A revolution in robotics is upon us, as machines?take over more duties long performed by?humans. It’s changing how we live.

機(jī)器人技術(shù)的革命正在向我們襲來，因?yàn)闄C(jī)器將著手更多由人類長(zhǎng)期承擔(dān)的職責(zé)。它正在改變我們的生活方式。

With a firm yet delicate grip, a robot hand at the Robotics and Biology Laboratory at the Technical University of Berlin picks up a flower with its pneumatic fingers. Recent advances have brought robots closer than ever to mimicking human abilities.

柏林技術(shù)大學(xué)機(jī)器人與生物實(shí)驗(yàn)室的一只機(jī)器人手用它的氣動(dòng)手指握住一朵花，握住的姿態(tài)既牢固又美觀。最近的進(jìn)步使機(jī)器人比以往任何時(shí)候都更接近模仿人類的能力。

詞匯

?Pneumatic/氣動(dòng)的；充氣的

Some roboticists create machines that imitate humans in detail—like Harmony, an expressive talking head that attaches to a silicone and steel sex doll made by Abyss Creations in San Marcos, California. Others believe people are more comfortable around robots that look like Curi (left) from the Socially Intelligent Machines Lab at Georgia Tech. If a robot seems too much like a human, they say, people’s acceptance can plummet into “the uncanny valley,” Masahiro Mori’s term for our feelings when a robot seems less like an enhanced machine and more like a disturbingly diminished human—or a corpse.

一些機(jī)器人專家創(chuàng)造出了能細(xì)致模仿人類的機(jī)器——比如“哈莫尼（和睦）”，這是一個(gè)表情豐富的會(huì)說話的頭，連接到加利福尼亞圣馬科斯深淵公司制造的硅膠和鋼質(zhì)的杏艾娃娃上。

但是其他人對(duì)于身處Curi這類機(jī)器人【上方那個(gè)圖】身旁能覺得更安心點(diǎn)。這是一只來自喬治亞理工大學(xué)社會(huì)實(shí)驗(yàn)室的機(jī)器人。森井弘提出了“恐怖谷”這一術(shù)語(yǔ)；如果一個(gè)機(jī)器人看起來太像人類，那么人們對(duì)于機(jī)器人的接受程度會(huì)驟降到“恐怖谷”；根據(jù)他的說法，對(duì)于此類機(jī)器人，我們并不會(huì)覺得像一個(gè)加強(qiáng)版的機(jī)器，而是更覺得像一個(gè)令人感到不安的縮減版的人類；或者干脆覺得像一具尸體

詞匯

Plummet/陡直落下，快速落下

Masahiro Mori/上世紀(jì) 70 年代，日本的機(jī)器人專家森井弘(Masahiro Mori)提出一種“恐怖谷”理論(Uncanny Valley)。他認(rèn)為，人們會(huì)對(duì)相似于自己的物體產(chǎn)生好感，和自己越像，這種好感就會(huì)越強(qiáng)。

New technology lets robots cope with the constant change and irregular shapes that humans encounter at work. Foodly, a collaborative robot (cobot) developed by RT Corporation, uses advanced vision, algorithms, and a grasping hand to place pieces of chicken in a bento box.

新技術(shù)讓機(jī)器人能夠應(yīng)對(duì)人類在工作中遇到的不斷變化和不規(guī)則形狀。RT公司開發(fā)的協(xié)作機(jī)器人Foodly利用先進(jìn)的視覺、算法和一只抓握的手將雞肉放入便當(dāng)盒中。

詞匯

bento box/便當(dāng)盒
