Cyber technologies are developing at an insane pace. In Japan, a tail has been created that functions exactly like monkeys and seahorses. It will help a person keep balance. This is intended to help people who have problems with the musculoskeletal system.
Tail making
Mechanical arms and legs have long been created. By the way, Japan was also their creator. Technology has gone even further - a tail has been designed that can help maintain balance. It will facilitate movement. Based on the tail of a seahorse.
purpose
The developers plan that the tail will help older people who cannot move normally and keep their balance due to any problems. Also, the tail will help move heavy objects, it will be useful in jumping.
Design
The tail is able to be adjusted in height, weight and width to fit the body of any person. The design has artificial muscles that, using compressed air, make the tail move in the right direction.
Each vertebra is separately adjustable and is removable. Thanks to this, the tail can be used by people with different stature.
The developers hope that soon they will be able to achieve maximum tail functionality. Also in the plans to introduce the tail into a virtual reality environment. So far, jumping from tree to tree with this device will not work, but Japanese developers have once again proved that everything is possible! After all, science does not stand still.
It is not yet known when the tail will go into mass production. Given the fact that such a technique is quite expensive, it is not worth expecting that this device will be available to everyone (at a price) in the next 10 years. But, as practice with mechanical arms and legs shows, sooner or later, such technologies will be available to us.
