【用新聞學英文】Robot Glove May Help Reduce Injuries in Factories 機器人手套可能降低工廠傷害 (本季終)

🌏Article Lifting heavy things and doing the same movement again and again can cause injuries, a problem common among factory and warehouse workers. But one company says it has the technology to help, and it's almost as simple as putting on a pair of gloves. The product, developed by Swedish company Bioservo Technologies, is a glove called Ironhand. It's soft, like a normal glove, and only starts working when the user moves their hand. Ironhand gives people extra grip and strength through motors that pull the fingers of the glove in, just like how a human hand moves. The company says that the glove can increase hand strength by 20%, and the user can also choose how much extra strength the glove provides. Ironhand comes with a battery that the user wears, which can last for up to about eight hours. Mikael Wester, Bioservo's marketing director, told CNN that when someone has the glove on, they don't have to work as hard to lift things, which reduces injuries. Wester also said that the Ironhand can be worn while using tools. NASA first developed the technology used in the glove to help people hold things and perform tasks in space. In 2016, Bioservo started working with car company General Motors to make a glove for factory workers using the same technology. 🌏Summary 瑞典有家公司發明了一種名為「鋼鐵手」(Ironhand)的手套。 鋼鐵手經由馬達將手套的手指拉住,提供人們額外的抓力和力量。有了這個神奇手套,人們不用很吃力,就能把東西抬起來,可以減少對搬運重物者的傷害。鋼鐵手搭載使用者穿戴的電池,電力可持續約八個小時。 而且,穿戴的感覺很舒服、很柔軟,就跟一般手套一樣。 🌏Words & Phrases movement移動 injury受傷 warehouse倉庫 #每周二、四更新 #歡迎留言給Neil鼓勵喔~ ----- 主持人：陳彣 (Neil) ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：英語Follow me ----- ▍教育電臺 ▍官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV ▍粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink ▍線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE Powered by Firstory Hosting
