The robot era is coming to us

Rescue robot EMILY.

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), a global technology professional organization dedicated to promoting technological innovation and progress, recently invited a number of expert members to share their latest achievements in the field of robotics research. In these innovative projects, they combine a range of technologies with robots to design innovative robots for use in disaster relief, medical and biomechanical engineering.

Robot Lifeguard: Safer Drowning Savior

In the hot weather, people like to swim and cool off, so summer is often a high incidence of drowning accidents. According to the International Life Federation, about 1.2 million people die every year from drowning. In order to better protect the safety of swimmers, IEEE Fellow, Dr. Robin Murphy, Director of the Robotic Assisted Search and Rescue Center of Texas A&M University, is developing a water-skiing robot EMILY that can be used for emergency rescue. . The robot is a cylinder about 4 feet long and can float on the water and be remotely controlled by lifeguards. Rescue robot EMILY's "swim" speed is faster than lifeguards, and can quickly reach the drowning person for rescue. At the same time, thanks to remote operation, EMILY can also search and rescue during flooding.

According to Dr. Murphy, “The drowning people often struggle in the water, making it difficult for lifeguards to get close, and even threatening the personal safety of lifeguards. When designing the EMILY search and rescue mode, we specifically refer to the theory of spatial relations. This is a The Department of Psychology, which studies how people use space for communication, explores the impact of space on human behavior, communication, and social interaction. From this, we ensure that EMILY is rescued with more gentle behavior, allowing the drowning to allow the robot to approach, and Take them to safety."

Lightweight, low-energy mechanical bones: the gospel of people with reduced mobility

Research results of clutch devices based on electrosorption technology, IEEE member, Professor Steve Collins, biomechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, USA, developed a mechanical exoskeleton that can help patients with disabilities or rehabilitation during their mobility. . This lightweight, low-energy, and highly flexible mechanic bone helps people with reduced mobility to do more simple daily tasks, such as lifting and moving heavier objects. This mechanical skeleton uses a clutch device for electrosorption technology, which is an upgraded version of Professor Collins' previous research and development, the unpowered ankle exoskeleton. The unpowered ankle exoskeleton helps the wearer reduce energy consumption by 7% while walking.

“When conceiving this electro-adhesive clutch device, we focused on how to convert energy at low power.” Professor Collins said, “In prosthetic and mechanical bone design, the most difficult thing is to develop A practical function that really helps the wearer. With electro-adsorption technology, we have successfully assembled hundreds of independently controlled thin, low-consumption small clutches into a single mechanical skeleton, completely overturning the inherent mechanical system design. ”

Single Fabric Sofa

Single Fabric Sofa is a recliner sofa with one seat. It's cover materials is fabric which is safe, green and environmentally friendly, comfortable cloth, made of wood frame and fine sponge, which brings people warm, comfortable and environmentally friendly family living environment.

Fabric sofa is not as stiff as solid wood sofa, you`ll feel very comfortable when you sit on it, and breathable performance of fabric sofa is good. The soft cloth is especially comfortable to touch, making people relax and feel the leisure.

Fabric sofa is suitable for small space, it makes more sofa designs and colors than leather sofa, and it`s warm in winter, and breathable in summer, new fabric sofa won't give out a pungent leather smell at the same time.

Fabric sofa gives a person a sense of leisure, and strong comfort, let a person have the feeling of relax when get home.
