South Korean researchers have developed a drone designed to stay level when transporting goods over many kinds of surfaces. 韩国研究人员开发了一种无人机，旨在在多种表面上运输货物时保持水平。 A team at Seoul National University of Science and Technology built a prototype, or test model of the drone. The team recently demonstrated the aircraft for reporters from Reuters. 首尔国立科技大学的一个团队构建了无人机的原型或测试模型。该团队最近向路透社记者展示了这架飞机。 The prototype has a transport carrier attached to a drone structure. It is supported by several propellers and rotors that control its height, speed and direction in the air. The aircraft has a handle workers can push to guide it where it needs to go. 该原型机有一个连接到无人机结构的运输载体。它由多个螺旋桨和旋翼支撑，控制其在空中的高度、速度和方向。飞机有一个手柄，工作人员可以推动以引导飞机前往需要的地方。 Members of the development team showed how the drone can keep itself level while floating, even when transporting goods up or down stairs. Leaders of the research say the drone is programmed to predict human actions for effective interactions. 开发团队成员展示了无人机如何在漂浮时保持水平，甚至在上下楼梯运输货物时也是如此。该研究的领导者表示，无人机经过编程可以预测人类的行为，以实现有效的互动。Lee Seung-jae is a professor of mechanical system design engineering at Seoul National University of Science and Technology. He was a leader of the project. The research results appeared in a study in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. The publication is part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, based in New York. Lee Seung-jae 是首尔国立科技大学机械系统设计工程教授。他是该项目的领导者。研究结果发表在《IEEE 机器人与自动化快报》的一项研究中。该出版物是纽约电气和电子工程师协会的一部分。 Lee told Reuters tests of the drone showed it could transport objects up to 3 kilograms. He admitted this weight restriction likely limits the drone's use cases for many businesses. But he noted that the transporter's design and operating equipment could be used to create a series of other kinds of drone vehicles. Lee 告诉路透社，无人机的测试表明它可以运输重达 3 公斤的物体。他承认这种重量限制可能会限制无人机在许多企业中的使用案例。但他指出，运输机的设计和操作设备可用于制造一系列其他类型的无人机。 Lee said one example would be to use the transporter to carry sensitive or breakable materials. The technology could also be used to develop “flying taxis” to transport humans, he added. 李说，一个例子是使用运输车运输敏感或易碎材料。他补充说，该技术还可用于开发“飞行出租车”来运送人类。When used in a flying taxi, Lee said the drones could be used to change batteries while still flying in the air, instead of having to return to a ground station for recharging. 李说，当用于飞行出租车时，无人机可以在空中飞行时更换电池，而不必返回地面站充电。 In general, experts say drones with multiple propellers are easier to control and move in many different settings. But they are also slower and cannot travel as far on a battery charge. 一般来说，专家表示，具有多个螺旋桨的无人机在许多不同的环境中更容易控制和移动。但它们的速度也较慢，并且无法通过电池充电行驶那么远的距离。 Drones with multiple rotors have already been used to transport small amounts of goods, food and medical supplies. But experts say it is difficult to widely expand use of such drones for commercial purposes. This is because such activities would require larger batteries a smaller aircraft could not support. 具有多个旋翼的无人机已被用于运输少量货物、食品和医疗用品。但专家表示，很难广泛扩大此类无人机的商业用途。这是因为此类活动需要更大的电池，而较小的飞机无法支持。

Dr. Allison Okamura is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. She also holds a courtesy appointment in Computer science there. Research in Allison's lab examines three different areas of robotics. The first is haptics, which involves human machine interactions through the sense of touch. The second is designing medical robots that can, for example, be used to help people recover from stroke or perform surgery. A final area that Allison studies is creating soft robots that can conform to their environments. Much of Allison's free time is spent with her husband, daughter, and son. When she's not at work, Allison also enjoys relaxing, running, and playing ice hockey. Allison received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and she was awarded her M.S. and Ph.D. both in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. Before joining the faculty at Stanford University, Allison was Professor and Vice Chair of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Allison is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including being elected as a fellow for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). She has also been awarded the IEEE Technical Committee on Haptics Early Career Award, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Early Academic Career Award, and an NSF CAREER Award. In addition, Allison was honored as a Duca Family University Fellow in Undergraduate Education, a Robert Bosch Faculty Scholar, a Gabilan Fellow, and an Alumni Distinguished Scholar by Stanford University, as well as a Decker Faculty Scholar by Johns Hopkins University. In our interview, Allison speaks more about her experiences in life and science.

En este episodio, damos comienzo a uno de los proyectos más importantes y ambiciosos de Hemispherics. Nada menos que exponer lo fundamental de la neurofisiología aplicada a la rehabilitación del miembro superior tras una lesión neurológica. Para este episodio, trataré de resumir el conocimiento respecto a la vía reticuloespinal y su relación con la corticoespinal y la recuperación motora y lo hilaré con el conocimiento de la sinergia flexora, los estudios con sistemas de soporte de peso y robóticos para el miembro superior. El objetivo es entender el por qué, el fundamento de los sistemas de soporte de peso y robóticos y qué puede estar ocurriendo en el cerebro para que se produzcan esos fenotipos de miembro superior.

L'intervista è in Contemporaneamente di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà. Con Cristian Secchi e Sara Farnetti parliamo di cibo e motori, robot e logica ormonale, meccanizzazione industriale e programmazione di organi per proteggere la giovinezza cellulare. È un incontro illuminante, denso di scelte e prospettive, un po' avvincenti un po' inquietanti. Da un lato lo scienziato racconta di possibilità straordinarie per le città e le società del futuro, purché l'umano resti al centro di ogni evoluzione. Dall'altro la nutrizionista parla del corpo come sistema complesso che risponde a tante dinamiche, dove gusti, aromi e sapori, attivano circonvoluzioni cerebrali, stimolando apprendimento. Conoscenza, multidisciplinarità e ricerca delle cause, sono necessità fondamentali per un futuro migliore, e molto altro.ASCOLTA L'INTERVISTA!!

How do we use technology to improve quality of life? What is the role of robots to improve human health and quality of life now and in the future? With robotics and AI, there is technology for helping people know themselves and help themselves. Things like mindfulness, cognitive behavior therapy, known interventions that are hard for people to do on their own can be done with a robot. Until everyone can have someone to help them, socially-assistive robots can fill a big void. Dr. Maja Matarić is a Chan Soon-Shiong distinguished professor of Computer Science, Neuroscience, and Pediatrics and the founder and director of the Interaction Lab at the University of Southern California where her research is aimed at developing technologies (particularly in robotics) that help improve human health and quality of life.

En el episodio de hoy, hablo de la lesión medular y el entrenamiento con sistemas de soporte de peso corporal, una modalidad de tratamiento que cada vez está más en boga y que parece realmente que tiene su lugar asentado dentro de la rehabilitación de la lesión medular. Normalmente colocamos un arnés al paciente, que se une a una máquina que descarga el peso en un cierto porcentaje. Esa idea se cumple a la perfección en el caso de las grúas pero si pensamos en un paciente que quiere caminar, parece que quitarle peso, no es suficiente. ¿Hay algo más en estos sistemas de soporte de peso? ¿Qué hay de interacción humano-máquina? En este episodio, vemos estudios en sujetos sanos y en lesionados medulares, describimos sistemas de soporte de peso y aportamos ideas prácticas para terapia.

Dr. Allison Okamura is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. She also holds a courtesy appointment in Computer science there. Research in Allison’s lab examines three different areas of robotics. The first is haptics, which involves human machine interactions through the sense of touch. The second is designing medical robots that can, for example be used to help people recover from stroke or perform surgery. A final area that Allison studies is creating soft robots that can conform to their environments. Much of Allison’s free time is spent with her husband, daughter, and son. When she’s not at work, Allison also enjoys relaxing, running, and playing ice hockey. Allison received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and she was awarded her M.S. and Ph.D. both in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University.
