Vitaly Gallov, a 3D modeling designer, is very famous in the field of video games and movies. He has participated in the mechanical design of many robots' sci-fi electricity, such as Terminator, Robocop, Transformers and StarCraft, so "Fa-"
This humanoid robot, named METHOD- 1, was jointly developed by robot companies Vitaly Bao Garoff and Korea Future Technology in Seoul, South Korea. At present, the robot has completed the first phase of testing. The method-1 is somewhat similar to the giant machine in Avatar and the electric loader in Alien 1986. Korea Future Technology began to develop robots from 20 14. The early prototype product was unveiled in June last year, and METHOD- 1 is part of the project. Vitaly Bao Gallov said: "Our plan is to develop a reliable robot platform, which can play a role in various applications, and these applications are utilitarian." He also said: "At that time, the ambitious South Korean future science and technology team invited me to join the company as a designer to develop large-scale human-controlled robots. I thought they were joking at the time, and it took me a while to know that they were serious. "
The method-1 is very heavy, and the floor is shaking when walking. People stand in machines and control giant robots. The designer also revealed some details of the robot, for example, the legs of the robot will be made of carbon fiber. Its movements are more flexible, and its arms, wrists and fingers can be flexible. The walking speed is relatively slow, but it is much better than other robots of the same type. Method-1 It's really "walking" with one foot off the ground, taking a step forward and changing feet off the ground, which means that many teams are using wheels or tracks with low technical difficulty. Bao Garoff said that giant robots can be used in indoor factories, as flexible handling tools, and can also be used for outdoor cleaning.
In this case, METHOD- 1 can go to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan to clean up many difficult-to-move sundries and collapsed factories. 20 1 1 An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 occurred in Japan. The tsunami triggered by the earthquake directly defeated the protection system of Fukushima nuclear power plant. Three nuclear reactors in the nuclear power plant were melted and damaged, and the surrounding areas were affected by nuclear radiation. Four years later, the explosion area of Fukushima nuclear power plant has not been completely cleaned up. Earlier this year, TEPCO successfully removed 1535 spent fuel rods from the cooling pool of the No.4 reactor building. This task is relatively simple, because the radiation level of the reactor is low, so the staff can monitor the removal process more closely. The radiation level of reactor No.3 is much higher than that of human beings-this is where those poor robots died young. It is estimated that 566 fuel rods need to be dismantled. The fuel rods melted through the containment of the reactor, and no one knows their exact location at present. When robots approach the reactor, radiation will destroy their lines and make them ineffective, which will lead to a long delay. In addition, since each robot needs to be customized according to each building, it takes two years to manufacture each robot.
In order to inspect and clean up the Fukushima nuclear power plant, in the past four years, Japan has made great efforts and sent many kinds of robots, but many robots have failed. Of course, we hope that the appearance of METHOD- 1 can solve this problem. (Science fiction Galaxy Constantine/Wen)
