Ngenxa yezinto eziningi ezintsha emhlabeni wezobuchwepheshe, izitho zokufakelwa zisebenza kahle kakhulu futhi kwesinye isikhathi zishibhile, kepha ukwakheka kuvame ukufana. Kuthiwani uma ungathola okuthile okuhluke kakhulu okukwenza uzizwe njengeqhawe? Yilapho iBristol isuselwa khona Vula ama-Bionics uyangena.
Inkampani ethola umklomelo eyasungulwa eBristol, eNgilandi ihlose ukudala izandla zamarobhothi eziphansi zabanqunyelwe izitho, ama-hobbyists, nabaphenyi ngokufanayo. Ngephrojekthi yabo yamanje yokuzibandakanya bahlanganyele nayo I-Disney Accelerator, isinyathelo esisha sakwaDisney ukusiza abasunguli bezinto ezintsha ukwenza imibono yabo ibe ngokoqobo. Futhi bavumela izinkampani ezikhethiwe ukuthi zifinyelele kubungcweti bokudala beWalt Disney Company futhi futhi zivumela ukuthi imiklamo yabo isetshenziswe ngaphandle kwezimali zasebukhosini.
I-Open Bionics isebenzise lokhu kubambisana ukuletha umugqa omusha wezingalo zamarobhothi emhlabeni – ulayini wengalo wokufakelwa ophefumulelwe iDisney. Yini leyo? Yebo, kukhona ukubukeka okumnandi Iron Man ingalo. Eminye imiklamo iphefumulelwe yi-movie ethandwayo Frozen kanye ne-franchise engapheli yokwenza imali I-star wars. Futhi le miklamo ayenzelwe izingane kuphela; nabantu abadala bangangena ebumnandini. Akubukeki nje kuphela ukuthi zipholile, kepha ingalo ngayinye inomphumela wayo okhethekile: Izicwebezeli zezingalo eziphefumulelwe ezinjenge-Elsa, i-Iron Man eyodwa ine-pulsar blaster, kanti i-Star Wars eyenzelwe inenkinobho evumela amalambu ukuthi ashintshe imibala.
Ngaphandle kokubukeka kupholile, ziyasebenza futhi. Kukhona uhlelo lwe-LED esandleni se-Iron Man esikhanyisa futhi sibonise amasiginali emisipha, esivumela odokotela nabazali ukuthi babone ukuthi kwenzekani ngaphansi. Kukhona futhi nemoto yokudlidliza exhumanisa amandla okubamba kothile, kepha ingaqhumisa irokhethi ibangele ukuthi isandla sithuthumele kumfashini kaTony Stark.
Kuzwakala kukuhle, akunjalo? Manje yini intengo? UJoel Gibbard, umsunguli wenkampani, okukhulunywe ngaye The Independent ukuthi ama-prosthetics kufanele abize ngaphansi kuka- $ 3000 futhi kufanele abe ngaphandle ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-2016. Njengoba inkampani iyaziqhenya ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D ukudala izitho, akumangazi ukuthi kushibhile kangaka. UGibbard naye ukholelwa ukuthi lezi zitho zokufakelwa ezisesitayeleni zizoshintsha indlela abantu ababheka ngayo abantu abanqunywe izitho.
“Amandla alawa bantu bokufakelwa ukuthi umbono womphakathi uhluke ngokuphelele. Ngokungazelelwe ababuzwa ukuthi balahlekelwe kanjani yisandla, babuzwa ukuthi basithathephi isandla sabo serobhothi esipholile, sizwa kanjani, futhi sisebenza kanjani? Iphenya ngokuphelele ukuqonda ngama-degree angama-180. Okungahle kuthathwe njengobuthakathaka babo obukhulu kubonakala njengamandla abo amakhulu. ”
Ngale miklamo emisha ephefumulelwe yiDisney, izingane nabantu abadala ngokufanayo bangaba ngamaqhawe abo noma inkosazana ngenkathi ibanika ukuzethemba okukhulu. Buka ividiyo engezansi ukuze ubheke ukuthi yini i-Open Bionics okwazi ukuyenza njengamanje.
