BreakingNews·191008 - 瘫痪男子使用机器人套装走路

A man who is paralyzed from below his shoulders has been able to walk using a robotic suit. The 28-year-old man could not move his arms, hips and legs after an accident. Doctors fitted him with a special robotic exoskeleton - this is a machine that covered his arms, legs and body. The machine was attached to the ceiling so the man could keep his balance and not fall over. He controlled the machine using high-tech sensors that were implanted near his brain. The man used his thoughts to tell the sensors to move the machine. His brain sent messages to the machine and it moved his arms and legs. He was able to walk a few steps using the machine even though he was paralyzed.

一名肩膀以下瘫痪的男子已经能够使用机器人套装走路了。这名28岁的男子在一次事故后无法移动手臂、臀部和腿部。医生为他安装了一个特殊的机器人外骨骼——这是一个覆盖他的手臂、腿和身体的机器。机器被固定在天花板上，这样这个人就可以保持平衡而不会摔倒。他使用植入大脑附近的高科技传感器来控制机器。这个人用他的思想告诉传感器移动机器。他的大脑向机器发送信息，机器移动他的胳膊和腿。尽管瘫痪了，他还是能用这台机器走几步。

Doctors say they are in the early stages of developing this technology. They believe robotic exoskeletons will help disabled people to live better lives in the future. Technology will be able to pick up signals from the brain to control wearable robotic technology. The next stage is to remove the ceiling harness. A neurosurgeon who co-led the exoskeleton trial commented on the exoskeleton suit. He said it was the first wireless, brain-controlled system to be designed that can move all four limbs. The man was very happy with the test. He said: "I can't go home tomorrow in my exoskeleton, but I've got to a point where I can walk. I walk when I want and I stop when I want."

医生们说，他们还处于开发这项技术的早期阶段。他们相信，机器人外骨骼将帮助残疾人在未来过上更好的生活。技术将能够从大脑接收信号来控制可穿戴机器人技术。下一步是拆下吊带。一名共同领导外骨骼试验的神经外科医生对这款外骨骼套装发表了评论。他说，这是第一个可以移动四肢的无线大脑控制系统。这个人对这个测试非常满意。他说:“我明天不能穿着外骨骼回家，但我已经到了可以走路的地步了。我想走就走，想停就停。”
