According to the Daily Mail on July 27th, researchers at the University of Oklahoma, USA, have introduced a third version of their own crawling promoter that can help babies with cerebral palsy risk to improve their crawling and other abilities.
The study was sponsored by the National Science Foundation's National Robotics Program for 4 to 8 months of babies, and the initial experiments achieved good results. The crawler booster features a three-wheel electric skateboard with machine learning algorithms and a range of sensors. When using, the baby needs to wear a hat with many electrodes. In this way, researchers can track the baby's brain activity on a 3D computer screen.
According to the Journal of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 12 motion sensors send measurements to nearby computers at a frequency of 15 times per second. In addition, the camera can display real-time conditions of the baby's limb movements.
Cerebral palsy infants lack muscle strength, posture retention and coordination. Therefore, when the baby crawls and explores the surrounding environment, the machine can predict the baby's intent to exercise and give them "pushing power" when appropriate. This driving force can speed up the ability of the baby to crawl and walk and promote their brain development.
The cerebral palsy is basically diagnosed when the baby is one year old, affecting the baby's athletic ability and muscle coordination ability. Many cerebral palsy patients can't crawl until they are 2 years old. The researchers said that early intervention can improve the situation. In addition, the device can promote brain development, improve infant spatial cognitive ability, problem solving ability and observation ability in the process of promoting crawling.
