According to the "Connect" website, the United States Arrow Electronics recently developed a system device that relies on head shaking to control the vehicle. With this product, a patient who suffers from a car accident in a car accident enjoys the pleasure of driving a car again after 14 years.
Sam Schmidt used to be a very promising racer and has participated in 27 IndyCar races as a starter. However, on January 6, 2000, he turned over the gutter and hit the wall while playing in the Disney World, causing the neck to linger. Although a year later, he founded his own team and returned to the racing world as a boss, but driving to Schmidt is absolutely impossible.
This situation turned around at the end of 2013. Arrow Electronics found Schmidt and asked if it would like to participate in the company's research and development projects in order to get a chance to drive again. Schmidt did not hesitate to agree.
As a high-tech company, Arrow's business design in medical, consumer electronics and other fields has sufficient experience to develop the “Drug Drive†project. In 2013, Arrow Electronics has developed a sports car that is only hand-driven and has been successfully tested by a former professional driver with a lower body. On this basis, Arrow Electronics decided to enter the harder target of driving the patient. They called this project a "semi-automatic vehicle" (SAM) and jointly developed by companies and research institutes such as Boer Air and the US Air Force Laboratory.
The project will require Schmidt to drive a 2014 Corvette Stingray, a 460-horsepower modified VT. The research team will monitor Schmitt's physiological indicators and his interaction with the control system during his driving. When driving, Schmidt will also wear a special cap with multiple reflecting spheres that will help Schmidt control the car with four infrared surveillance cameras mounted in the cabin: swinging left or right Make a change of direction, accelerate upwards, and engage the sensor attached to the teeth to brake. When Schmidt makes these actions, the on-board computer will screen it in milliseconds to determine if it is the driver's true intention, or just accidentally sneeze and then command the steering wheel or pedal. Make the appropriate action. In addition, the GPS unit behind the car will also scan the current position of the vehicle 100 times per second and alert Schmidt when the vehicle deviates from the channel by one meter.
Shakeb Lusuf, deputy chief engineer of Arrow Electronics, said that each of the individual technologies used in the project is not a "new thing." The real innovation of Arrow is the way to integrate it.
From the performance of Schmidt, the project was successful. After training for a while on the simulator, he has successfully completed 25 laps and 75 miles of driving. Schmidt said that driving with his head feels very natural.
Arrow Electronics said it will continue to advance the research of the SAM project. Lu Sufu said that the research can be applied to families, workplaces and other occasions in the future, giving disabled people the ability to regain their freedom. However, some experts pointed out that the commercialization of the project will encounter many difficulties, including insufficient financial support and excessive price exceeding the purchasing power of consumers.
