Chinese Exoskeleton Robot Helps Foreign Woman with Disability Stand and Walk Again
At the 139th Canton Fair, a foreign woman with a disability was able to "stand" again with the help of a Chinese exoskeleton robot. Netizens at the scene exclaimed, "This is the power of technology!" This year's Canton Fair has set up a dedicated service robot area for three consecutive sessions, becoming one of the most watched areas of the fair. On the first day of the fair, an Argentine businessman in a wheelchair queued up in front of an exoskeleton robot booth.
Half an hour later, with the help of her companions and staff, she struggled to stand up and put on the exoskeleton device. The woman, who had lost her normal walking ability, "stood" up again with the assistance of the device and slowly took a few steps.
Witnessing this scene, her companions were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. According to the booth staff, this product is a waist-assisted exoskeleton, which mainly helps people with mobility impairments improve their walking ability. Its working principle is: by sensing subtle human movements to identify movement intentions, and then using motor force to assist the legs to complete walking movements.
In the service robot area, in addition to exoskeleton robots, there are also AI simultaneous translation glasses, patrol robots, automatic cleaning robots and other types of products.
They are no longer exhibits in the laboratory, but "best-selling" products that have been mass-produced, are perceptible and connectable, and have also become a new business card for China's intelligent manufacturing "going global."
