In the following days, Lu An led the team to continue fighting on the front line, preparing to finalize the product.
In this process, we also encountered some difficulties and challenges, because Luan wanted to make this product both easy to use and at a price that is acceptable to the public.
When making the joints of a robotic arm, it is a big problem how to make the joints flexible and stable while keeping the cost budget as low as possible.
The team tried a variety of materials and design structures, and went through many trials and failures.
But Lu An had accumulated more than 500 years of knowledge and quickly found a suitable solution. The efficiency was actually quite amazing. Even the big companies in the industry could not figure it out so quickly.
In terms of power system selection, due to cost and size constraints, Lu An personally developed a miniaturized motor.
After several improvements, it finally meets the requirements.
Everyone is becoming more and more convinced of the boss. When encountering a problem, the boss can quickly solve it by taking action. The longer he works, the more hopeful he becomes.
Unconsciously, two months passed like this.
The entire team was immersed in intense and orderly work, and no one resigned during this period.
The work intensity is indeed very high, but everyone has only one goal in mind, which is to polish the company's first product.
· During work, when everyone is hungry, they just eat some instant noodles to cope with the problem.
When you are tired, just sit on the sofa and squint for a while.
Everyone sees that Lu An’s work intensity is the same as theirs every day, and the work intensity is even higher because he has more things to busy with.
The boss set an example, and everyone gritted their teeth and persisted.
It has been three months since the company was established, and it will take another three months at most to see the results.
…
The time comes to mid-September.
The first bionic prosthetic robotic arm has finally been successfully manufactured.
Lu An led the team to create this advanced bionic prosthetic robotic arm almost entirely by hand under limited conditions after several months of hard work.
At this moment, when everyone saw this bionic prosthetic robotic arm, they all felt it was worth it.
"Boss, I brought you here."
Everyone followed the sound and He Liang came to the factory, and another strange man came with him.
The strange man is a relative of He Liang. The company needs a volunteer. He Liang's relative happens to be a physically disabled person who has lost an arm.
The person was brought over, they chatted briefly and then went straight to the topic.
He Liang's relatives followed the instructions and sat down next to him and took off their shirts.
Several employees installed the bionic prosthesis on his body and it was done quickly.
More than 20 employees were watching. Lu An glanced at the computer screen next to him and said immediately, "Try to command it." Hearing this, He Liang's relative took a deep breath and tried to move his arms.
At the beginning, the movements were a little stiff, but with the adaptive dynamic adjustment of the sensors and control algorithms, I gradually got used to it, and the movements of the bionic prosthetic arm became more and more natural.
"I...I can feel it moving with my thoughts!" He Liang's relative immediately became excited and stared at the bionic prosthesis intently.
This scene not only excited him, but also the employees present were excited and equally excited.
Lu An was very calm. He picked up a bottle of mineral water and handed it to He Liang's relatives.
The other party understood his intention, and immediately picked up the mineral water with his left hand, and then slowly raised his right bionic prosthetic leg.
In the witness of everyone, he slowly unscrewed the bottle cap with a bionic prosthetic robotic arm, which immediately caused the employees present to cheer and everyone couldn't help but applaud.
An employee took a video recording device to capture this scene.
He Liang's relatives were very excited, and Lu An immediately said, "Try to take a sip with your prosthetic arm."
He nodded while suppressing his excitement, and changed the bottle of mineral water in his left hand to the bionic prosthetic in his right hand. The mechanical arm held the mineral water and brought it steadily to his mouth.
Under the witness of everyone, he successfully drank a sip of water with the robotic arm.
“Niu Bi Niu Bi, this movement is very smooth and will definitely beat all prosthetic products on the market.” He Liang said excitedly on the spot, and his relatives were also very excited.
Next, Lu An guided the other party to try further.
I saw him trying to pick up a wrench with his bionic prosthetic arm, and then put it in the tool box accurately.
One of the employees found two thin iron sticks and used them as chopsticks for him to try. He Liang’s relative successfully picked up the items with his bionic prosthetic limb.
"Incredible, it's really incredible. It beats those prosthetic limbs on the market that sell for hundreds of thousands." He Liang's relatives looked at the bionic prosthetic limb. The prosthetic limb also flipped, raised, stretched out, and retracted his hand according to his thoughts. He then said: "I want to buy this prosthetic limb. How much does it cost? Is it expensive? It should be expensive, right?"
The words are extremely urgent and undisguised. I want to buy one immediately, but I am worried that the price is too expensive and I cannot afford it.
Lu An smiled and said: "There is no rush, it still needs some debugging, it is not expensive, and the general public can afford it. I will leave one for you when the product is finalized, and I will ask He Liang to send it to you when the time comes."
Hearing this, He Liang's relative couldn't help but nodded.
But he was still very excited. This bionic prosthetic limb was no less than a new life for him personally.
This bionic prosthetic robotic arm is not as refined in appearance as the products produced by large companies because it is not yet a finished product.
But the technical content is definitely superior to all its peers. The core technology is the intelligent control algorithm developed by Luan, which can quickly and accurately sense and analyze the user's muscle signals and convert them into corresponding actions.
The joint flexibility of bionic prosthetics is very high, and this alone makes it inferior to its peers.
Including a total of 11 joint degrees of freedom of the shoulder joint, elbow joint, wrist joint, metacarpophalangeal joint, and interphalangeal joint, as well as 20 degrees of freedom of the five fingers of the palm, a total of 31 joint degrees of freedom.
Because of this, we can even use chopsticks and complete various complex actions.
And with strong power, the robotic arm can withstand lifting a weight of 115 kilograms, which can fully meet the daily needs of users.
…
A few hours later, everyone left the factory and arrived at the company's office.
In the office area, the bionic prosthetic robotic arm is placed on a table, and all the employees are also there.
“As for this bionic prosthetic robotic arm, how do you think it is competitive in the market?” Lu An said with a smile as he looked at the prosthetic arm.
He Liang immediately responded: "I absolutely beat all competing products of the same type. My relative was so excited that he wished he could take this robotic arm away on the spot."
Lu An looked around at everyone. He smiled and said: "Do you still regret following me now? Who can come up with such advanced things in just a few months?"
Zhang Wenjie said cheerfully: "Guo Wei will definitely faint in the toilet from crying, haha!"
Everyone laughed happily when they heard this. Everyone present realized the potential of this product.
If nothing else, judging from the reaction of He Liang's relatives when we were at the factory a few hours ago, we knew that this bionic prosthetic limb was definitely going to be a big hit.
At this time, all the employees present were glad that they had not resigned.
Although I have been as tired as a horse in the past few months, I am now more and more motivated.
Especially because the boss promised before that everyone, as the initial team, will still be eligible for the company's option allotment, and we are all looking forward to it now.
