Ukuzula Amarobhothi wenza izinto ezinhle eSan Francisco, eCalifornia, futhi lapha sithola okukhethekile, ukubukeka kwangaphakathi! Umkhiqizo wabo wokuqala wokuhweba i i-robotic ski exoskeleton okuyinto wena angazama le sizini ezayo. Funda ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nokuthi isebenza kanjani futhi ubone ngaphakathi kwehhovisi likaRoam.
Noma, ungabuka ividiyo engezansi ohambweni futhi ubone lezi zinto zisebenza:
Kwaqala kanjani ukuThuthukiswa kwalawa maSkeleton Ski?
Ukube ubucabanga ukuthi kungukugxuma okungajwayelekile ukunquma ukudala ama-exoskeletons ama-snowsports njengomsebenzi wokuqala wenkampani, uzobe uqinisile. Kuvela ukuthi isicelo sokuqala salesi sikhangiso sasingahlangene nokushushuluza.
Njengokunye ukuqala kwamarobhothi laphaya (isb iRobot), ukungena kokuqala kwemali kanye nomzamo wokuqala wokuthuthuka wawungowezicelo zamasosha. I-COO ye-Roam Robotics, Nikhil Dhongade, yangitshela ukuthi iphrojekthi yokuqala ephumelele eyenzelwe i- INDLELA Yempi Yempis.
Ngaphambi Kokuzula
Ngisho nangaphambi kwalowo msebenzi wezempi, noma kunjalo, isisekelo samakhono nobuchwepheshe bokwenza uRoam aphile sasihlanganiswa. Umphathi kanye noMsunguli, UTim Swift, mhlawumbe ungomunye wochwepheshe abahamba phambili kwezobuchwepheshe be-exoskeleton emhlabeni. Ngitshelwa ukuthi lokhu kuyingxenye ngoba uhlakaniphile ngokuhlekisa. Enye ingxenye ivela ekusebenzeni kule niche ethile isikhathi eside.
Ucwaningo lwakhe lwaqala esengumfundi. USwift uphethe i-Ph.D. kubunjiniyela bemishini kusuka ku-UC Berkeley. Lapho, waqala ukwakha omunye umsebenzi oyisisekelo wendalo yakhe yakamuva. Kamuva, wayebuye abe ngu-1 wabantu bokuqala abayi-3 Ama-Ekso Bionics, enye inkampani ephumelelayo yezimboni. Ngo-2013, weqa waya ku Okunyelab. Umsunguli waleyo nkampani, uSaul Griffith, wayenombono wokuthuthukisa amarobhothi asezingeni eliphakeme kanye nobuchwepheshe bamandla avuselelekayo. I-Otherlab kungaba yi-niche ne-independent Skunk Works yokuhlola izinkampani ezinenzuzo kulezi zindawo. Ngonyaka olandelayo, ngasekupheleni kuka-2014, uSwift wavula iRoam Robotic evela ku-Otherlab.
Ubufakazi Bombono
Ubuchwepheshe obabuyintuthuko eyinhloko yokuguqula iRoam Robotics ibe yinkampani entsha buhlobene nesisindo sendabuko (Hhayi!) amasosha. Eminye imiklamo isebenzisa insimbi eningi enesisindo esikhulu. Vele, uma usinda kakhulu ama-robotics, aba nzima kakhulu ukuthi abantu bawasebenzise futhi abajwayele ukusebenza kangcono. USwift neqembu lakhe bazibuze ukuthi basengakwazi yini ukwakha ama-exoskeleton anamandla kepha kunalokho bawenze ikakhulukazi ngamapulasitiki nezindwangu ezinesisindo esincane.
Ngalo mklamo we-Navy SEALs, bakuthola lokho Yebo, bangakha ama-exoskelement angamarobhothi nge- ikakhulukazi ipulasitiki nendwangu. Yebo, nabo babenjalo ilula kakhulu ngesisindo! Futhi yebo, la ma-exoskeletons ayenjalo isenamandla ngempela. Lezi zinto bezinga vumela abantu ukuthi bagijime ngokushesha futhi bandise ukukhuthazela kwabo. Manje, ungayakha kanjani inkampani enenzuzo eletha lobu buchwepheshe kubathengi?
Kungani Ungagxili Kuzicelo Zabantu Abakhubazekile?
UDhongade ungitshele ukuthi bavame ukubuzwa ukuthi kungani umzamo wokuqala wabathengi wawungewona owabantu abakhubazekile. Ngenkathi kungekho okutshelwayo kuzo zonke izimakethe ukuthi bazoletha lobu buchwepheshe ngokuzayo, bekungeyona into ehlakaniphile yokufaka isicelo sokuqala.
Kungani kungenjalo? Ngeshwa ngemibono eminingi yokuzidela, ezomnotho yinto. I-Roam Robotics ibidinga ukuthola uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-niche olunenqwaba yamakhasimende angaba khona angakwazi ukukhokhela lobu buchwepheshe obubizayo. Kwakudingeka kube nomkhiqizo wokuqala ophumelela kakhulu uma kungake kube khona ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza.
Isiphakamiso Samanani: Ukuhamba Okungaphezulu
Ekufuneni kwabo, babekugcina engqondweni inzuzo esemqoka ye-Roam's tech: ukwandisa ukuhamba komsebenzisi. Ngakho-ke yimuphi umkhakha onesixuku samakhasimende anengeniso elahlwayo abangajabulela ukuhamba okwandayo? Ingani, ukushushuluza!
Lapho usufinyelele eminyakeni yobudala obuphakathi, uqala ukuhlangabezana nokwehla okuphawulekayo kwalokho ongakwenza emithambekeni. Kepha kuthiwani uma ukwazi ukwandisa ukukhuthazela kwakho bese wengeza amandla emisipha yokufakelwa? Hhayi-ke ungahle ushushuluze njengoba wenza ngenkathi usemncane: ukuphuma emathunjini kalula futhi uthole amahora amaningi emilenzeni yakho (futhi lelo thikithi lokuphakamisa olikhokhele).
Isebenza kanjani?
Kuyo yonke imibuzo yami yezobuchwepheshe, ngidluliselwe kuyo U-Ashley Swartz, Ithimba lobuchwepheshe lihola eRoam Robotic. USwartz naye ungumuntu engikanye naye I-Kettering University i-alumna. Kwakukuhle ukubona ukuthi imfundo yethu yobunjiniyela engakhandleki ikhokha lapho eqhubeka nokwenza okungenakwenzeka!
I-2-Part System: I-Exoskeleton ne-Power Pack
USwartz usikhombisa kuvidiyo izingxenye ezimbili eziyinhloko zohlelo ekukhishweni kwabo okokuqala kwalo mkhiqizo. Kukhona ingxenye efana ne-brace exoskeleton oyibhinca emlenzeni ngamunye, futhi kukhona "nephakethe lamandla" oligqoka emhlane wakho.
Ingxenye ye-brace iqukethe i-actuator yomoya etholakala edolweni.
Iphakethe lamandla liphakela amandla exoskeleton ngentambo ehlehlekayo edla phansi.
Ukuze ulawule isistimu, ucindezela izinkinobho kusilawuli esisethangeni lephakethe lamandla. Ungakwazi uyivule noma uyicime futhi ungakushintsha ukuthi isikhuthazo sikunikeza amandla angakanani.
Kwenzekani Ngokwenyama Ne-Exoskeleton?
Ngangifuna ukwazi kabanzi ukuthi amabutho asetshenziswa kanjani ngale nto, ngakho-ke uSwartz wachaza ukunyakaza kwe-actuator yomoya.
Usitshela ukuthi i-actuator yomoya ifana nesiphethu somoya. Uma uguqa ngamadolo, i-actuator iyaphambuka. Uma uqondisa imilenze yakho, i-actuator inflates enikela emandleni emisipha yakho edinga leso senzo.
Noma i-actuator ihlanjululiwe, noma kunjalo, uthola ukusekelwa. Ngezansi, uSwartz ukhombisa ukuhlala ngaphakathi kubakaki nge-actuator ehlisiwe. I-brace ifakwe ihange ngezinyawo, futhi ibhande lisongwa ngemuva kwethanga. Ngakho-ke, intambo ephezulu ingathatha okunye kwalowo mthwalo emzimbeni wakho, njengokuthi nje ubuhleli esihlalweni.
Lapho-ke, lapho umlenze uqala ukunweba, i-actuator ehlakaniphile iqala ukunweba. Lokhu kufaka isandla emandleni adingekayo ukudonsa umzimba wakho njengoba idolo lakho liqondisa.
Amagama ezobuchwepheshe ayo yonke le wizardry “Isizo lokusiza” (amandla athe xaxa okucindezela umlenze wakho uqonde, imvamisa wenziwa kakhulu ama-quadriceps akho) futhi "Ukudamba kwe-flexion" (ukusiza ama-quads akho abe lula kuleyo ndawo yokuhlala).
Kepha Linda, Kuningi: AI!
Izinhlelo kufanele zifake i-AI kulawa madivayisi ngakho izofunda ukuthi ushibilika kanjani! Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ingakwazi ukuzihlelela indlela esebenza ngayo ukwamukela isitayela sokushushuluza komuntu.
Ezinye izinhlelo zihlala zibhekile ukwenza ubuchwepheshe obuyisisekelo kube yipulatifomu abangayisebenzisela izinhlelo zokusebenza ezahlukahlukene, ezizayo. Ngaleyo ndlela, lapho zinwebela ezinye izimboni, zizonciphisa ubuchwepheshe obusha bokusebenza okungafuneki.
Ngaphakathi kwamaHhovisi amaRobhothi
Kwakudingeka ngihleke lapho kunenkulumo yokuthi “amakamelo” abekelwe imihlangano yethu eRoam. Isikhala esikhulu sivulekile ngokuphelele ngaphandle kwezindonga ezihlukanisayo.
Olunye uvivinyo lwasendlini lusebenzisa lesi sakhiwo esikhulu seTreadway. Imvamisa ububona lo mfana usesibhedlela nodokotela ehleli ohlakeni lwayo olukhulu esiza isiguli.
Umhlangano wenziwa khona lapho phansi kwehholo kusuka ehhovisi labo eliyinhloko, yize izinto eziningi zenziwa kwenye indawo (cishe cishe ngama-99.99% azo zonke izinto ezenziwe noma kuphi namuhla).
Bayaqasha!
Ngenkathi ngesikhathi sale ngxoxo bekunezikhundla eziningi ezivulekile, njengokushicilela, okungenani Indima engu-1 ephezulu yobunjiniyela kusalindwe ukubanjwa.
Ngendlela, kuyasiza uma ungumuntu oshibilika eqhweni noma omunye umgijimi. Yize kungesona isidingo, ngokuqinisekile kuzokwenza umsebenzi wakho kube lula ukwenza ngempumelelo. U-Ashley Swartz, umgijimi uqobo, usitshele enye yezinzuzo ezinhle kakhulu zokusebenza eRoam Robotic ukuthi ukhokhelwa ukudlala emithambekeni. Uma unjiniyela angaqonda izidingo zomsebenzisi ngokubuka komuntu wokuqala, lokho kusiza kakhulu ekwakhiweni. Futhi zizohlala zikhona izidingo zokuhlola umhlaba wangempela!
Ukubanjwa: UTim Swift ungitshele ukuthi banenqubomgomo ye-no * &% hole. Yize lezo kuyizindaba ezimbi zemigodi engu- * &%, lokho kuyizindaba ezinhle zawo wonke umuntu.
Uma unentshisekelo yokufaka isicelo, hlola eyabo ikhasi lemisebenzi lapha.
Zizame eTahoe Kulo nyaka!
Ingabe ungomunye walabo abathola kuqala futhi ufuna ukuba ngomunye wabokuqala ukuzama la ma-skoskele angaphandle? Ungakwenza!
Uhlobo lwakamuva kuhloswe ngalo ukuthi lutholakalele ukuqashwa kule sizini ezayo ye-ski. Ngesikhathi sokuxoxwa, bekubukeka inguqulo entsha esathuthukiswa njengamanje izoba seTahoe cishe nge "Thanksgiving-ish". (Futhi nezinye izindawo zokuvakasha lapho uSwartz ayengaqiniseki ngo-100% ngaleso sikhathi.)
On leli khasi, ungenza ukubhuka ukuze uqashe izindawo ezishushuluza e-ski abazibize nge-Elevate Ski ngezindawo eziningi zokungcebeleka.
Uma indawo yokuvakasha eseduze ingekho ohlwini, nawe unga engeza igama lakho kulolu hlu lokulinda ukwaziswa lapho i-Elevate Ski iza endaweni oyithandayo.
Sizokubona emithambekeni!
