Forget boundaries, explore the abstract | Mattia Strocchi | TEDxYouth@Bologna


[Music]

first of all, good evening we will leave with

something different

three are the concepts I had to

redefine during my growth that

they have shaped my thought that

they changed what I called

ordinary and what we call

extraordinary you see these three concepts

I think they are very important and today

they will leave on a journey to explore them

the three errors and the boundaries are three stages

time remember these three words there

errors and time will be needed

I’m mattia strocchi I’m 19 and three years old

years ago I started a project that has

changed my way of seeing things

it’s not just a matter of seeing them

things in my opinion and for this reason

I would like to explain to you today I would like to introduce you

my project

everything started from a question you have

present when the professors say his

son, lady has big ones

potential but should learn to

focus more on the study

unfortunately I have a question that I have heard

often and I would like to ask you to ask

how many of you have ever heard this

this thing his son, lady has some

great potential but are unexpressed

he can not study

I have to hand over I heard

I hope not to be him I have seen

someone who raised his hand and this

question was one of my man focus

because unfortunately it happened often

came home my mother is unfortunately me

he said these words already heard

repeat a thousand times I did not know how

to face them there was a moment of the

my life in which I had many questions and

few answers

I think all teenagers

they’ve been hard enough

because you do not know how to get out of it

what I did was formed of the

other questions in my turn and had one

great passion for electronics

I wanted to understand

how it would end

the human machine interface where we will be

arrived

today the game is predominantly yes

plays on touch screens and buttons no

think about all the devices that

we are basically

controlled or from one by a touchscreen or

buttons but they are not always effective

as these methods for people who have

motor or disability problems

the same can not be used

systems because unfortunately I do not sell them

do not make them participate starting from

this problem

I wanted to find a solution

and this thing has jumped out with

electromyography electromyography a

medical examination that has existed for some time

it is used to analyze the activity

muscular and at the same time give us

information on the state of health of the

muscle the most advanced prostheses succeed

even through

electromyography to be controlled

this means in essence that I

I connect these electrodes to my muscle

it’s simply moving my body

I can check something then

Usually people ask me sorry

you’re saying that I move my body and

I can move something that I do this way

with the arm exposed by the table

no that is telekinesis is a thing

different moment exists in the cartons in

star trek in many series but it is not

what I’m talking about

once even better has happened

however, when someone arrived, he asked me

I understood what you want to do

sorry but you ‘ve become a jedi

you have no notion to the jedi with theirs

fantastic moves that they manage to

move people and raise them in the air

this nice teacher yoda

but no to a better goal you are

serene let’s try to do something useful

for the people

so it is blown out orion corian is a

rehabilitation exoskeleton the idea

fundamental is to bring the

rehabilitation at home of people and

at the same time do it actively

active means that the signal

muscle is used both to give

information on the state of health of the

muscle that at the same time for

improve the speed with which it is done

rehabilitation

the tutor and modifies his behavior

just based on this signal is

a simple idea but I could help many

people to do rehabilitation

the prototype is still undergoing

development

but what I wanted to show that

I felt my true goal as

student was able to make people understand that

these technologies are accessible to

all

there are exoskeleton systems that today

they cost up to 400 thousand euros 400 thousand euros

and are still research are figures

absolutely unaccountable sometimes

for research centers today with

I do not have his skeleton but I brought it

another thing that just speaks of

this innovation that starts from the bottom

it starts from the assumption that not everyone

have a lot of money to develop

of the hidden technology below is

a robotic hand and I can assure you

that moves what I wanted

prove is that this system here

assign one movement for each one

finger will make stupid moves st glimpse

coast and six-axis movement e

pressure sensor on the fingers

so one day you could too

restore touch to people and

still how to say a lot from it

to engineer but the demonstration of

this technology is that it is completely

accessible

this is an open source project vuol

to say that each of you here in the hall

can download and can do this thing

here something better can update the

project can modify it or download it

print it at home with the 3d printer

and you can object to me I do not have one

ok printer then it goes into a fab

lab and canvas print them you know what it is

the most important feature of

that object costs 40 euros

whole this euro and flying steering wheel

current prostheses of that level costs

around 40 thousand euros

let’s do things once

the ratio of buy one thousand to one thousand a

1 I do not know if we realize the

size

now let’s try to explain it better here

front we have sixteen columns there are 16

chairs in this row and rows of

this and the columns of this the lines

of this room that are the columns

of your doing are fifteen

if we do 15 for 19 how much is there

comes 285 thousand less 285 is 715 vuol

to say that every person here among you

could have one of these is

another 715 prostheses would remain

look a bit try to figure out how many

you are

they are series tried to look at you and think

that other 715 implants could be

have with in progress a single

available on the market now it seems

what’s not that powerful but let’s move on

I wanted to talk to you about something in today

more than just a project that is

what has been my drive since

from the beginning

there is a sentence by antoine de saint

exupery the author of the little prince

that I find has much meaning and says

if you want to build a boat do not gather

men to cut wood divide i

tasks and give orders but teaches

their nostalgia for the sea roster

infinite what it means means

that knowledge in life that

analytical and are very important but this

what’s more important to have a mind

open and willing to find out for this

he tells you three stories

the first speaks of luca and clear are two

guys I met in Iron Maker

during one of my travels for the

robotic hand and light skeleton is

He forced in a wheelchair from

birth unfortunately was born premature

Luca instead had a big brother and

he had a great passion for the

for engineering what he wanted to do

he was joining his passion and doing

something more has understood that his

exoskeleton project could

becoming a social utility could

be able to involve people

become something bigger to do

inclusive innovation dealing with

people not for people

there is a lot of difference remember to do

with people not for people but

besides this there is also another story

this story is very different and talks about

obstacles

take then this man was a

teacher at the carnegie mellon

university computer teacher has

46 years he was diagnosed with a

pancreatic cancer

when he was found unfortunately not

there was a lot of hope because of the visit

after the check they told him

randy to the 9 metastases and when to 9

metastasis you remain a few months from

to live there is no more you can not anymore

fight against cancer

he had a big problem

because he had children of 53 and a year

how to transmit moral values

he has such small children that he does not

may recall either of you has

done something great wrote

a book called the last lesson in

This book teaches us that dreams that

we want to reach those

from your childhood you actually do

they reach if we behave in the way

right and I think it’s one thing

absolutely incredible but also speaks

of another thing that is very thin

in his book of this thing the walls here

they exist for a reason, certainly not for

move away but to give us the chance

to show how much we really want

something this is something new

incredible because if you think about it

we are all facing each other

obstacles in life

sometimes we demoralize, I thought not

be able to do it

and so it happens to everyone there are not

weaknesses in putting this though

we have to perceive the obstacles like

something we need to measure ourselves for

improve to go further

now another question

let’s change speech some of you have ever

played volleyball

I have many people what is the word

excuse me that it is absolutely forbidden

in volleyball

someone knows how to scream it seems to me

someone said it’s yours, you do not

you can say yours in volleyball has

meaning this thing no

I think it’s an act of

extreme and powerful responsibility

your thing means that in good

substance tidei take yours

responsibility if he is the sole owner of the

your destiny

try to put me in this situation

you are at the match point of a match is

the last point that decrees the

victory

you are a team but the last ball is

I take a person and that person does

the difference between victory and having

lost you always play in team in the

life we ​​want it that we do not want it

but our responsibilities are those of the

single make the difference between vittorio

at this point the loss is there

you’ll be asking for excuse but these stories

what we are talking about because we have

talked about three different stories and yes

beautiful shape of what we are talking about

you have again the sentence of

antoine de saint exupéry that of the

little Prince

we do not want to take wood

for this of a boat

we want to find nostalgia for the

vast and infinite sea and these are the

our three stories why think about it

At the beginning I gave you a promise that

was to have three stages in ours

travel boundaries errors and time

and so we start from the first stage

the time randy pausch a man who is

managed to create unlimited time

starting from a finite time he took one

finished time and think about it has created a

I remember that it will last forever wrote

a book managed to give a

moral teaching to his children a

live with his family

he is a symbol of time there are

boundaries then the boundaries are luca is clear

no are not the borders are symbol of the

inexistence of the look and clear boundaries

because they have done a lot more than they are

managed to redefine the boundaries of

disability and spread their idea in

world of makers must be shared with

all

this means that every person in the

world can take the example of look and

clear and do what they did and

leave there to continue and

develop the project

then we have the last of our points

that the concept of error remains only

one thing you will have understood what the mistake is

that day yours

because there is none of ours

responsibility that can be delegated

to someone else

mistakes are committed in life

we all committed first

but the mistakes we need to do

better and we should never forget it

because these errors the ability to do

mistakes lead us to bigger things to what

huge that we would not expect either

with these three concepts

I would like to close my talk at the same

way we left because later

every border that we overcome is a new one

beginning

forgot the explored borders

the abstract thank you
