Chapter 286 Flexible Exoskeleton - Mr. Yuan

Wu Zhou never paid attention to Professor Zhang's matter from beginning to end, as long as the company's legal department was in charge.

The only reason why we haven't taken action until now is because we have been collecting evidence before.

After all, everything must be based on evidence. At the beginning, when Professor Zhang was not in a hurry, he should be a little more careful and ambiguous in his words.

But then he just drifted away and spoke categorically, which is tantamount to conclusive evidence.

After all, the Internet is not a lawless place.

There should be such a punishment, after all, the cost of spreading rumors is too low.

As the saying goes, if you open your mouth to spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them.

However, although Professor Zhang deserved his punishment, some netizens of "Notre Dame" still felt that the Aiying Group's method was a bit excessive.

Moreover, such a strong attitude towards 'ordinary' passers-by actually weakens the company's favorability among the people.

Ordinary people will subconsciously stand in the perspective of the weak and speak for the weak, thus forgetting 'right and wrong'.

However, the Internet is noisy, and Wu Zhou has been spending this time in the company's 'future' laboratory.

A set of custom-sized 'clothes' were found inside.

Said to be clothes, in fact, it should be said to be 'exoskeleton' equipment.

The current main exoskeleton devices are still a bit too bulky and have a mediocre feel.

Since it is an exoskeleton, it is normal for the bones to be a bit hard.

But for consumers, the outer set of bones will be a bit uncomfortable, and it is also a little troublesome to wear, and the features are too obvious.

Overall, it is too obvious, too hard, and troublesome to wear.

Then Wu Zhou Company happened to discover a relatively good electrodeformable material DI some time ago. It is a polymer material that can deform under the action of an electric field. It has many characteristics such as good flexibility, fast response speed, and low driving voltage.

First, the DI material is made into a ring-shaped actuator, which is fixed on the front and rear sides of the hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint respectively, forming a closed circuit. When current passes through, the DI actuator will produce deformations of radial contraction and axial elongation, thereby assisting flexion or extension of the joint.

Pressure sensors are installed on the soles and waist to detect human-machine forces on the feet and ground support reaction forces to obtain kinematic information of the lower limbs. Based on the changes in the pressure signal, the wearer's gait stage is judged, such as touching the ground, supporting, swinging, etc.

Some areas on the clothes use flexible photovoltaic materials + a battery design to provide energy support, and a 'health watch' is added to control the size and direction of the current and power supply through a wireless link. Based on the gait information, the controller sends different current signals to different DI drivers according to the preset control strategy to achieve timely and appropriate assistance to the lower limb joints.

Finally, some flexible cloth straps are installed on the legs and shoes to fix the DI driver and transmit power. The width and length of the cloth strap should be designed according to the size and shape of the human lower limbs to ensure wearing comfort and power-assisting efficiency. The path of the cloth tape must be carefully planned to avoid excessive pressure and friction on human skin.

The final evaluation of the assist performance is about 6-39 kg of assist. The amount of assistance required for specific needs will be based on the power adjusted by the user.

The newly designed 'flexible exoskeleton' clothes are custom-made for Mr. Yuan.

After the product came out, Wu Zhou flew directly to Hainan and delivered it in person. He didn't have this opportunity before, but now he can meet this contemporary 'God of Agriculture'.

"Mr. Yuan, this is the flexible exoskeleton equipment I talked to you about before. It is the latest product developed by our company. This time, you have to work hard to be a guinea pig. If there are any disadvantages, please tell me at any time. I."

"This is a good thing, no trouble, no trouble. What kind of exoskeleton are you talking about? It looks just like clothes!" Mr. Yuan waved his hand. If this kind of thing can really be put on the market, it will really be what Wu Zhou said. If it has that kind of effect, it will definitely be great news for the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet and filial children.

Think about the elderly who originally had to lie in bed and need 24-hour care. After wearing this 'clothes', they can be independent. The elderly can live with dignity, and the children can also worry less.

This is why Wu Zhou asked him to help test the product and even agreed to help promote it if the product was suitable.

He slowly raised his wrinkled and calloused hands, groped for the collar and cuffs, and looked at the suit curiously. It seemed to be similar to what he was wearing.

Wu Zhou smiled and acted like a junior.

"Put it on and try it on."

About five minutes later, with Wu Zhou's help, Mr. Yuan successfully dressed.

A few students and their wives were just doing it. Although this looks like clothes, after all, Wu Zhou said that this thing is a high-tech thing like an 'exoskeleton'. However, looking at the whole process of Wu Zhou dressing Mr. Yuan, it seems that it is not much different from ordinary clothes. At most, there is a plug between the top and pants that needs to be connected.

"That's enough." Mr. Yuan asked subconsciously and curiously. When wearing it on him, he could feel that it was heavier than normal clothes, and it didn't have the boosting feeling that Wu Zhou had told him before.

"Not yet, you have to wear this." Wu Zhou took out a box. Inside the box was a black watch with a dim screen. After Wu Zhou put it on Mr. Yuan, he pressed the slightly upper right corner of the watch. Behind a small button that sticks out.

In about ten seconds, Mr. Yuan's students saw that Mr. Yuan's clothes were slightly deformed.

And this time...

"Eh?" Mr. Yuan suddenly felt suspicious and shocked.

Because in just a moment, he suddenly felt that his body was much lighter.

Then I started walking subconsciously, but because my weight suddenly became lighter, I felt a little uncomfortable walking.

Fortunately, Wu Zhou was always by his side, giving him a little support.

"I do feel that my body has become lighter, as if I have become much younger all of a sudden, haha." Mr. Yuan smiled happily, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.

"Just feel free to use it. In addition, you have just started using it. This set of flexible exoskeleton equipment has an AI control chip. It will continuously record your walking habits and adapt to it. In theory, what you use The longer it takes, the more familiar it will be with you, and the easier it will be for you to use it in the future, and you may even be able to completely ignore it," Wu Zhou explained with a smile.

Then he turned around and looked at the people around Mr. Yuan, and gave some more instructions. "Theoretically, if you walk for more than ten minutes, you can achieve a fitness level of about 80%, and the problem will not be too big. However, it is recommended that 7 days be the best, so that it can reach more than 98%. So during this period, I have to trouble you all, please pay attention at all times.”

When several people heard this, they looked a little nervous and nodded quickly. After all, Mr. Yuan was already 91 years old and his legs and feet were not very good. If he accidentally fell because of this set, there would be a risk.

At this moment, they even had the idea of ​​telling Mr. Yuan not to try it yet, but this idea was quickly abandoned because with this set of equipment, Mr. Yuan was actually safer.

No matter how careful they are, they cannot pay attention 24 hours a day.

Wu Zhou could also see the worry in their micro-expressions.

But Mr. Yuan, who had been adapting to this flexible exoskeleton suit with Wu Zhou's support, waved his hand at this moment.

"I feel that my hands are much more relaxed. This hand can also help." Mr. Yuan moved his hands, which were more than twice as flexible as the 'slow' movement just now.

Everyone watching this scene also looked at Wu Zhou in surprise.

And Wu Zhou also nodded. "This is a full-body exoskeleton. Of course, the arms are also assisted."

"Xiao Wu, let me go first. I'll give it a try. I feel a lot more familiar with it." Although Wu Zhou just said that it would take more than ten minutes to get used to it before he could reach 80% adaption, it only took about 5 minutes. He already felt that the clothes fit him better and better, and the feeling of alienation was much smaller.

So he wanted to try it himself. Before anyone else could react, Wu Zhou just shook his head. "We still have to follow the plan, and we can't undermine the situation."

Seeing that Wu Zhou had no intention of letting go, Mr. Yuan could only nod helplessly, but his body had actually broken away from Wu Zhou's support little by little, and he was walking more and more smoothly and 'faster'.

A few minutes ago, Mr. Yuan was still stumbling when he walked, but now he is walking a bit like a normal person, and his steps are also lifted.

It took another 5 minutes, and when it reached the 80% fitness level that Wu Zhou said before, Wu Zhou finally let go completely, but when he was one meter away from Yuan Lao's head, he could respond at any time.

Several other students followed nervously behind and around him.

In this way, the old man was like a child, with a smile on his face and a feeling of lightness in his body. It was so beautiful.

At this time, Mr. Yuan was already walking like a "flying horse". It was not a big problem to say that he was "walking like flying". It was a huge difference from what he had done before.

But just as the nervous expressions on everyone's faces gradually dissipated, Mr. Yuan's face showed some embarrassment.

Wu Zhou had been observing Mr. Yuan, and immediately asked, "Is there any problem?" Wu Zhou was the one who was not satisfied with this set of equipment. Although the final product, Wu Zhou had a system to do it. 'Judgment', but there are always surprises.

When Mr. Yuan heard what Wu Zhou said, he was a little embarrassed at first, but then he looked at his wife, and after a while of silence, he spoke. "Here, I want to order a set for my wife, is that okay? Of course I can pay. Oh, it seems you are not short of money either." Mr. Yuan said, feeling a little embarrassed at the end.

Only after you experience it yourself can you know how good a product is.

I really know how good the product is, so I thought how nice it would be if my spouse could also have a set of this equipment.

"See what you said, it must be arranged." Wu Zhou agreed with a smile.
