Every year, the world's best minds create new inventions that make our lives easier and more interesting. Here are some best inventions listed by Time magazine.
Photo-taking drone(无人机)
Spark is a camera drone. It can fly above your head and take photos. A Chinese company called DJI made it. It is very small. When folded, it is as small as a can of soda. Like other drones, you can control it with a remote control. But you can also control it with hand gestures.
This is the coolest part. Put your hand close to your face. Spark is ready to take a photo of you when its red light flashes. Then, put your hand down. After a few seconds, the photo is taken. With hand gestures, taking photos is very convenient.
Hospital robotMoxi
Nurses are busy with many things during atypical workday. It can be hard for nurses to make time for their most important task: interacting(互动)with their patients. The company Diligent Robotics has built a hospital robot called Moxi. It can help nurses do non-patient-facing tasks so that they have more time for patient care.
Moxi has an arm to reach and a gripper(抓爪)to pick up things. It can move around easily. It is able lo finish tasks one by one on its own. After testing Moxi for one year, the company plans to send Moxi to more US hospitals by the end of 2020.
Smart hand
People use artificial intelligence(AI)in many ways. The company Brain Robotics used it to make a smart prosthetic(假体的)hand. With its AI software, the hand can "learn" from its user and vice versa(反之亦然). This kind of learning helps the hand work like a real hand. The more it is used, the more lifelike it will be.
The hand is cheaper than other prosthetic hands thanks to the use of 3D printing. Each hand is printed to fit the user correctly. Users don't have to pay for extra doctor visits.
