'Realistic' robot designed legs

Author / source: Independent ONLINE report/BBC

U.S. experts have developed what they say that are biologically accurate robot legs yet.

Writing in the journal of neural engineering, they said that the work on consultation understanding like babies and spinal injury treatment learning could help.

They created a version of the message system, rhythmic muscle signals generated that the control on foot.

A UK expert said that the work was exciting, because the robot mimics control and not just movement.

The team from the University of Arizona, could the Central pattern generator (CPG) - a nerve cell to replicate, (neuronal) network in the lumbar region of the spinal cord that rhythmic muscle generated signals.

The CPG produces and then controls, these signals by collecting information from different parts of the body involved in walking, respond to the environment.

This is what people, to go without thinking about.

The simplest form of a CPG is a half Center, which consists of only two neurons that produce either fire signals a rhythm as the sensors, which provide information, for example. If a leg back to the half Center meets a surface.
'New approach'

The University of Arizona team suggests babies start with this simple building - and then in the course of time develop a more complex pattern on foot.

They say this may explain, has seen why babies put on a treadmill started - even before they learned to walk.

Writing in the journal, the team says: "this robot is a complete physical, or 'Neurorobotic'-based model of the system, demonstrate the usefulness of this type of Robotics Research for the neuropsychological study go in humans and animals".

Dr. Theresa Klein, who in the study worked, said: "Interestingly we a foot gear, could control the lower extremities without producing balance, which mimicked human control of the hip and a number of reflex responses with only a simple half-Centre."

"This underlying network can also form the core of the CPG and could explain how people with spinal cord injuries to walk can regain ability, if stimulated correctly in the months after the injury."

Matt Thornton, gait analysis laboratory head at the British Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, said that the work "an interesting development" was.

He added: "back robot models have imitated human movement: this continues and mimics the underlying human control mechanisms driving this movement."

"It could be to examine a new approach and to understand the relationship between nervous system control and hiking provide pathologies."

Mr. Thornton said existing systems for the analysis of how people walk, so called gait analysis carried out by the RNOH and others common movements in 3D, run exactly measure hips, knees and ankles while patients on a treadmill. Patients react differently depending on their condition.

He added: "at present this analysis provides us with detailed information about joints, bones and muscles."

"The robot model can go a step further in linking these problems of the nervous system, which actually controls the movement."

"Increased to understand the impact, such as patients with spinal cord injury are very exciting."

Singh rarely grants media interviews, but has his public statements since his last month, which see to analysts as an effort be heir to secure shut up on the Finance Ministry portfolio.

Singh is not still expected as premier after the elections in the year 2014 and his personal reputation has a spanking spanking during his second term in the midst of a series of high-profile corruption scandals and accusations of policy drift.

"Comes to the personal criticism, not only I maintain a high degree of integrity in my behavior, I have endeavoured to increase the levels in the system," Singh said.

Citing legislation such as the right to information act and a whistleblower Bill, the Prime Minister said that his Government had made significant progress in the improvement of official responsibility, that would benefit future generations.

"Never before have so many steps taken in such a short time in the history of India and bring to his responsible transparency in the functioning Government, Government of the people make and bring in measures for the control of corruption," he said.

"As well as pessimism about the economy in the markets more and less on the ground, also in the case of damage, I don't think that any explosion in corruption has taken place under my watch," he added.

Singh's coalition Government has engaged in a series of scandals has been.

The most high-profile case involved former Telecom Minister A. Raja, who in November 2010 for the sale of the second generation (2 g) Telecom licenses far below their market value to companies stop selected.

Raja was later arrested and is z.z. on trial.

Since then he has "animal spirit" urged officials to revive the economy and reverse a "climate of pessimism", that has been the last few years.

Global credit rating agencies have warned that it India's debt to junk status with the economy reeling from gaping fiscal and current account deficits and stubbornly strong inflation downgrade can.

The economy grew by 5.3 per cent between January and March-the slowest quarterly expansion more than a quarter of its value against the US dollar has lost in nine years and the rupee in the past 12 months.

"The history of India growth is intact," said Singh, in the confirm that the country was passing through "difficult" times.

Promising to bring, he stressed the importance of the foreign investors at a time of declining capital inflows that have aggravated India's current account deficit "full clarity" on all tax measures reassuring.

"We want the world know that India treated all fair and reasonable and there will be no arbitrariness in tax matters," he said.

His comments are speculation fuel, which the Government is ready, backwards way of efforts, aggressively to tax, passing on financial transactions with companies such as British giant Vodafone phone.
