Targeting medical robots into the future NIH grants funding for intelligent robot research

Robots have long been considered a symbol of high technology. This technology has also been widely used in various fields of industrial production. However, the potential of robots in the medical field is still far from being tapped.

In view of this, the National Center for Health (NIH) has also recently been “fashionable” to support the research of some intelligent robots in the field of health. According to the plan, in the next five years, NIH will allocate a total of 2.2 million US dollars to support the research of three intelligent robot projects.

These three projects include the Intelligent Robot Project developed by Xiangrong Shen, a professor at the University of Alabama, to help older people walk. This project is designed to help older people improve their mobility and enable some of them to escape the comfort of a wheelchair. In addition to improving the quality of life, this smart device can also fix heavy objects and help the elderly to improve their weight-bearing capacity; the Cang Ye University of Arkansas developed a wearable device that can help visually impaired patients grab objects. A device can also help these patients identify various obstacles in the activity and improve the safety of the patient's movement. The device is designed to incorporate computer imaging and natural feedback mechanisms. Finally, it was developed by MIT Cynthia Breazeal to help. Social intelligent robots for preschool children to learn.

Grace Peng, a NIH staff responsible for rehabilitation engineering, commented that many people have never linked NIH to robots, but the development of robots does have an important role in the health of healthcare. The three projects funded this time have their own unique innovations, whether it is to improve the health of the elderly or to stimulate the learning enthusiasm of minors will make a great contribution to the health industry.

However, NIH is only a national institution for robot research. The US Department of Agriculture, the Ministry of National Defense, and NASA have invested heavily in robot development in recent years. Perhaps the intelligent robots that often appear in science fiction will soon come to our lives.
