Realistic version of hungry “Death Stranded”, mechanical exoskeleton “Mecha Knight” released-AI

I suspect that Hideo Kojima is a prophet. On November 8, 2019, Sony Interactive Entertainment released a
Productions) action game “Death Stranding” (Death Stranding): in the destroyed world, nature is ghostly everywhere
BT (Beached Things), humans can only lock themselves in the city, and only the delivery boy from the courier company Sam can communicate with everyone.

During the new crown epidemic, everyone was isolated at home, and communication with the outside world could only be trusted by the messaging brother, such as the game scene, which is why their producer Hideo Kojima (こ じ ま ひ で お, Hideo Kojima) was called divine prophecy by netizens. Start

It is worth mentioning that this game incorporates many black technologies, one of which is the mechanical exoskeleton device used by Sam.

And recently, the game has become a reality again: the hungry little brother used a mechanical exoskeleton for delivery for the first time, becoming a true “Mecha Knight”.

Realistic version of

“Useless” black technology innovation attempts

The takeout sibling carried 3 bases near a one-man food box and was outfitted with a cool new mechanical exoskeleton, sparking heated discussion among netizens.

On the one hand, netizens praised this black technology for helping brother to carry, technology is the first productive force, which is also an inevitable trend of social development; On the other hand, there have also been some doubts on the Internet that some mechanical exoskeletons can be overused. .

In response, Hungry replied:

We have been doing what appears to be “useless”. The mechanical exoskeleton is the first innovative attempt in the takeaway industry, and it is also the future delivery method we are exploring, especially for the old elevatorless community, and the peak period cannot eliminate the little brother. the elevator to send it to the office building, battery-free food delivery and other logistics equipment test project scenes.

As for when this exoskeleton mecca will be promoted and used, the hungry side said that there is no exact timetable, but the next hungry will continue to develop innovative research and logistics model development. Since the cost of the mechanical exoskeleton is not low, it is still in the testing stage, although it will not be fully used at the moment, it will continue to be explored.

It is worth mentioning that Hideo Kojima’s latest “God’s Forecast” may not be a coincidence.

Prior to this, the hungry official had released many collaborations with Sony’s PlayStation game console series. At the start of the release of “Death Stranding” on November 12, 2019, the official even tweeted:

A masterpiece was recently released on PlayStation. The protagonist connected people “sending deliveries” and saved the world. In real life, we will also do our best to protect each of your takeaway dishes. Delivery on time, you and I are all heroes of this world.

Carrying 100 pounds is like carrying a notebook

In fact, the mechanical exoskeleton, also known as a motorized exoskeleton, is a portable machine device made up of a steel frame that can provide people with additional energy for limb movements.

The mechanical exoskeleton equipment my brother used this time is the HEMS-GS lower limb exoskeleton robot developed by Shanghai Aosha Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.

This set of mecha exoskeleton is reportedly aimed primarily at people of 170-180 cm height, normal size, weighing 16 kg, nominal load 50 kg, traveling speed of about 0.7 meters per second, and use the device in just about 5 minutes.

The device has a total of 12 degrees of freedom of movement to reflect flexibility, 4 of which are activated. Unlike traditional industrial robots, some of their “joints” need to cooperate with the flexible movement of the human body. Among them, the motion controller sends commands to the device, the battery provides power, the hip and knee joint drivetrain parts provide power to the thighs and knees, and the ankle parts are distributed with great number of mechanical sensors to form a network, which can detect and calculate human walking time. Intention of movement and posture, and then the motor will issue movement instructions accordingly, to achieve the correct power assist effect.

Therefore, when the extraction brother is working, the mechanical bones transfer the power to the ground. No matter how many objects the person carries, the person mainly supports the operating force, and the shoulder supports the force of 5-10 kg. Once the power is dispersed, the pull that carries heavy objects is small. Brother it’s not really strenuous, as officer Shaowei Weibo said, the ride-on rider carrying a 100-pound thing is like carrying a laptop and can walk easily.

The exoskeleton robot has landed several scenes

In terms of future application scenarios for the HEMS-GS lower exoskeleton robot, Aosha Intelligent CMO stated:

The HEMS-GS lower limb exoskeleton robot, as a military-civil integration project, will be deployed in the future military, fire, construction, civilian aid and other scenarios.

Furthermore, Zhang Hua also mentioned:

The HEMS-GS lower limb exoskeleton robot was developed by us in cooperation with the Naval Military Medical University (formerly the Second Military Medical University), and application scenarios also include military medical rescue and logistical health.

It is understood that Xu Shaohua, founder of Aosha Smart, was co-founder of Shanghai Jinghe Jichuang Robot Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Fourier Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. Aosha’s intelligent team has accumulated nearly ten years in the field of medical robots of the exoskeleton. In April 2018, Aosha Intelligent was established, committed to bringing exoskeleton robots from the medical to the industrial, and even eventually hoped to promote to a broader civilian market. On February 18, 2019, Aosha Smart announced the completion of angel round financing and received a multi-million yuan joint investment led by Mingshi Capital and invested by Everest Capital.

In fact, in the field of exoskeleton robots, industrial, logistics, construction, medical, military, and other industrial teams have had commercialization attempts, such as the Nebula L70 individual exoskeleton robot used in military reconnaissance and patrol in China. , and the American company Ekso Industrial exoskeleton robots launched by Bionics and suitX, industrial and medical exoskeleton robots launched by the Japanese company Cyberdyne.

However, Xu Zhenhua had previously stated:

The entire industrial exoskeleton robot is still in its early stages.

We look forward to further developments in the field of exoskeleton robots in the future.
