What Is Rickettsial Disease?
The RI-MAN robot is a medical porter model developed by the Nagoya Riken Biological Simulation Control Research Center. Not only does it have a soft, safe shape, but it also has tactile sensors on the arms and body, allowing it to carefully lift or move patients. In the long run, RI-MAN robots can replace carers to care for the elderly or frail.

- The RI-MAN robot is a medical porter model developed by the Nagoya Riken Biological Simulation Control Research Center. Not only does it have a soft, safe shape, but it also has tactile sensors on the arms and body, allowing it to carefully lift or move patients. In the long run, RI-MAN robots can replace carers to care for the elderly or frail.
- RI-MAN robot is made by
- The robot is equipped with soft tactile sensors in five parts, which can sense a certain pressure. It is also equipped with vision, hearing and olfactory sensors, which can locate the source according to the sound source and find the person calling it through visual processing, understand the voice instructions, and then hold the doll that imitates the caregiver horizontally. In addition to smoothly completing this series of actions, the robot can also judge the health status of the caregiver in its arms through the olfactory sensor.
- The researchers responsible for the design of "RI-NAM" said that they refer to the human nervous system and use specific structures and devices to simulate the human brain, cerebellum, and spinal cord, respectively, and successfully developed a network system that can control the entire body of the robot. The researchers said that in an emergency, the robot can respond to the external environment as quickly as human conditioned reflexes. Professor Usui, a geriatrics specialist at the Osaka College of Nursing, Japan, believes that interpersonal interactions and conversations are important to patients (in the elderly care process), and simply listening to music and watching TV is not enough, so robots are considered An ideal choice.
