In October 2020, Wang Ning, who sought medical attention due to severe pain, was found to have a 13-centimetre tumour on his cervical spine from C2 to C6. The doctor warned: even a sneeze could lead to high-level paralysis. After emergency surgery, Wang Ning was slowly recovering, but a few months later, another tumour of nearly 13 centimetres was found in his chest and waist. After the second surgery, Wang Ning felt as if his body had been “stripped of the underlying code,” losing feeling below his eyes. The doctor judged the recovery rate to be only one in a million. Faced with such a harsh reality, the couple resolved to fight against this destiny. His wife, “Xianggu” (香菇) bought a regular wheelchair and firmly told her husband, “Before this wheelchair breaks, you will definitely be able to stand up!”

Wang Ning (王宁), a participant in the ninth China International Import Expo, has turned his wheelchair into an intelligent robot that moves with his thoughts, after learning 3D printing, writing his own code and designing a brain-computer interface.

An AI agent provides mobility and voice services based on his emotions and schedule.

Wang told China News Network that as AI becomes part of his life, he is also in a “tug-of-war” with the pace of his leg muscle atrophy through hardware development.

With the wheelchair robot now in service, he has gained another “leg” that can run. (By Xue Lingqiao and Xiao Yudi)

他靠AI造出了脑控轮椅

9月4日，当33岁的深圳青年王宁(网名“肥牛”）头戴自研的“紧箍咒”式脑电头环，在龙岗有意思生活方式大会上用“意念”驱动轮椅驶向舞台中央时，台下掌声雷动。这位曾经的艺术教育创业者，经历两次肿瘤手术、从仅有眼球能动到重新站立，更与妻子（网名“香菇”）从零起步，跨界创业，研究出可落地的脑控轮椅技术，站上世界人工智能大会（WAIC）展台。

他们的科技创新故事要从6年前王宁一场突如其来的疾病说起。

AI成为夫妻俩的“人生外挂”

2020年10月，因剧痛就医的王宁被查出颈椎C2至C6长满13厘米肿瘤，医生警告：打个喷嚏就可能高位截瘫。紧急手术后的王宁在慢慢的恢复中，但几个月后，胸腰段再发现近13厘米肿瘤。二次术后，王宁感到身体像被“抽走底层代码”，眼睛以下失去知觉。医生判断，恢复概率仅有百万分之一。面对如此残酷的现实，夫妻两人决心与命运抗争。妻子“香菇”买了个普通轮椅，并对爱人坚定地说：“在这个轮椅用坏前，你一定能站起来。”

身体被禁锢，意识渴望突围。王宁则选择自己当“小白鼠”，从啃读论文到制作康复器材，一直在做积极的努力。

转机出现在2022年后，AI成为了他们夫妻的“人生外挂”。王宁将AI比作“时空密室”，借助AI，两个艺术生开始自学焊电路板、写算法。他们自研的EMA全身电极衣，通过AI动态调整电流，生产成本仅为海外同类产品市场售价的七分之一，并已申请专利。

转换思路

“搓”出脑控轮椅原型

真正的破局出现在今年4月。为专心做“脑控轮椅”，王宁和妻子报名小红书黑客松巅峰赛。在名校博士、成熟团队环伺的赛场上，他们自嘲是“草台班子”。起初的意念控灯因元器件烧毁失败，他们一咬牙，搬来自带电动轮椅改做脑控。

传统脑机接口依赖识别“意念”指令，信号弱、延迟高。陷入死局时，“香菇”提出改进思路：不“翻译”意念，而将脑电信号当数学处理，通过抓取不同功能区信号的稳定差值来定义指令。使用者只需想一个特定颜色，系统即识别为“前进”。这个“暴力”却有效的思路，让他们在48小时内“搓”出脑控轮椅原型，一举拿下硬件赛道一等奖。

遭受命运重击

从自救到助人

获奖不是终点。几个月迭代，这台轮椅不仅能直行转弯，还能操控机器狗、翻身床和智能家居。在WAIC现场，一位坐轮椅观众学习几分钟后，也成功用“意念”让轮椅移动。这验证了王宁的构想：脑机接口应成为让失能者重新连接世界的“天线”。

9月4日，王宁站上龙岗有意思生活方式大会舞台，分享《把不可能变成生活方式》。他笑称自己是“主动和AI融合的赛博人”，AI已成生活一部分，读论文、做产品，甚至叫外卖都依赖它。从卧床到拄拐、踉跄行走，再到站立演讲，他把“在康复”活成进行时。

如今，王宁和妻子计划将公司落在深圳龙岗。这里“All in AI”的产业政策和完整硬件上下游，让他觉得“想法能实实在在被‘打印’出来”。他还有个朴素心愿：今年定制五台脑控轮椅，免费送给最急需的病友。从自救到助人，这个曾被命运重击的年轻人，不仅为自己凿开光，也为更多的失能者打开一扇窗。

问及何时去掉网名“肥牛在康复”中的“在康复”，王宁想了想笑道：“等我成为9.5版的自己，就把这几个字拿掉。”这段路或许很长，但他一直在走。
