South Korean engineer Paeng Min-wook decided to do something about this by adding a robotic “eyeball”. Paeng introduced, “People can wear it on their forehead (额头). It can look at what is in front of the users and alarm them if something is in their way.” Keep Your Calm When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This bear-like toy has 9 sensors (感应器). It has a quick “heartbeat” and can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows down. Through petting Purrble, you will become more aware of your own feelings and learn to calm yourselves. _____________________ Scientists have made a soft prosthetic (软体假皮) hand.
