We've seen a lot of software robots, some of which can be covered in technology, by putting a perfect story on the cover of Science Robotic. Like this at the moment
no offense
There are also real scientists, who are scheming and doing the software robots. For example, we introduced the Wenli teacher and his software robot. Xiao Bian wants to introduce to you today is a conscience. That is the software robot developed by Harvard University's BioDesign Lab, which is known as a flexible gold hoop in some media.
The appearance of this robot does not look gorgeous, and the movements will not be amazing to many people. But after seeing the two pictures below, I poked my tears.
If there is a sick old man around
I can better appreciate the value of this robot.
Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, some rich diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes have become chronic diseases that plague many people. The most unacceptable of these diseases is the stroke causing hemiplegia. According to Harvard's official website, there are currently about 4 million chronic stroke survivors in the United States with hemiplegia, and 6 million people in developed countries around the world suffer from hemiplegia. In addition, there are millions of other people with similar situations. Loss of all or part of the hand's athletic ability can greatly reduce the quality of life.
Harvard's software robots are distributed in the fingers of the glove, and the patient can regain the ability to grasp by controlling the flexible gold band. This is undoubtedly another rebirth for the elderly who suffer from this disease.
The removal of hemiplegia is a soft robotic pump that can keep the heart beat. At present, the artificial blood pump is made of hard metal material, which will invade the heart, and the blood must flow through the pump body, which is easy to cause infection. It gently squeezes the heart to help it keep pumping blood and no invasiveness to the heart. It is suitable for patients with heart failure and congenital heart disease, so that they do not take medication after lifelong surgery.
The key factor in being able to do this is that the robot can be controlled by signals, not simply telescopic, but with several changes under the control of the signal.
The first type of change: scaling
â–¼
The second type of change: bending
â–¼
The third type of change: distortion
â–¼ 
Changes in the above three dimensions can also be carried out simultaneously
â–¼
The most critical of these seemingly unintentional changes is also remarkable. The red arrow in the figure is the target direction, and once specified, it is always in that direction.
The dotted line pattern in the figure represents the reservation instruction, and the solid line is the route that the robot walks out according to the specified route, which almost coincides with the specified route.
This retractable body and flexible movements can also cleverly avoid obstacles and immediately return to the original track~
The second time I encountered an obstacle, I simply pushed the obstacle away and continued to follow the original route.
The excellent performance of this robot also makes people have more perfect imagination for its future. Such as artificial muscles. When this software robot becomes smaller, more powerful, and softer and softer, it will become more and more like our muscles.
The typical representative of the soft and soft, and Da Vinci's surgical robot.
It is no accident that Da Vinci is able to monopolize the surgical robot market. Although it is a rigid structure, it is quite flexible. It is really more flexible than the human hand. No wonder it can easily separate the grape skins and stitch them perfectly.
And if the technology is ok, we let the flexible soft gold rods do the surgery, and the trauma it will cause to the patients will be greatly reduced. When the wound is less than 2 mm in diameter, many cases can be discharged on the day of surgery.
Therefore, this kind of software robot also gives us enough reason to believe that many major operations today will become minor surgery or micro surgery in the future.
A really good robot should be like this, and spare no effort to benefit mankind.
