"Repair glove" is a device implanted with special actuators and sensors, which can imitate the biomechanics of human hands. The purpose of designing "repair gloves" in the manipulator research laboratory is to make a "coat" with artificial muscles. This coat can help the human body to move again. Scientists, programmers and inventors all over the world are developing innovative technologies to copy, replace or help the human body.
● Bionic heart
CATO is an in-situ artificial heart, which can completely imitate the human heart. It consists of blood chamber, valve and special driving device that can suck blood into pulmonary artery and aorta.
The biggest challenge facing scientists is to transplant artificial heart equipment, including power supply, into the limited space where the heart is usually located. Scientists have achieved great success in experiments with cattle, which has also created favorable conditions for him to successfully apply for a patent for orthotopic artificial heart transplantation.
● Neurotransformation
An Australian programmer developed a system. According to this system, people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can communicate with others in the future without being limited by their own disabilities. Another scientist has developed a new man-machine interface: a person can receive neural signals by using electrodes on the skin surface, and then can communicate with each other after artificial intelligence analysis. After the cooperation of two scientists, this system is called neural transformation technology.
● See the world with your ears.
Dr Leslie Kay designed a sonar device, which can emit ultrasonic waves and find the reflections of other objects and obstacles. These data are then converted into a series of audible sounds that correspond in frequency to sounds from distant objects. With a little training, the human brain seems to be able to subconsciously transform these sounds into spatial imagination.
This technology won the 1998 World Communication Innovation Award, and now blind people all over the world will use this technology to walk confidently in strange areas.
● Artificial muscle
The research of artificial muscle began in the 1940s, but it didn't make great progress until recently 10, because research centers all over the world developed special polymers and intelligent materials. In the future, mankind is likely to see the strongest person in the world compete with the most powerful bionic arm to save people's lives and improve the quality of life of the disabled.
