Rehabilitation robots help paraplegic patients stand and walk; Machine guided dogs help visually impaired individuals clear obstacles in the front road; All terrain wheelchairs help disabled and elderly people to go downstairs at any time; Brain computer interface assistive devices enable robotic arms to play piano, practice calligraphy, help people with lower limb disabilities run, enable visually impaired people to move forward steadily, and enable hearing-impaired people to communicate with the world On July 17th, the organizing committee of the 12th National Paralympic Games and the 9th Special Olympic Games (hereinafter referred to as the "Paralympic Games") held a press conference with the theme of "Spring Business Vitality Blooming", focusing on the highlights of the preparatory work for the Paralympic Games and the development achievements of the disabled people's cause, among which the field of technology assistance for the disabled became the focus. Some products are specifically developed for people with disabilities, while others are aimed at the entire population. Today we need to promote and demonstrate, tomorrow is a necessity of life. ”Chen Xuejun, Deputy Secretary General of the Paralympic Committee, stated that technology assisted disability is the biggest highlight of this year's Paralympic Games. The Paralympic Games will be used as a stage to showcase Guangdong's ability and level of technology assisted disability, and application scenarios will be set up in all aspects of organizing, participating in, and watching the games. Provide scientific support for daily training and post competition recovery of disabled athletes in the field of rehabilitation training; In terms of intelligent assistive devices, it helps disabled athletes and spectators overcome difficulties from multiple dimensions. Chen Xuejun introduced that this year's Paralympic Special Olympics will continue to provide exhibition opportunities for Guangdong Intelligent Manufacturing. Through the Paralympic Special Olympics demonstration of product application scenarios, good products will help disabled people, the elderly, and other people in need to live a more quality and dignified life. Intelligent wheelchairs, rehabilitation devices, and guide products are representatives of our country's advanced assistive device manufacturing industry. ”Chen Hailong, deputy leader of the high-tech product exhibition team of the Guangdong Special Olympics Executive Committee, introduced that the market share of wheelchairs, walkers and other products in Guangdong has reached 50% to 60%, and the export share of products accounts for 70% of similar products in the country. Foshan's wheelchair and mobility aid production capacity accounts for 30% of the national total. Intelligent wheelchairs can achieve point-to-point unmanned driving, full scene obstacle avoidance, and risk warning; The all terrain wheelchair can climb stairs and traverse complex terrains; The brain controlled wheelchair can assist in serving and swinging by using the EEG headset and eye signals to control it. In terms of rehabilitation equipment, Guangdong has formed a dual wheel drive industry pattern of "billion level assistive devices+billion level services". Among them, the rehabilitation robot product industry accounts for 42% of the national scale. With the advantages of industrial chain clusters and technological innovation, Guangdong has become the core engine of the national exoskeleton robot market. Guangzhou Yikang Medical's upper limb rehabilitation robot is the world's first robot to achieve three-dimensional upper limb assessment and training. It can provide scientific rehabilitation assistance for athletes and rehabilitation populations, improving the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatment by at least 25% compared to traditional methods. In terms of guide products, Guangdong has formed a certain market size and industrial foundation, with the characteristics of "leading technology, multiple application pilot projects, and initial industrial scale". For example, the guide robot dog adopts multimodal 3D voxel composite perception technology, which can feedback obstacles and remind them through the traction frame; The hexapod guide robot dog, with the help of systems such as LiDAR, can guide visually impaired individuals to move in various scenarios; AI glasses can relay the scene in front of us to visually impaired people through voice, making communication more convenient. There are still many advanced manufacturing enterprises and products like this, which shows that our country has made great progress in technology assistance for the disabled in recent years, greatly promoting the development of the disability cause in our country. ”Chen Hailong stated that with the continuous advancement of technology, technology assisted disability will bring us more surprises, and disabled people will also be better integrated into society with the help of technological development.
