Biomechanical technology is expected to achieve human repair and improvement

At the "Design West" conference held recently, Hugh Herr, director of the Institute of Biomechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), emphasized that combining advanced technologies such as biology and electromechanics is expected to achieve human repair and improvement Vision for the future—The current problems faced by people with disabilities continue to be caused by the backwardness of existing technology. He expects that by the end of this century, advanced biomechanical technology can be used to completely solve the problem of disabilities.

Hugh Herr is a two-legged amputee himself. He emphasized in the design speech of "Design West" that through the ability of advanced technology, the wounded parts of the body can be gradually healed and repaired. Herr has conducted in-depth research in the field of bioelectromechanics for a long time, and its goal is to assist people who have lost limbs to be able to rehabilitate and also enhance the function of the body. In view of the fact that at least 14 people have been amputated after the bombing incident in Boston, Herr's talk seems to be particularly important.

Herr emphasized that the research work on biomechanics is not only applicable to the recovery of the physical appearance of the body, but can also be applied to the cognitive and emotional abilities of the human brain. Herr used his own example to illustrate the current status and future vision of related research.

Hugh Herr lost his legs below the knee due to frostbite and developed a more suitable prosthesis according to his own needs

"I'm standing on a lot of titanium, carbon and silicon now", he rolled up his trousers and exposed his prosthesis. Herr lost his calf due to frostbite in a mountaineering accident in 1982. After that, he actively carried out biomechanical research and developed a more suitable prosthesis according to his own needs. Herr said, "In the end, I can climb even higher, even exceeding the standard before the accident!"
