Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Prvy krok k rekonstrukcii ludskych motorickych funkcii by Daniela Simkova

Nebolo by skvele keby sme mali robotickeho priatela? Alebo si predstavte ake by bolo uzasne rekonstruovanie ludskych motorickych funkcii paralyzovanych pacientov. Toto je prave to, k comu smeruje vyskum v Japonsku. Japonski vedci pracuju na specialnom projekte ludskych robotov. Zaklad pre ludske roboty spociva v aktivnom vyuzivani mozgu. Vedci vezmu thieto signaly z mozgu opic, ktore su prevedene z U.S.A. Cez Internet. Vyskum v U.S.A. Je vedeny Miguelom Nicolelisom z Dukovej University v Severnej Karoline. Vyskumnici sa pokusali dosiahnut aby opice kracali po svojich nohach, co bolo uspesne. Zaznamenali ich mozgovu aktivitu pocas kracania po nohach a podla tychto informacii urcili dalsie pohyby. Taktiez zaznamenali uspech v kontrolovani ludskeho robota. Tento fakt znamena, ze doktori budu v buducnosti schopni obnovit motoricke funkcie ludskeho tela. Ludsky robot je skoro tak vysoky ako clovek. So svojimi 155 centimetrami a vahou 85 kilogramov moze vyzerat ako jeden z nas. Robot bol vyvinuty v Institute pre Roboty na Carnegie Mellon Univerzite panom Christopherom Atkensonom a JST a dosahuje okolo 51 percent volneho pohybu. Hlavnu cast, ktorou je hardware, bola vyvinuta v Salt Lake City, v spolocnisti pre roboty Sacrosom. Vedci sa teraz sustreduju na studie ako zlepsit roboticke pohyby tak, aby vyzerali realnejsie a zivotaschopnejsie.
