| According to foreign media reports, nowadays, people are no longer surprised by the birth of the new handgun, but most of them are designed to enhance the strength or ability of the wearer's body parts. Now, a section called Antwerp Executable nodes (hereinafter ASLAN) manipulator will break this practice, specifically for the hearing impaired and the deaf group to create.  In short, this is a sign language 3D printing robot. After three years of research and development, robots built by engineering students from the University of Antwerp in Belgium are able to make various alphabetic gestures and a large number of basic sign language. The first prototype of ASLAN was assembled from 25 3D printed components, 16 servo motors, 3 electric controllers and an Arduino assembly, which took about 10 hours to complete, and the team wanted to emphasize its accessibility to people In the future, they plan to open it up. Team members said their ultimate goal is not to create a robot capable of displacing translations, as single robots can not accomplish complex sign language and usually require two hands to complete them, but such tools are used in places like courts, classrooms, etc. It is priceless because sign language interpreters are not usually available in those places. |
