2 1 century's five great inventions affecting human life;
1, repair gloves 2, bionic heart 3, nerve transformation 4, nerve transformation 5, ears see the world
In the 2 1 century, many surprising technological innovations will have a great impact on human daily life. In 2004, the scientist who won the "Eureka Inspiring Science Award" for "Repairing Gloves" declared that the prediction of science fiction is not far from coming true.
● Repair gloves
"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 a blood chamber, a valve and a special driving device, which 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 only through the tips of neural signals in the future. Another scientist has developed a new man-machine interface: a person can receive neural signals by using electrodes on the skin surface, and then communicate with them through 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. Then, the data is converted into a series of audible sounds, which correspond in frequency to the sounds made by 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 around the world developed special polymers and intelligent materials. In the future, mankind is likely to see the strongest man in the world compete with the most powerful bionic arm.
