Pisa – A robot to regain the functionality of the penis, recovering sexual pleasure: a novelty also useful to those who want to change sex. In a few years, when the first robotic prosthetic penis will become reality, could be the future for those who hitherto resorted to the simple reconstruction through phalloplasty.
It is the goal to which they are working three doctoral students of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa, who this morning have shown their `Robot Penis’ to investors, the final day of the During High-tech business venturing, funded by the Tuscany Region and coordinated by the University of Pisa. Through the integration of a mechanism of erection, activated in a natural and capable of restoring a sense of sexual pleasure, the technology of robotic prostheses developing, according to its designers Sergio Tarantino, Andrea and Alessandro Cafarelli Diodato, “could prove dominant in the surgical field as early as next future. ”
‘ The tools provided by biorobotics – explain the three scholars – may allow the prosthesis to provide a system of movement and a system for accurate sensing. The objective is to make the operation of the prosthesis as close as possible compared to the natural organ. The ability to control the prosthesis by thought and nervous stimuli, ensuring the person who `indossa’ sexual pleasure, thanks to the system of sensing, make this system particularly innovative compared to current solutions.”
In the surgical reconstruction of the penis instead the patient recovers the perception of pleasure only in a limited way, and an erection occurs through manual control and not as in the case of `Robot Penis’, when there is sexual desire. The exploitation of innovative implementation principles, smart materials and elastic materials biocompatible, will allow the development of the prosthesis. The idea was born as a joke, is rooted in the experience of the Institute of Biorobotics in making robots with very high technological impact and prostheses such as those of the hand.
Now you need to go hunting for funding to implement the project: “We hope – underline Diodato, Caffarelli and Tarantino – to arrive in the next 12 months to a working prototype of the robotic prosthesis and within a few years the marketing the device. With our business idea, we aim to provide a therapeutic solution alternative to traditional plastic surgery is for patients who, due to a carcinoma, have suffered a penect Omia , both by those who embark on a journey to change sex. “
The` Robot Penis’ design idea of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa will be a implantable prosthesis made materials “soft” biocompatible and interfaced with the nervous system. The appearance is realized so as to be accepted by the patient and by the partner.
An erection will occur thanks to an innovative implementation mechanism, according to the measurement of physiological signals, that is, the muscles involved in the erection. The prosthesis is sensible thanks to sensors placed on the external surface. Is the provision that the type of sensors are specifically designed to optimize the return sensory. The information coming from the sensors, will be processed by a micro-controller. The algorithms process the signal and activating the pattern of stimulation through electrodes directly connected to the nervous system is recreated the feeling of sexual pleasure .
