Using technology to support 'poetry and distant places'

2025-02-07   

This Spring Festival, together with the huge crowds of tourists from all major scenic spots, is the first time that Mount Taishan Scenic Spot has launched power assisted robot equipment for tourists. This futuristic sci-fi style "exoskeleton robot" comes from Guangdong and weighs only 1.8kg, making it easy and convenient to equip on the waist, abdomen, and legs. By utilizing advanced ergonomic design and core technologies such as power, electronics, and AI algorithms, it can perceive every movement trend of the lower limbs and provide timely and appropriate assistance. It is widely used in daily life and work fields such as mountaineering, fitness, running, and climbing stairs. The exhausted tourists who used to climb Mount Taishan Mountain were equipped with this exoskeleton robot, and immediately felt a sense of future technology. Users frequently praise it: 'When climbing mountains, it automatically lifts your legs, feeling very light and agile!' In fact, for many science fiction fans, exoskeleton robots are not unfamiliar and often appear in many mecha themed science fiction movies. The development of exoskeleton robots in reality began in the 1960s and was initially applied in the field of medical rehabilitation, helping paralyzed patients regain mobility and effectively improving the quality of life for some disabled groups. Nowadays, exoskeleton technology has increasingly broad application prospects in industrial production, emergency disaster relief, fire rescue and other scenarios, demonstrating strong technological advantages in enhancing user strength and reducing injury risks. The transformation from industrialization and medical treatment to the popularization and application of daily life, such as climbing Mount Taishan Mountain, is another leap in the development of such technologies. More and more technological achievements, including artificial intelligence, have unconsciously integrated into our real life, reflecting the intelligent life landscape that humanity may face. The "force compensation" function provided by exoskeleton robots, applied in the field of elderly care, can greatly improve the mobility difficulties caused by the decline of the elderly's body. In related reports, an exoskeleton robot that acts on the hands can even train users to enhance their playing ability. After removing the device, these users can still rely on the inertia training obtained from their hands to improve their playing skills - you see! The enormous role of technology will redefine "aging" and "talent", and we are now likely to be at the beginning of this new intelligent process. With the deep integration of technology and life, this intelligent living landscape will continue to show an accelerating trend of iteration. The current trendy lifestyle may soon become commonplace, and the future "pastoral" may become a "synthesized melody" full of technological civilization. The "slow life" you perceive may be "poetry and distant places" lifted up by many technological forces. Although technology was born in the hands of humans, it also contains a powerful force that may cause disasters. It is necessary to set up a "safety gate" in a timely manner in order to make the power trickle down for human use. The data privacy crisis driven by excessive commercialization, as well as the ethical challenges that come with it, require a dual regulation of industry development and social responsibility, with a dual approach of standard setting and regulatory implementation. To let the light of technology shine into the future, we must also firmly grasp the reins of rationality in the hands of humanity itself. (New Society)
