Monster Factory

Her name is Kang Shuya and she works at Pengcheng Mid Surgical Hospital.

She invited Ye Qing to take her biomimetic hand to the hospital where she works because there is a professional prosthetic installation center.

That's a good idea.

But!

Ye Qing thought about it before.

Ye Qing is also a half factory family. Earlier, when work safety regulations had not yet been implemented, such things as industrial injuries were common in the park.

Break a finger, that's lucky.

Like a female worker with her hair strangled by a machine, the whole person is caught in the machine and belongs to the old Yellow Calendar.

Some people were strangled into the machine with gloves on their hands because they were wearing labour gloves. Someone was operating a blade cutting machine, and a worker walked by, and the cutting blade collapsed, putting on a pair of legs passing by.

These are basic and can be avoided by a careful reading of the safety manual.

There's something you can't guard against, novices can't even imagine.

Ye Qing, for example, has heard of a factory, there are workers operating large punches, and workers inadvertently put their hands on steel plates to be pressed.

A large sheet of steel may only need to be stamped in a large basin, far from the hand of the worker. Normal people are not too vigilant in this thinking, and they don't feel uncomfortable inadvertently placing their hands on steel plates.

As a result, the hammer fell and the worker's four fingers were flushed out.

Very confusing?

But flesh and blood, in the face of the instantaneous vibration caused by the impact of the hammer on the steel plate, is not much tougher than tofu.

The vast majority of work-related injuries occur in factories, while hand-disablement is the most common type. So Ye Qing had long thought about the application of industrial technology in prosthetics.

Ye Qing has not put it into practice, because even if the biomimetic joint is perfected, a problem cannot be avoided.

“The brilliance of Biotobok is not brilliant, let alone I have a problem here. ”

“How do patients operate biomimetic joints? ”

“For example, I'm typing to you now, and it's my brain that stimulates the nerves, the nerves that release bioelectric signals, and controls the muscles in my hands to do the right thing. ”

“Here at the biomimetic joint, nerves and machines produce faults. No matter how the brain stimulates the nerves, biomimicry joints do not respond. ”

“Then the question arises, even if you do the biomimetic joint better, it can't move, what's the use? ”

“You can't give the user a remote control, let him remotely control the bionic hand. There is also no remote control that can compile actions that users want. ”

Ye Qing told Jiang Shuya about the problem, but according to the theory, Jiang Shuya would not know about it.

“Your problem is blood.” Jiang Shuya returned to Ye Qing after more than ten seconds.

“I can tell you Otto Bock's solution. ”

“They apply two electrode sensors to the residual end of the user's arm, and electrode iron pieces can sense the biocurrent generated when the flexor and extensor muscles are tightened. With this bioelectric current, their robots can help users do the grabbing. ”

Ye Qing nodded in favour and replied, "I understand. ”

“But if I'm right, they can only do simple grabbing. ”

“You mentioned earlier that they have three-dimensional force sensors installed in their products. In other words, their products can simply determine the weight of the grasping object and then control the strength of the output of the micromotor. ”

“Following this line of thought, it can complete a simple grab. Nor will there be a dilemma to grab a glass and crush it. ”

“But what if the user wants to write with it, tap on the keyboard, smoke, or finish the button, zipper action? ”

“It can't be done right. ”

“This type of electromyoclonus must be a connecting rod structure, and it will have obvious mechanical frustration and mechanical noise in use. This also means that energy consumption is high and regular oil maintenance is required. ”

“Our products, although they can solve mechanical defects. Software, however, will only lag behind Biotobok. ”

“What Ottobok products can't do, we can't do. ”

“You can work together!” Jiang Shuya spoke excitedly.

“Ottobok has years of experience in software and has been working to improve the recognition of electrode sensors if you two work together...”

“Business is not as simple as you think.” Ye Qing did not say very bluntly that Otobok would not have inspired an effective programme even if promoted for another decade.

“In addition, Ottobok's software controls are far from what is desirable. ”

“Using their technology to use our products on prosthetic limbs is a pain for patients, and for us as well. ”

Jiang Shuya asked carefully, "What is the destination for you to develop this biomimetic hand? ”

“A derivative of a VR.” Ye Qing replied.

“Ah, you have such advanced technology, but you use it as a game product.” Jiang Shuya is very difficult to understand this idea, "don't you think it's better to use it for the benefit of those with physical defects than the game? ”

“ …… ”

Ye Qing said nothing right.

“Even if you have difficulty controlling software, you can attack it slowly, right?” Jiang Shuya teaches, “even if you don't cooperate with Otobok, you can cooperate with our hospital. We have specialist prosthetic fitting centers here, as well as a lot of accumulated neurological and bio-electric data. ”

“Some patients with neurological injuries use bioelectric stimulus regimens when we train them for rehabilitation. ”

“All data is available free of charge. ”

“ …… ”

Ye Qing was even more right.

Jiang Shuya is an example of an angel in white.

However, Jiang Shuya knew only one of them.

Even Ye Qing, based on the black technology of the monster factory, could not think of a solution to the matching of biomimetic hands with nerves. Even if you push the product to users with physical disabilities, what else can you do besides make them waste their money and rejoice?

“Well, I'm going to propose this to the company. ”

“But I can't guarantee success. ”

“Then please.” Jiang Shu is full of hope.

End of call, it's 12: 00 in the morning.

Ye Qing knows that doctors are busy, especially surgeons like Jiang Shuya.

Ye Qing put his phone aside and meditated quietly. He was thinking of a solution.

Then open your eyes again, it's dawn.

With brainstorming thoughts, Ye Qing called the crystal to the office and asked if it had a solution.

“Boss, asking me about this doesn't mean asking the deaf.” The crystals are bare-handed, “you have to have a solution, and I'm in charge of the software compilation. But you ask me about human nerves. You look at me like you know this. ”

Ye Qing looked at the crystal.

Ye Qing's field of view emerged as a creature with long ears and translucent body, with flashing lights from time to time.

That's really the wrong person to ask...
