It’s amazing how much technology has advanced! The Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan has developed special robotic legs. These legs can walk up to 15 miles by themselves! All you need to do is know how to get them started. First you just need move into a downward slope and then just give yourself a little push and there they go. They walk for you. These pairs of legs are made to be almost identical to human legs. There structure is tremendously precise, all their parts are proportional. The thighs, calves and feet are proportional in weight and length. These legs walked 100,000 unassisted steps (15km). Even though they took 13 hours to do that this is still pretty amazing. The scientists are hoping that they could apply these legs to sports and other things.
I think that this is incredibly amazing. I feel really happy that there is major hope for people with disabilities, people that were born without legs, and people who lost their legs somehow. Now, they can live normal lives and can walk and run. Technological advances like these are what we need more of. We need technology that can actually HELP people. Overall I think this is one of the best advances yet, now people don’t have to use wheelchairs anymore.
Jocelyn, this was very interesting. i enjoyed knowing this. this wasent a random post. this is something that alot of people benefit from. great job by the way
ReplyDeleteWoah Jocelyn, this is an amazing post!!! I am astonished by this marvelous discovery/invention. This will definitely aid the disabled.
ReplyDeleteThis is something new and amazing that they had made. I bet the people that are disable are able to run or even walk again.
ReplyDeleteJOcelyn, I think this is pretty amazing. This is a pretty huge step in robotics and science, but I feel if we, as humans, keep this up robots will soon rule the whole word. So I say, lets keep the advancement of technology a little slower, let us enjoy the gift of nature and not robots.
ReplyDeleteJocelyn, this is a great invention that the Nagoya Institute developed. As you stated, robotic legs will allow disabled people to be able to walk and run again which is a wonderful thing. Please remember to post the link of your article on your blog.
