ICRA is known as the "IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation" and is one of the most influential international academic conferences in the field of robotics. ICRA 2017 was held from May 29th to June 3rd, and AI Technology Review brought a frontline report from Singapore.
Ayanna Howard is a professor of robotics at the School of Electrical and Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Professor Ayanna Howard's main research direction is to integrate humanized intelligence, human cognitive processes and capabilities into automated robot systems. In 2003, she was elected to MIT's “Top 100 Innovator under the age of 35†and in 2004, Time magazine published a special interview entitled “The Rise of Machinesâ€. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, she won the NASA Robotic Safety Navigation Mission Honor Award, the Path Planning Graphical User Interface Space Achievement Award, the Space Application Fuzzy Logic Engine Space Achievement Award, and also received the IEEE-issued robot and automation youth in 2005. Achievement Award.
In this speech, Professor Ayanna Howard introduced her research findings on intelligent rehabilitation robots. AI comments original translation.
Professor Ayanna Howard:
Let me introduce you to my research. Disability is a misfortune for women. So when we hear something like disability, we traditionally think it is hurt, brain numbness, car accident, or stroke.
But in fact, disability originally meant that the normal function has changed, and the keyword is "normal." If you are now 30 years old, professional users, but after a while, your body has problems, elbows, knees, ankles need artificial bones to repair, then you are disabled.
The disability rehabilitation market is large and can help you
So if you talk about disability, if you live to a very high age, you will also have a disability. In fact, there are statistics. For a country with a life expectancy of 70 years or older, each person has an average of 8 years of disability in his lifetime. So when you think about technologies and robots that serve people with disabilities, these technologies are actually developed for you. From this perspective, we need to be selfish, because our future is like this.
Let's take a look at the statistics of children with autism. I am studying this aspect. Now there are more than 150 million children in the world who have this kind of disability, and we feel that this data has not reflected all the conditions, because some The country did not give their data. According to my data here, the value of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation industry in the United States is calculated to be $1.6 billion, which does not include medical and health care, not all of the data. Then robots have the potential to make an impact in this.
Laser Distance Meter module is mainly designed for laser distance measurer. As the soul part of a laser rangefinder, our module can assure quick respond, high accuracy and long range measuring.
With different range measuring program, our modules can satisfy customers` different requirements, 40m, 60m, 80m, 100m, 120m, 150m, every distance can do multiple functions, like: Height/Distance/Area/Volume/Pythagorean Measurement. Voice, Bluetooth, angle measuring, beep, and any other functions can be customized.
We have been in this line for 10 years, with a strong R&D ability and hard working, we are now a leading supplier of laser distance meter modules in China.
