Up to this point, humankind has made quite a lot of seemingly ridiculous things and only appeared in sci-fi films.

There is one thing, however, that we have not yet succeeded in bringing them out of novel books: the machine controlled by the person sitting inside. They are basically robots that you can order them, and are already giant monsters like movies, books and even video games, but still not in real life. see where they are - until now.

Thanks to the engineer named Jonathan Tippett, the Earth finally has giant robots that are proud. The inventors of the Furrion Robotics gave it the name Prothesis , and it was the first electronic racing robot - and Digital Trends reporters were the first witnesses to see it on their own.

Prothesis - the first electronic racing robot introduced at the CES 2017 event.

If you hear the name seems a bit familiar, maybe because you have caught a sample of it at the CES 2017 event. It has attracted a lot of attention at this event, but not yet. works - it's just a giant pile of iron and steel assembled together into a robot. It wasn't until last week that the Prothesis was ready for testing.

However, the sad thing is, this is not really a "test run" but just a "jog ". This robot has achieved outstanding achievements compared to the CES event, but it is still not good to leave it 'outstanding' . Just like a child, Prosthesis must learn to walk before he can run, and must learn to crawl before he knows it.

Prosthesis test first.

So, the first test, I have to admit, makes Digital Trends reporters a little disappointed. They went to the lab, hoping to see the machines like a Jaegers in the real Pacific Rims blockbuster going round and round, but only saw it swing a little, and stood still. Although this was not really a display of mechanical muscles that caused them to drop their jaws, it still left a deep impression.

For the Prosthesis robot, even a fairly simple task like a ton of attacks requires a lot of skill. The movement is not controlled by a handle or a steering wheel. Instead, each leg or hand of this robot is connected directly to the driver's limbs, so if they move, Prosthesis will follow suit. It is almost completely different from other heavy machine humans, so it is very time-consuming to make difficult moves.

Furrion's ultimate goal is to create a robot race, boosting the development of robotics as the way NASCAR or Formula One has led the engine industry forward. It seems that these scientists have not really grasped the bottlenecks to help robots like Prosthesis move flexibly, so we will have to wait a long time before witness firsthand the robot robot racing.

Furrion was not so frustrated, they were optimistic. The company said that Prosthesis would be able to run and walk (at speeds up to 32km / h) this summer, and that would be enough for robot races to start appearing in the next few years.
