The flexibility and mobility were reduced to the extreme, losing the original swift speed, and then, under the premise of maintaining the support system, the power was applied to several mechanical fixed transport actions...
But no matter how much you argue, it can't change the fact that this damn thing is an exoskeleton!
Just like that armored off-road vehicle masquerading as a pickup we just saw, even the most basic exoskeleton is still an exoskeleton!
This is a blatant military-to-civilian transfer, transformed beyond recognition, yet fundamentally the same! Moreover, it seems to have copied the style of Echo Technology model!
"Speak up, what are you all staring for!"
He raised his eyes to look at all the attendees: "Can't we sue them?"
"...Uh, well, this..."
The engineer hesitated: "Generally speaking, the structure of the exoskeleton is pretty much the same four or five types, the details may differ, but in essence, they're largely similar. Patent law cannot hold such basic structural similarities accountable."
Moreover, even if we could pursue legal action, we shouldn't!
If such a lawsuit succeeded, many enterprises in the Federation would be on edge. Over the years, everyone has been copying each other, never-ending, accumulating numerous micro-innovations.
You can sue others, but others can also come after you!
You mean you don't do knock-offs? You mean you don't draw inspiration from competitors?
The most critical point is, if you want to accuse them of plagiarism and patent infringement, you must first admit they copied you...
With Ji Jue's makeshift configuration so different, even if Echo Technology or Huan Yu Heavy Industry's lawyers show up, they'd curse: What the hell is this, don't ride our coattails!
Even if the plagiarism is established, it's yourself who suffers the insult—let me ask you: how come someone copied you and created such a thing, doesn't that suggest there might be some issue with your designs?
Besides, Ji Jue hasn't even directly sold anything.
From the start to finish, this was a Coastal Automobile Factory giveaway you purchased. It's like how in some mobile games, after buying useless avatar frames and little items, you get some game coins that coincidentally are usable for card draws...
Maximally avoiding risks, always intending to play on the edge!
Now, in the livestream screen, Ji Jue has started explaining the design concept of [Chili], and also, potential extended models to be launched in the future.
In the dazed expressions of competitors, it entered the phase everyone is most accustomed to: selling ideas.
A total of three different configurations: large, medium, and small.
In addition to the medium-sized assistance loading system given away, still in testing phase are those specially designed to transport large weights and enhance the flexibility of a large assistance loading system.
Larger and more exaggerated than the medium-sized ones, encapsulating the entire person, with the ability to coordinate multiple systems, crafted specifically for industrial production, effectively addressing risks faced by frontline workers when handling large equipment and heavy materials.
As for the small version, it completely eliminates the fuel element, adopting battery functionality and motor-assisted power, even more basic than the medium version, stripping any weight carrying and transport capability, achieving barely satisfactory flexibility.
And the specific demonstration session was assigned to...
Yan Jian in the wheelchair!
Thus, in the eyes of all, Yan Jian, still nursing fractures and in casts, was lifted onto stage, and with others' assistance put on simple foot locks, was fitted with an ultra-light exoskeleton weighing less than ten kilograms.
Easy and relaxed installation completed, power supply initiated, straps contracted, and artificial muscle wrapped externally, supporting him to rise from the wheelchair.
Right before everyone's eyes!
In that instant, in solemn silence, there was an enlightened sigh.
"This is the offering I want to bring to everyone at this launch event."
Ji Jue slowly said: "Unlike the medium and large assistance systems, it adopts a unique design and concept, as well as a completely different application scenario and user base.
Presumably, everyone has already noticed its purpose: prosthetics."
Based on the leg prosthesis specially made for Little An, it was further equipped with a transmission spine and added a power system, designing a modular dual-arm structure that can be freely configured.
The purest force feedback drive—if you can still move, then you can move normally.
Even bedridden weak patients or those with limb deficiencies can infinitely approach normal human activities.
Even though charging is required, even though there are still many inconveniences, it allows brief moments of escape from the sickbed or wheelchair, to bathe in sunlight like everyone else.
Freely walking.
"New models and products need to undergo market testing and practical use to better address shortcomings and service users, therefore, the auxiliary-driven prosthesis will not be sold anytime soon."
Ji Jue slowly said: "To facilitate more disabled individuals with mobility challenges, to bring help to more who need it, we will cooperate with Chongguang Church, Cliff City Veterans' Club, and Hai Province Disabled Persons' Association to open application channels, starting today, we open testing application slots.
An estimated three thousand participants, all involved in the test will, upon the end of three months of testing and production, receive an unconditional replacement eligibility for a new official version, and thereafter enjoy free maintenance and on-site repair.
