Chapter 501: A prosthetic limb could also be a weapon
As you can see, Zhou Yongyong has basically put on this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic. It may seem like a bit of a hassle, yes, that's how it is at the moment. Because it is still in the testing and development stage, the entire intelligent bionic electronic prosthesis is not in its final form.
Our goal is that, eventually, we launch a product that the wearer can wear in two minutes without the help of anyone else. In this case, it is about the same speed of dressing, and it will not affect the daily life of the wearer. ”
After saying this, Wu Hao motioned for Zhou Yongyong to turn around, and then pointed to the row of flashing devices behind him that looked a bit like centipedes: "This is our spinal cord nerve bioelectric signal sensor, which can accurately capture the motor bioelectric signals transmitted by our brain to the spinal cord nerves."
After our sensors capture these motion bioelectric signals, they are calculated by the intelligent system on board, and then converted into control signals to drive the transmission device on this intelligent bionic electronic prosthesis, so that it can move according to its own mind.
Theoretically, this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic is suitable for the vast majority of people with disabilities. It's just ......"
Wu Hao paused for a moment before replying: "Let's put it this way, most of the relevant disabled people can control this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic very well after some adaptive training. The more time passes, the more proficient the handling becomes, and even at the end of the day, the wearer will feel the same as a healthy arm.
However, this also creates the problem that if a person is disabled for too long, our body will be self-adapting, and the motor bioelectrical signals transmitted by the brain to the nerves of the spinal cord will remove this part of the control signal from the damaged limb. In this case, it will be difficult to control the intelligent bionic electronic prosthesis with a motor disability with neurological loss.
To put it simply, because it has been so long, you no longer have the awareness to use the mutilated limb. So first you have to get used to it slowly, and then you have to develop this awareness, which is a relatively slow process.
Just like Zhou Yongyong, he was amputated when he was twelve, and now he is twenty-three years old, eleven years have passed, and his brain and body have accepted the fact that his right arm is mutilated.
At this time, it will take a long time to get him to get used to having his right arm again.
Therefore, for people with this disability, we recommend that the sooner you use the intelligent bionic electronic prosthesis, the better. Not only will the adaptation time be short, but it will also not affect my normal life.
Like Zhou Yongyong, he has actually been adapting for almost a year. So let's ask him to show you this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic. ”
Bang Bang Bang ...... The applause of everyone rang out warmly, and Zhou Yongyong also stepped forward.
I saw him take a look at the intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic on his right arm, and then looked at everyone and laughed. At the same time, I saw that this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic slowly raised its hand, and then waved at everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yongyong began to use this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic to move, sometimes with his arms straightened, sometimes with his hands raised, sometimes with his arms turned, and sometimes with his fists clenched.
And this also caused bursts of applause from everyone, and Zhou Yongyong did not stop. I saw him pick up the table tennis racket on the platform in front of him, then pick up a table tennis ball, and start to play with the ball. I saw that under the control of his racket, the ping pong ball kept bouncing on the racket and did not hit the ground for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Hao also picked up a table tennis racket, and then had a small fight with Zhou Yongyong on the booth. However, his skills were too bad, and he was caught by him after two rounds of ball.
Hahahaha...... Seeing Wu Hao's embarrassment when he hit the table tennis ball, everyone laughed.
And Wu Hao also put down the racket in embarrassment, and complained in his heart, how could Lao Tzu not even be able to beat a person with a prosthetic.
Zhou Yongyong smiled, and then put down the table tennis racket as well. He smiled at everyone and then picked up a brush with an intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic, and then dipped the ink very skillfully, held his breath and concentrated, and then waved it on the red paper in front of him.
The speed of writing was very fast, and after Zhou Yongyong put down the brush, he immediately lifted the red paper with both hands. I saw that on this square of red paper, a big word 'Fu' was written.
This word 'Fu' is naturally not as good as some calligraphy, but it is much higher than the level of ordinary people who write calligraphy.
"Good!" The crowd applauded one after another, not because of how well the word 'Fu' was written, but because of the flexibility and accuracy of this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic.
"Thank you." Wu Hao thanked Zhou Yongyong, and then smiled at everyone: "It seems that this display is very successful, and there is no accidental overturn." ”
Hehehehe......
Amid the chuckles of the crowd, he continued: "Actually, I was worried just now, I was afraid that there would be a glitch in the presentation. The good thing is that everything went well, and it did well today.
This intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic is not perfect, and there are still many problems on it that have not been solved, and it is only in the development and testing stage.
As much as I would love to get it to help as many disabled people as possible, it won't be able to go into production anytime soon.
Yes, unfortunately, I feel so too. This smart bionic electronic prosthetic has cost me a lot of money, and to be honest, I want to go crazy every time I see the bill. ”
Hahahaha......
As a joke, Wu continued: "It's not an ordinary commodity, so its listing requires a series of rigorous testing and approval processes. We also can't put products that are safety hazards, as well as bad and unreliable products, and are not likely to be used by patients. Of course, the relevant regulatory authorities think the same way.
Secondly, there are some other problems. For example, there is one issue that is more controversial. Do you think this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic is a prosthetic limb or a weapon?
Because it is a mechanical structure, and it has a certain destructive ability compared to us, it will be more powerful if it is slightly modified.
So such an intelligent bionic electronic prosthesis, can it pass the security check, can it get on planes and trains, these are all questions.
Finally, there is the issue of cost, its R&D expenses are very high, and the manufacturing cost is also very high. Then it is destined that its cost will not be too low, and the selling price will not be low.
However, it is often difficult for people with disabilities to find employment, and most of their family conditions are not very good, so how can they afford such a large amount of money to wear intelligent bionic electronic prosthetics.
We are a company, not a charity, and we can't always do public welfare at a loss, so it's worth thinking about relevant solutions together. ”
