Electrical Prostheses (Richard Caisaguano and Esteban Insuasti)

2024-06-06 21:05:55 UTC

1) Robotic prostheses, which are advanced artificial limbs, have significantly improved the quality of life for amputees.

2) The bionic hand, which is a type of robotic prosthesis, can be controlled by the user's muscle signals.

3) Researchers have developed robotic legs, which can mimic the natural walking patterns of humans.

4)The prosthetic devices, which are equipped with sensors, provide real-time feedback to the user.

5) Patients, who have lost their limbs, can benefit greatly from robotic prostheses.

6) The advanced prosthetic arm, which can be operated via neural interfaces, allows for more precise movements.

7) Robotic prostheses, which incorporate AI technology, are becoming more adaptive and intuitive.

8) Surgeons, who specialize in limb replacement, often recommend robotic prostheses for their enhanced functionality.

9) The exoskeleton suits, which are another form of robotic prosthesis, help individuals with spinal injuries to walk again.

10) The robotic knee joint, which is designed to reduce wear and tear, offers a longer-lasting solution for patients.

Robotic prostheses, which are devices designed to replace or improve the function of a missing or damaged body part, use robotic technology to replicate some or all of the functions of the lost or affected limb. These prostheses, which can be controlled by the user through muscular, nervous or even mental signals, depending on the level of sophistication, are used to replace lost limbs, such as arms or legs, or damaged body parts, such as hands or feet.

This is a surgical robot, wich can do some types of surgeries like general surgery, cardiology, gynecology, urology and neurosurgery. This robot would be like an assistance to the surgeon, this robot will create de distance that the surgeon will cut depend the type of the surgery, also this robot help to the surgeon in how him have to do the surgery. this robot is controlled by a medic that know about the process, but in much cases this robot is only used to cancer's surgery

Intelligent wheelchairs (Juan Laica, Carlos Vilema)

Advantages

Obstacle and walker detection

Fall notification

Automatic lighting

Stair climbing wheels

Autonomous driving.

The idea is to simulate the sensation of getting up and sitting down without the person leaving the seat, using body sensors and the person's posture to activate mobility.

The system uses posture sensors to detect the user's natural postural movements in the same way as when a person walks.

Thanks to this technology and these calculations, this device has the capacity to reach a wide range of people, as both children and elderly people can operate this wheelchair and have free use of their hands, whether for leisure, work or even sports activities.

Robotic Wheelchair (Carlos Vilema and Juan Laica)

Robotic Wheelchair represent a significant advancement in mobility technology for individuals with disabilities.

Autonomous Navigation:

This wheelchairs are equipped with sensors (like aLIDAR, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors), and can detect and avoid obstacles in real-time, ensuring safe navigation.

User Interface and Control:

Many robotic wheelchairs can be controlled via voice commands, making them accessible to users with limited hand mobility.

Others have traditional control methods, such as touchscreens and joysticks, are also available, providing multiple options based on user preference and capability.

Benefits:

Brings independence to users as they need less assistance from other people

Thanks to its advanced sensors which help prevent accidents in real time, it gives the user more security

By offering multiple control options, robotic wheelchairs accommodate users with a wide range of disabilities, making them more inclusive.

Was there a real-life inspiration for Atlantis? By: Josué Proaño

2024-09-25 23:37:01 UTC

Writing in the fourth century B.C., the Greek philosopher Plato told a story of a land named Atlantis that existed in the Atlantic Ocean and supposedly conquered much of Europe and Africa in prehistoric times. In the story, the prehistoric Athenians strike back against Atlantis in a conflict that ends with Atlantis vanishing beneath the waves.

While no serious scholar believes that this story is literally true, some have speculated that the legend could have been inspired, in part, by real events that happened in Greek history. One possibility is that the Minoan civilization (as it's now called), which flourished on the island of Crete until about 1400 B.C., could have inspired the story of Atlantis. Although Crete is in the Mediterranean, and not the Atlantic, Minoan settlements suffered considerable damage during the eruption of Thera, a volcano in Greece.

The .... Statues ¿Who built them? - Gabi

They must have taken years to carve and transport.
They might have been built to honor ancestral leaders.
Some researchers believe the statues could have served a spiritual purpose.
The statues may have originally been positioned to face inland to watch over the villages.
The islanders must have used innovative techniques to move these massive structures.
They may have been a symbol of power and protection for the Rapa Nui people.

I think that a one of the historical mysteries can be the history of the goddness Hestia, which must be the most friendly of his brothers, Hestia intervened with King Amulius so that he would not kill her niece who was already pregnant with the twins, if she had not intervened, they can´t founding roma.
