I Can View Character Attributes Chapter 385: Passive Exoskeleton
Latest URL: "Okay, the cobweb weavers have come to an end for the time being, and they will be responsible for writing web weaving modules and program optimization in the follow-up."
As the intermediary, Xia Xu made a sound to attract everyone's attention and said, "Next, I will announce our future research and development plans. Of course, those with different ideas and opinions can also put forward them."
Naturally, neither Zhou Ji nor Walker would have any opinion on this. After all, they were organized because of Xia Xu, and the entire research team was funded by Xia Xu.
"All of you here are top talents in mechanical engineering and electronic information, so let's forget about small projects. If we want to develop them, we will develop some challenging ones."
Xia Xu smiled slightly and said after a moment of brewing: "So, our main goal is - exoskeleton armor!"
"Wow! This is good, this is interesting."
"Haha, it's Brother Xu who has an appetite for me."
"Hey, I know Brother Xu, you won't let us down."
Hearing Xia Xu's announcement, Zhou Jiwoke, Zhang Meng, Lu Dong and the others cheered excitedly.
Obviously, they were very pleased with the result.
Weapons and vehicles, this is a man's romance, and the sci-fi concept of exoskeleton armor is a collection of the two. No teenager can resist its charm, and men are teenagers until they die.
When Xia Xu just said that he was going to announce his future R&D plans, they actually had a little bit of doubt and apprehension.
After such a long time, they are no longer ignorant of Xia Xu's identity. Naturally, they know that he is the boss of Xinghai Group, and they know that he has also invested a lot of research and development outside the Xinghai research group.
He is a successful genius businessman and a group boss.
From such a businessman's point of view, what is the most appropriate for them to study?
Whatever the answer is, it's definitely not something like exoskeleton armor or high-end robots.
Why are things like exoskeleton armor still a sci-fi concept?
It's not that it can't be done at all, but it's not practical, the price-performance ratio is too low, and there are too many defects.
In fact, if the requirements are not too high, it is very simple for current technology to only implement basic concepts such as armor protection and strength enhancement.
There are all kinds of ready-made electric motors and hydraulic components to improve body strength. In terms of energy, batteries and fuel are fully sufficient for short-term support, and there are electromyographic sensors and torque sensors for control, which are more than enough to achieve somatosensory interaction.
If you want to make a simple exoskeleton armor, you don't need any experts, a small company composed of a few high-level students, or even just a technical nerd can do it in private.
For example, there are several small companies in China that are developing this, and the finished product has been featured on TV shows, and there have also been reports from the island country that the tech house made the mecha by themselves.
Milijian and other western countries also have a lot of free local tyrants, tech nerds, and extreme enthusiasts specializing in this, and some people have created exoskeleton-like jet wingsuits to fly over Tianmen Mountain.
Unfortunately, this so-called exoskeleton armor is not only used for combat, but it is not bad if it does not affect the action.
Increasing strength can improve strength, but it can only achieve simple lifting and lifting. The movement is slow, and it is impossible to run.
And due to the fact that many components cannot be miniaturized, no matter how they are designed, they are either bulky or rigid in structure, which in turn affects physical activity.
As for the flight ability, to put it bluntly, it is no problem to spend money to install a few micro jet engines and fly around for a while, or simply fly with reference aircraft and wing suits.
But if you really want to be like the exoskeleton armor in sci-fi movies, let alone the hardware can't be miniaturized to that level, it's just an energy battery life problem.
In short, exoskeleton armor can be made now, but it is not up to the standard on an industrial basis, and all that are made can only be used as toys or civilian auxiliary equipment.
Civil equipment is only theoretical. If you really want to carry heavy objects, there are already a series of ready-made tools such as forklifts and cranes. There is no need for an exoskeleton that is expensive and not practical. The robotic arm is real.
So, from the perspective of business investment, research on this thing is likely to be worthless, and private research and development of this thing is either a hobby or an investment in dreams and the future.
Instead of asking them to study these, it is obviously more promising to study some existing, less advanced commercial products, such as vehicle-related technologies, and industrial production-related technologies.
It is also because of this that Zhang Meng and Zhou Ji were actually a little worried at that moment. They were worried that they would undertake those boring and uninteresting projects. At that time, refusing is neither an agreement nor an agreement.
"Okay, don't get too excited, powered exoskeletons are only a long-term goal, our short-term goal is an unpowered exoskeleton."
Xia Xu interrupted the cheering male team members and poured a little cold water.
Exoskeleton armor in a conventional sense should refer to powered exoskeleton armor, which increases human mobility through energy and power.
But now the industrial base of Seablue Star is here, although there should be a lot of black technology hidden, but there is no way to know and obtain it before it is exposed.
With Zhou Ji, Zhang Meng and others, plus Walker, the protagonist of "The Mechanic", it is still possible to study a power exoskeleton that can be used in actual combat, but it is destined to be a long-term process.
So his short-term goal is an unpowered exoskeleton, or a set of protective gear that can be worn at any time.
Unpowered exoskeleton, as you can tell from the name, this is a concept corresponding to a powered exoskeleton.
In fact, many countries are now researching exoskeleton armor, and there are corresponding results.
But for the reasons mentioned above, the final research and development direction of these exoskeleton armors has basically turned to unpowered exoskeletons, also known as passive exoskeletons, each of which has mature results.
As the name implies, it is an exoskeleton that has no energy and power and only relies on structure, material, and mechanics to achieve its effect.
The most essential meaning of the word exoskeleton is derived from the carapace of crustaceans. Human bones are called endoskeletons in the body, and the bones of animals such as crabs and beetles are outside the body, so they are called exoskeletons.
The effect of the two is similar. The most basic one is to support the body, guide and disperse the gravity and impact force, and the exoskeleton can also have an additional protective purpose.
Passive exoskeletons do not rely on energy and power devices, but rely on materials and structures to disperse the force of the body, so as to improve load-bearing capacity, reduce physical exertion, assist in exertion, and reduce muscle and bone strain.
Of course, the full-coverage design can also enhance the body's defense capabilities. Relying on the mechanical structure to store energy can also enhance the strength of the limbs. The specifics depend on the design.
This passive exoskeleton does not require energy and power structure, which eliminates the most bloated part of the exoskeleton armor, and can be extremely lightweight.
And because the whole is not complicated, the passive exoskeleton will basically not affect the action, and only have pure positive gains. The cost is because there are not many high-tech electronic components that can be compressed to a very low level.
It can be said that passive exoskeletons are the most practical form of exoskeleton armor under the current technology foundation.
And this is exactly what Xia Xu needs~IndoMTL.com~ The last time Gardner's mental hospital was destroyed, Gardner's people have been offended to death, and their identities have also been revealed. There will be retaliation.
If nothing else, a group of gunmen from the Special Defense Forces poses a mortal threat to him.
So now he needs a set of protective equipment, and it is protective equipment that can be worn at any time, at least with him.
No matter how powerful the powered exoskeleton is, it is difficult to carry it with you, and it is even more impossible to wear it out all day long like a neurotic. Development is a long process.
In this way, a simple and practical passive exoskeleton is his best choice.
It's not bad to get a relatively light protective suit. As long as it can be worn close to the body and is bulletproof, with the early warning of the Bai Ze system, at least a small-scale firepower conflict is unlikely to cause a fatal threat to him.
