神奇"机器人手套"让你秒获超人之力

The glove that gives you super-human strength: Nasa device could DOUBLE your gripping power

Factory workers are about to get super-human strength thanks to Nasa's 'Robo-Glove'.

有了美国航天局(NASA)研发的"机器人手套",工厂工人将获超人之力.

The glove helped scientists control Robonaut 2, a humanoid that provided engineering and technical assistance on space mission just like Star Wars' R2-D2.

科学家曾用这一手套控制第二代航天机器人,这种机器人和《星球大战》电影中的R2大神一样可以在执行航天任务中提供工程与技术支持.

But now it has been given power-boosting technologies thanks to a partnership between General Motors and medical technology company Bioservo, who hope that it will help workers on factory floors.

现在"机器人手套"在通用汽车公司与医疗科技公司Bioservo的合作研发下又配备了力量增强的技术,这两个公司希望该手套可以帮助到工厂工人.

Using a combination of sensors that function like human nerves, muscles and tendons the new Power Glove has the same dexterity of the human hand - but with mammoth strength.

手套里内置传感器(其功能类似人类的神经、肌肉和肌腱),使得这一新型动力手套与人手一般灵活——同时还力大无穷.

The ground-breaking muscle-mimicking technologies could help employees in health care and manufacturing industries where a strong grip is necessary to get the job done.

这种开创性的肌肉仿真技术可以帮助到健康医疗以及制造业的工作人员,因为要完成这两个行业的工作往往需要强大的握力.

The glove helps stops tired hands from aching after a long day's work and will make it easier for workers to, quite literally, get a grip.

工人戴上手套,即便工作一整天,手部肌肉也不会酸痛,这还真是"抓住窍门"了.

It could slash the amount of force an assembly operator needs to hold a tool during an operation in half.

在车间作业中,戴了手套的装配工人在操作工具时只需使一半力.

An assembly operator in a factory may use 15- to 20 pounds of force to hold a tool during an operation, for example.

比如说,某次作业中工厂装配工人操作工具可能用到的力是15到20磅(相当于6.81到9.08公斤).

But with the robotic glove, the factory operator might need to apply only five to 10 pounds of force.
