我國自主研發現實版"鋼鐵俠" 首款外骨骼機器人問世
The first robot exoskeleton in China, named AIDER, has been officially unveiled in Chengdu, Sichuan province, making China the fourth country in the world to develop the cutting-edge technology.
中國首個名爲AIDER的外骨骼機器人日前在四川省成都市正式亮相，這也使得我國成爲世界上第四個發展該前沿技術的國家。AIDER was developed by the Center of Robotics at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
AIDER是由中國電子科技大學機器人研究中心負責研發的。The technology took six years of hard work and technical innovation to master.
該技術的掌握經歷了六年的艱苦開發和技術創新。
According to Lin Xichuan, one of the developers, this wearable exoskeleton robot combines human intelligence with physical strength.
據開發者之一的林西川表示，這個可穿戴式的外骨骼機器人結合了人類智慧和身體力量。It is an important breakthrough for many people who require assistance with walking and rehabilitation.
這對很多需要幫助步行及康復的人來說是一個重要的突破。
Compared with traditional rehabilitation equipment, AIDER enables patients to walk relatively freely.
與傳統康復設備相比，AIDER可以使病人相對自由地行走。It also facilitates blood circulation to the legs and prevents muscle atrophy. It can even help patients recover their biological memories of walking.
此外，它也有利於腿部血液循環，防止肌肉萎縮。它甚至可以幫助患者恢復行走的生物記憶。Cheng Hong, executive director of the Center of Robotics, said that the robot exoskeleton can be used in military and sporting applications, as it can help users carry heavy objects.
機器人中心的執行主任程洪表示，外骨骼機器人能夠應用到軍事和體育中，因爲它可以幫助用戶拎重物。Using the robot exoskeleton, a single soldier can carry items as heavy as 90 kilograms.
使用外骨骼機器人，一個士兵可以隨身攜帶重達90公斤的物品。At present, AIDER has begun low-volume production. Preliminary clinical trials have been conducted on a group of physically disabled people.
目前，AIDER已經開始小批量生產，並且已經對一組殘疾人進行了初步臨牀試驗。
