Harvard's futuristic wearable soft robot is an interesting tool.

The new soft robot suit can give major help to Parkinson's patients. But it can make many new things. The Harvard developers developed a futuristic soft robot suite for Parkinson patient's that can correct their "freezing" moments. That soft robot suite can interact with muscles and nerves. The computer system sees when the freezing moment comes. And the robot suite can react to that thing.

That robot suite can also be used by people who have brain injuries. Or bad balance. The robot suite sensors can see when a person falls. And then it can make counter-movement. That counter movement can done by using muscle stimulation. Or the system can use the tools that are connected to the robot suit.

When a person loses balance or goes unconscious the robot suit can save a person from injuries and even dial the emergency number. Then the AI tells what is the problem. The robot suite can also send information on the body functions to the ambulance crew that comes to the place. The number and position of sensors determine what data that kind of system can collect.

"Researchers at SEAS and the BU’s Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences used a soft, wearable robot to help a person living with Parkinson’s walk without freezing. The robotic garment, worn around the hips and thighs, gives a gentle push to the hips as the leg swings, helping the patient achieve a longer stride. The research demonstrates the potential of soft robotics to treat a potentially dangerous symptom of Parkinson’s disease and could allow people living with the disease to regain their mobility and independence.

The thing is that this kind of system can also be suitable in space and other extreme places. In the deep sea, those robots can used to save scuba divers in the case of nitrogen narcosis. Another thing is that those robots or their sensors can also used to control the exobodies. Exobody is the robot that the operator controls in augmented reality. The system can use the EEG curves to control the human-looking robot's actions. Or the system can use sensors that connect to angles.

Those sensors are used to make human-looking animated cartoons. The same technology can used to control robots. The operator can control the "exobody" by using laser scanners and cameras that are in circles around the operator. Then the operator must only make movements and the system transfers them to the exobody.

An ability to take the body under control makes that kind of operation more flexible and safe than ever before. The robot suit can cooperate with the space suit. And when we think about wearable robot-space suits that thing can make it possible to create new types of tools to handle things like nuclear accidents.

Especially the heavy space suit called the "white suit" is very resistant to radiation. That kind of space suit robots can used for cleaning operations in areas, where radioactive fallout is at a dangerous level. The white suit is developed to protect its users against cosmic radiation and high-speed electrons and helium nuclei. The hollow suite-looking robot can act as a rescue capsule. The system can take humans inside it, and then travel out from the danger zone.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources. The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources. "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics. The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible....

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger. The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth. It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons. It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...
