Many of us are delighted to read fantastic books in which completely unthinkable technological solutions and developments appear before humanity. Either the smartest work, speaking on a par with a person, then flying cars, or the possibility of extending life for several decades.
If you read the news more often and follow the scientific world, you can be very surprised, because much of what was written by science fiction writers has long begun to come true. An ordinary person does not suspect that, for example, they are already trying to print donor organs on a 3D printer, and a concept of longevity is being developed. We are not talking about the extremely complex developments in the fields of physics, military industry and space exploration, where science is moving by leaps and bounds.
Hollywood blockbusters about the future world will not surprise you after reading this article. We present to you a dozen “fresh” inventions of the future that are really useful for the development of mankind.
10. Companion robots
We have already heard about the development of robots that perform medical operations or help coordinate industrial activities. Even robots that help with basic household chores somewhere in Japan have been proposed. But the ultra-modern Jimbo is no longer just a moving pile of metal with a speaker and indicators. He knows how not only to actively move, but also to dance, to be at the call of the owner and fully accompany the person. The robot also learned to express emotions, for example, to laugh, which takes our interaction with the machine to a whole new level. Already today, companion robots are ready for serial production and in the next years will be able to replace guide people with lonely and incapable people.
9. Sensors for portable diagnostics
Applications on phones and tablets, which allow you to calculate the calories of dishes, track the mileage traveled, and also help to maintain a healthy lifestyle, are becoming increasingly popular. But this is all grains of sand compared to the planned biosensor technology, which will be implanted in smartphones. Such aggregates will be able to give the exact number of calories in the food that we are going to eat. But that's not all! The main purpose of biosensors is to measure vital indicators of a person, such as oxygen level, pulse, pressure, etc. Using the biosensor, it will be possible to replace the EEG and ECG procedures, which will allow for self-diagnosis at home.
8. Supercomputer with artificial intelligence for the diagnosis of diseases
Continuing the topic of medicine and diagnosis, we present the invention of the future - a smart computer that allows you to diagnose a patient with minimal errors. Even the genius of Dr. House made mistakes, despite the most powerful team of professionals, and after all each rash thought can cost a person life. The Dr. Watson computer will quickly collect global information according to your symptoms, clinical presentation and analysis, giving you a preliminary diagnosis and even a prognosis of cure. The specialist, of course, will analyze the obtained computer information and issue a final diagnosis, but in this way the chance of a medical error will be reduced.
7. Dentistry without drilling
The dream of all adults and children is a trip to the dentist without fear of a drill, terrible sounds and painful sensations. Nanogel Brix 3000 will soften the enamel that is damaged by caries or other pathologies. By adjusting its layers, it is possible to achieve the removal of only dead and infected tissues, without affecting the healthy area of the teeth. After such softening, caries is quickly removed and you can proceed to filling. According to the data, the procedure is painless and greatly simplifies contact with the dentist.
6. A device that helps paralyzed people get back on their feet
One of the most important inventions of the future created in Lausanne. Scientists are improving the device, which will allow paralyzed patients to regain control of the immovable parts of the body. The device includes a pair of chips designed for implantation in the spinal cord and brain. After damage to the spine, as you know, the brain does not lose the ability to send commands to parts of the body, but the conductivity of the pulses is distorted. The device will allow you to read the central nervous system signals, transmit to the desired muscles, returning them to the ability to contract.
5. Adaptive wheels
Our cars will also receive a new-fashioned gadget, which will improve their operation. The market will introduce airless wheels equipped with an adaptive tread. Of course, the model maker is Michelin. He suggests replacing classic rubber with a strong porous material that is resistant to punctures and standard damage, and even does not require pumping. It is amazing that the material will be printed on a 3D printer, adjusting it to the road operated by a motorist and even weather conditions in the region. In this case, the wheel can not be changed, but only “shoe” special protectors.
4. Sneakers that help you move faster.
And again Adidas was ahead of time. The company released sports sneakers with an intermediate sole, which is again carried out using the notorious 3D printer. Such an element is individually customized according to a number of parameters: shock mitigation, shape, flexibility, size, etc. In the near future they plan to put this printing “machine” in the network of stores, which will allow producing really unique sneakers for the buyer, allowing you to move faster and with great comfort. In the meantime, the series has already gone on sale with soles designed according to the company, taking into account many years of experience working with clients.
3. Bio-refrigerators
I am glad that this time the Russian designer distinguished himself, who put forward the idea of a biological refrigerator. The essence of the concept is that the food is cooled with a biopolymer gel. The refrigerator will not have doors, chambers and shelves - just put food in an insulated gel. Such an invention will consume only 8% of the energy at home (the control panel will go to work), and the cooling itself takes place without energy consumption. The gel is not sticky, odorless, hypoallergenic, and can also be placed in any area of the home, even on the ceiling.
2. Glasses that allow you to see the blind
Amazing know-how that can change the lives of many people who have lost their eyesight. When a patient puts on such powerful glasses, the processor records a video of the environment and uses special algorithms to transmit it so that the brain can distinguish. The first thousand blind people have already been able to test the amazing unit and make sure the concept is useful.
1. Underwater transport tunnels
Moving underwater to cover distances is easy! Norwegian scientists decided to build the world's first underwater floating tunnel. It will be located at a depth of three tens of meters and will be a pipe with a large diameter that can accommodate two lanes of transport. 25 billion US dollars have already been invested in the project, and the construction is supposed to be completed by 2035. The developers are faced with urgent issues, because you will have to consider many factors: the density and pressure of water, the influence of stormy weather and strong currents on the structure, etc.
So in the 21st century, progress is steadily developing. A little more, and we will be able to contemplate the latest materials, devices, instruments and robotic equipment. After a couple of decades, some of the listed inventions will be able to afford and an ordinary person.
