Eythor Bender - Berkeley Bionics' CEO

Why you should listen

Eythor Bender is the CEO of Berkeley Bionics, which augments humans with wearable, powered and artificially intelligent devices called exoskeletons or "wearable robots." User of the HULC (Human Universal Load Carrier) can carry up to 200 pounds for hours and over all terrains. eLEGS, an exoskeleton for wheelchair users, powers paraplegics up to get them standing and walking.

Bender has fostered innovation with bionic and orthopedic technologies throughout his career, taking them from unconventional approaches to sustainable, FDA-approved products that help individuals participate in their community. Such was the case with the boomerang-shaped prosthesis Cheetah Flex-Foot by Ossur, worn by the history-making bilateral amputee Oscar Pistorius. Bender's team fought for, and won, Pistorius' right to compete in the Olympics.

Eythor Bender iz Berkeley Bionics-a donosi na pozornicu dva nevjerojatna egzoskeletona, HULC-a i eLEGS-a -- robotske dodatke koji bi mogli jedan dan omogučiti ljudima da nose 90 kg, bez umora, ili dopustiti korisniku invalidskih kolica da stoji i hoda. To je snažna demonstracija na pozornici, uz implikacije za ljudski potencijal svih vrsta.

To showpokazati you now what we are workingrad on
19

3000
Kako bi vam pokazali na čemu sada radimo
01:16
by startingpolazeći out talkingkoji govori about
20
61000
2000
počet ćemo govoriti o
01:18
the AmericanAmerički soldiervojnik,
21
63000
2000
američkom vojniku,
01:20
that on averageprosječan does carrynositi about 100 lbslbs. on theirnjihov backsleđa,
22
65000
4000
koji u prosjeku nose oko 45 kg na svojim leđima,
01:24
and they are beingbiće askedpitao to carrynositi more equipmentoprema.
23

3000
i od njih se traži da nose više opreme.
01:27
ObviouslyOčito, this is resultingŠto je rezultiralo
24

3000
Očito, to je rezultiralo
01:30
in some majorglavni complicationskomplikacije --
25

01:36
chronickronični back injuriesozljede.
27

2000
ima kronične ozljede leđa.
01:38
So we thought we would look at this challengeizazov
28
83000
3000
Tako smo mislili kako možemo odgovoriti na ovaj izazov
01:41
and createstvoriti an exoskeletonoklop
29
86000
3000
i stvoriti egzoskeleton
01:44
that would help dealdogovor with this issueizdanje.

01:48
So let me now introducepredstaviti to you HULCHULC --

Eythor Bender: Spremni smo s našim industrijskim partnerom
02:20
to introducepredstaviti this deviceuređaj,
42
125000
2000
za uvođenje ovog uređaja,
02:22
this newnovi exoskeletonoklop this yeargodina.
43

3000
ovog novog egzoskeletona ove godine.
02:25
So this is for realstvaran.
44
130000
2000
Dakle, to je za ozbiljno.
02:27
Now let's turnskretanje our headsglave
45
132000
3000
Sada ćemo se okrenuti
02:30
towardsza the wheelchairinvalidska kolica usersKorisnici,
46
135000
3000
prema korisnicima invalidskih kolica,
02:33
something that I'm particularlynaročito passionatestrasan about.
47
138000
3000
nešto oko čega sam posebno strastven.
02:36
There are 68 millionmilijuna people
48
141000
2000
Prema procjeni postoji 68 milijuna ljudi
02:38
estimatedprocijenjen to be in wheelchairsinvalidskim kolicima worldwideširom svijeta.
49
143000
3000
širom svijeta u invalidskim kolicima.
02:41
This is about one percentposto of the totalukupno populationpopulacija.
50
146000
3000
To je oko jedan posto ukupnog stanovništva.
02:44
And that's actuallyzapravo a conservativekonzervativan estimateprocjena.
51
149000
3000
I to je zapravo konzervativna procjena.
02:47
We are talkingkoji govori here about, oftentimesčesto,
52
152000
2000
Mi ovdje govorimo o, često,
02:49
very youngmladi individualspojedinci with spinalspinalni cordvrpca injuriesozljede,
53
154000
3000
vrlo mladim osobama s ozljedama leđne moždine,
02:52
that in the primeglavni of theirnjihov life -- 20s, 30s, 40s --
54
157000
3000
koji u najboljim godinama svog života -- 20tim, 30tim, 40tim --
02:55

02:57
and the wheelchair'skolica je the only optionopcija.
56
162000
2000
i invalidska kolica su jedina opcija.
02:59
But it is alsotakođer the agingstarenje populationpopulacija
57
164000
2000
Ali, tu je također i starenje stanovništva
03:01
that is multiplyingmnoženjem in numbersbrojevi.
58
166000
3000
koje stalno raste.
03:04
And the only optionopcija, prettyprilično much --
59
169000
3000
A jedina mogućnost, više manje --
03:07
when it's strokeudar or other complicationskomplikacije --
60
172000
2000
kod moždanog udara ili drugih komplikacija --
03:09
is the wheelchairinvalidska kolica.
61
174000
2000
jesu invalidska kolica.
03:11
And that is actuallyzapravo for the last 500 yearsgodina,
62
176000
4000
I tako je zapravo posljednjih 500 godina,
03:15
sinceod its very successfuluspješan introductionUvod, I mustmora say.
63
180000
3000
od njihova vrlo uspješnog uvođenja, moram reći.
