Chapter 148: New Progress in Thigh Prosthetics (3/3 Subscription)
"By the way, prepare a car for me, I'm going to the research center." When Wang Qian was about to leave, Chen Shen suddenly remembered.
"Okay." Wang Qian agreed, "You go to the gate and wait." ”
Chen Shen waited under the gate of the base for a few minutes, and the military warrior he had been sitting in before quickly drove over, and the two old acquaintances were still in the car.
After getting into the car, I said hello, and the car drove smoothly to the prosthetic research center.
Out of the high wall of the base, the scenery along the way has changed a lot, the woods on the road have been sawed down, and there are no obstacles around, it is as smooth as a grassland, and a rabbit can see it running on the road.
When it comes to the research center, the changes here are not small, Dasheng Security, which is invested by Dasheng Industries, has taken over the security work here, and the entire research center looks loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Ma Zhen came out to pick him up as usual, while introducing him to the recent changes.
"We recently acquired one of the top prosthetic companies in China, and we have hired a new group of researchers who are very experienced in the study of leg prosthetics."
"With their rich experience, coupled with the damper design you sent before, our work on structural design and drive system optimization has been completely completed, and now only the operating system is missing."
As soon as he talked about work, Ma Zhen seemed very excited, and took Chen Shen's arm and hurriedly walked inside.
As soon as I entered the workshop, the number of people really increased, and the small team of more than a dozen people had become more than 80 people, and various functional departments had also been set up, embarking on the road of the regular army.
The people in Ma Zhen's team greeted him calmly before, but the newly recruited researchers were not calm.
Before they entered the research center, they heard from the old staff that Chen Shen would occasionally come to inspect, but they didn't expect to come!
When Chen Shen greeted them, many of them were still confused, and they were clever enough to ask for autographs and group photos.
Chen Shen took a group photo with everyone, and then listened to them talk about the current progress.
The current research is on the thigh prosthesis, and preliminary results have been obtained.
And just like the Nezha generation, they also changed the calf prosthesis on the basis of this prosthetic.
So far they have made two samples, a thigh prosthesis and a calf prosthesis.
Thigh prostheses are much more complex than arm prostheses, and require more in-depth research in computer science, bionics, mechanics, and other fields.
However, the people present are all from the elite team of the domestic prosthetic industry, and the problems in these fields are naturally difficult for them.
Ma Zhen and the others took Chen Shen to see the sample.
According to Chen Shen's requirements, the prosthetic limb is not made into a common industry with a sense of disobedience, and the appearance of adding a pole on the foot board, and then adding a pole and a socket on the knee joint is really unsightly.
Instead, it follows the image of the human leg, and a sturdy titanium alloy frame is designed on the outside of the calf and thigh to simulate the shape of human muscles.
However, the thighs will be slightly thinner than normal to avoid friction with the body.
"Our prosthetic follows the mainstream setup in the world, with a microprocessor and controllable hydraulic cylinders installed at the knee joint, which can be controlled directly by the installer through our brain control device, which can meet multiple walking speeds at the same time." Ma Zhen introduced Chen Shen with great interest.
"At the same time, we also made a unique detachable design for the footboard." Ma Zhen lowered the prosthetic leg and showed off its foot.
This set of foot plates imitates the design of human foot bones, and each part corresponds to three parts, roughly divided into three parts, corresponding to the toes to heels of the foot plate, just like the human foot plate, such a design not only meets Chen Shen's requirements, but also provides additional cushioning when walking, and at the same time has a strong ability to adapt to the terrain.
Chen Shen nodded with satisfaction, glanced at it again, and suddenly realized that there was no longer a data cable connected to the sensor cap on the prosthetic leg.
"You converted your brain control device to a wireless connection?" He asked.
Ma Zhen smiled, "We felt that the thigh prosthesis was different from the hand prosthesis, dragging a sensor cap with a line, and the line was connected from the head to the thigh, which must affect the use and daily life, so we tried it, but I didn't expect it to be really successful." ”
"Well, that's a good change." Chen Shen praised.
It is not too difficult to install a wireless transmission module on the brain control device, after all, it is essentially just the transmission of data, and what he values is Ma Zhen's serious and responsible heart.
Ma Zhen and the others also turned out the video of the previous experiment and showed it to Chen Shen.
Chen Shen watched it carefully, and the prosthetic limbs in the video changed little by little, and only then did they slowly improve to their current appearance.
In his current form, the volunteer who wore a prosthetic leg for testing walked on flat ground and his posture looked the same as that of a normal person, and if he wore a pair of trousers, he would not be able to tell that he was a person with a disability in the leg.
At present, even the most advanced intelligent bionic legs on the market, after a long period of training, walking on flat ground can still be seen to be somewhat unnatural.
Chen Shen is very satisfied with this:
"Now it's Q&A time, if you have any questions, let's ask them now."
Usually when he comes over, he will explain Ma Zhen's doubts, and this time is naturally no exception.
As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhen and the others immediately stopped being polite, invited Chen Shen to the computer, and immediately started asking their own questions.
Everyone surrounded Chen Shen in the middle like a moon, forming one wall after another, and it was difficult for others to squeeze in.
The new employee watched the scene in front of him outside in a daze.
"Usually when the great gods come here, is it like this?" A new employee with glasses asked.
"Of course!" An employee who was squeezed out tiptoed said, "As long as you ask a question, less than half an hour can save you months of trouble.
The new employee touched the volume of his hair and immediately joined the human wall......
The Q&A time lasted until the afternoon, and Chen Shen finished answering all the questions raised by everyone.
Those new employees were completely convinced, they had a backlog of problems that had not been solved for more than a month, and when they reached Chen Shen's hands, they gave answers in less than two minutes, such efficiency is simply not human!
At this time, Chen Shen, who seemed to be inhuman in the eyes of everyone, was assigning a new task to Ma Zhen:
"After completing the current project, you have the next task."
Ma Zhen: "What is the mission?" ”
"Research a brain-controlled exoskeleton."
"Ahem!" Ma Zhen frowned, "Brain-controlled exoskeleton? ”
He looked at Chen Shen in surprise, making sure he wasn't joking.
Chen Shen shook his head and told him what He Anshou had entrusted to him before.
"This thing is based on the Nezha generation and the new thigh prosthesis, plus a supporting skeleton, it's not a big problem."
Chen Shen's tone was indifferent, but in Ma Zhen's opinion, this was a ticket to the Mediterranean......
