After introducing this large piece of popular science content, Wu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to everyone at the scene: "I know, everyone must be asking us. Since we have developed an intelligent bionic synchronous robotic arm, I We also talked about electronic prosthetics and related technical content, so are we involved in this field?
The answer is yes, we have indeed established such a dedicated research and development team for intelligent bionic electronic prostheses. The members of this R&D team are all young, most of them are born in the 1990s, and there are even some born in the 1995s.
It is also this group of people that has allowed us to make breakthroughs in the technical field of intelligent bionic electronic prostheses. Next, let us invite two technicians from our R&D team to come up with our newly developed intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic equipment to give you a practical demonstration. "
Bang bang bang... In a burst of applause, only three people came up. Two of them were wearing black T-shirts printed with the words Haoyu Technology by Wu Hao and others. They were pushing a cart with various equipment on it.
The other man was wearing a sports shirt and shorts, but the most eye-catching thing was the national flag on the chest of his short-sleeved shirt and his bare and mutilated right arm.
Wu Hao, who drank some water and rested for a while, also walked to these people and introduced with a smile: "First of all, I want to introduce to you our national track and field athlete, Zhou Yongyong. He is twenty-three years old this year. , is the world champion in the men's track and field event at the 2020 Paralympic Games.
As for his arm, he suffered severe burns after accidentally touching a wire when he was a child, and eventually had to be amputated. The sudden encounter plunged the boy who was going to school normally into the bottom of his life, and even gave up on himself and committed suicide.
Fortunately, with the support of his family and teachers, he regained control bit by bit and started learning physical education. In the end, after unremitting efforts, he not only successfully selected for the national team, but also won a very precious track and field championship on behalf of our country in the Paralympic Games. "
Bang bang bang bang... Everyone present heard this and applauded the somewhat shy young man. Zhou Yongyong, on the other hand, smiled shyly at everyone, and then bowed to thank them.
Waiting for the applause to subside, Wu Haocai continued: "Although through hard work and adaptive training, the impact of the missing arm has gradually disappeared, and Zhou Yongyong also won the Olympic champion.
But as everyone knows, Paralympic champions are not as influential as Olympic champions, and it is still a track and field event that does not receive much attention. So Yongyong's life has not changed much, and life must continue. Although he had already adapted to this incomplete arm, it still brought inconvenience to his life.
More importantly, Yongyong is a person with strong self-esteem. He hopes to live and work like a normal person, instead of being treated differently or even discriminated against.
As for our research team, when conducting research experiments, we also need such an experimental tester who is in good physical condition and meets relevant requirements.
After a series of screenings, we selected Zhou Yongyong, who lives in Anxi, to serve as our chief tester of intelligent bionic electronic prostheses. Of course, we also promise that after our smart bionic electronic prosthesis is successfully developed and put into the market, we will equip it with such a smart bionic electronic prosthetic for free. "
Bang bang bang bang...
After the applause, Wu Hao signaled the staff and Zhou Yongyong to start preparations, and he continued to introduce it to everyone.
"As you can see, Zhou Yongyong had a high amputation of his right arm and basically lost his entire arm, so the third method is not very practical. As for the first method, it is too cumbersome and not suitable for him who is relatively good in other aspects. A healthy person, let alone an athlete.
Therefore, we can only use the second method, using the movement bioelectric signals in the spinal nerves to control intelligent bionic electronic prostheses.
Because the entire right arm is missing, the smart bionic electronic prosthesis cannot be fixedly installed on the residual limb. Therefore, we need to use other methods to install the entire smart bionic electronic prosthesis.
What we use here is the carrying method, using a special vest to wear and fix the robotic arm. "
While Wu Hao was introducing, Zhou Yongyong immediately turned around and showed it to everyone. This is similar to a black vest made of semi-rigid material. There are many fulcrums on the right side of the vest. Several black metal brackets extend from the fulcrums and converge on the broken part of the right arm, forming a mechanical interface.
I saw a technician picking up a white prosthetic leg from a black protective box. There are many complex cables scattered around the upper interface of this white prosthetic limb.
This technician, with the help of another technician, jointly lifted the prosthetic limb to the interface where Zhou Yongyong's right arm was missing, and then aligned and connected it.
Then one of the two technicians began to carefully connect the cables, and the other was attached to a laptop to debug.
"Because it is a human prosthetic limb, we must make it similar to a real human prosthetic limb. This is not only the size, but also the weight, color, and degree of lifelikeness. Only in this way can you feel comfortable when wearing it and can use it flexibly. .
Like the smart bionic electronic prosthetic you see, it was actually customized by us based on the condition of Zhou Yongyong’s left arm. In order to reduce weight and make it strong and durable, the entire arm is made of carbon fiber skeleton.
If necessary in the future, we will also attach an artificial bionic skin to the surface of this intelligent bionic electronic prosthesis. In this way, the appearance and even texture are consistent with the real arm, which is generally difficult to detect without touching it.
In the future, we are also planning to try to install tactile sensors on this smart bionic electronic prosthesis, so that the wearer can also enjoy the ability to touch and feel. "
The onlookers nodded and praised him when they heard his words. If the function is the same, the appearance and texture are the same, and it has a sense of touch, then there is really no difference between this intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic arm and a real human arm. If it can really be put into the market, it will save countless disabled people.
However, some people are concerned. Judging from what Wu Hao just said, what is smart bionics, what is a carbon fiber skeleton, and what are artificial bionic skins and tactile sensors.
I am afraid that the price of this smart bionic electronic prosthesis must be high, which may be difficult for many disabled people who have lost their ability to work to afford it.
Whether to rely on corporate donations or social charity, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.
