medical experts have long put forward the idea of using relevant science and technology to create electronic prostheses for those with disabilities that can always replace the functions of the original damaged limb parts.
The idea was beautiful, but we had a lot of difficulties in the actual manipulation. The first is how to create an electronic prosthetic that can be comparable to a real person's body, and it must be flexible enough, preferably to the same level as a real person's body.
It had to be light enough and it had to be the same size as our real limbs. After all, we all have a heart for beauty, and people with disabilities are even more fragile in their hearts, eager to make up for their physical defects and prevent others from casting strange eyes.
Don't look at the current level of technology of our human beings, it seems that the current level of technology is very advanced, but unfortunately, we have not been able to do these functions for a long time in the past. Occasionally, some technology companies and medical companies have launched some so-called electronic prosthetics, but the quality and function are really different opinions.
Of course, I didn't mean to laugh at them. After all, even though they know that this field is difficult, they still try to do it, and this courage is worthy of our admiration. Here, I would also like to express my deep respect to these pioneers who have worked hard in this field. ”
Bang Bang Bang ...... When his words fell, everyone also applauded warmly. This round of applause was not only because of his words, but also as a tribute to those pioneering scientists.
Wu Hao nodded, then looked at everyone and threw out a new question: "At least our imagination and expectations as I said earlier, then what difficulties and technologies are restricting our development in this field in research and development and technology." ”
