Very often it happens that at first glance a fantastic invention find embodiment in the real life. After all, who among us has not dreamed of a superhero costume? And maybe supervillain! For example, Eric Finman, 19-year-old millionaire who made a fortune on bitcoins, has created an exoskeleton very similar to the costume of Dr. Otto Octavius (Doctor Octopus) — one of the archenemies of spider-Man.
To start I would like to tell about the Eric Finman. When he was 12 years old, my grandmother gave Eric $ 1,000. But the boy has not spent the money on entertainment, and purchase bitcoins. Then, one bitcoin was worth around $ 10, and 12-year-old Eric bought 100 units of cryptocurrency. And the guy is not lost, because after 2 years, in 2014, the editors of TIME magazine named it one of the most influential people in the world among those under 18 years of age. Interesting was the attitude of parents to suddenly descended on the son as of: Eric agreed with them that if in adulthood he will become a millionaire, they will allow him to do what he wanted, and even allowed not to go to College. Now as a 19-year-old boy is estimated at 3.3 million dollars. And Eric himself is engaged in self-education and robotics.
And here starts our story: Eric has a 10-year-old friend Artis Tavern, a big fan of Marvel comics. It is for my friend Eric and created the exoskeleton with the possibilities of Doctor Octopus. The exoskeleton is equipped with 4 tentacles that are controlled by a microcontroller. The controls are in the hands of the media. In the movement of the feelers 8 lead motors. Parts Eric printed out on a 3D printer right at home and part bought in regular stores. At the moment, this suit is only a concept (and part of a cool costume for the exhibition Soms-SOP), but the Creator of manipulators believes that such devices have a great future. For example, in the mining industry or when working with hazardous materials. By the way, it is the latter, and was engaged in Otto Octavius for becoming the supervillain…
