终极未来――人形机器人阿西莫.docVIP

终极未来――人形机器人阿西莫一提到机器人,你的第一印象是什么?一个个冷冰冰的钢铁躯壳?总是毫无怨言地做着枯燥无味的工作?这是工业机器人的惯有形象。而Rico马上想到的是两年前出现在大荧幕上的机器人瓦力――虽然它没有人类的形态,说白了也就是四方铁盒子加探视镜和运输带还有铁钳子拼凑而成的小东西,但是它那双可爱的大眼睛却萌得无懈可击。如今,现实生活中也出现了一个憨态可掬的机器人明星――它就是人形机器人阿西莫(ASIMO)。如果你曾经在电视上或某些展会上一睹阿西莫的风采,相信你也会想要一个属于自己的阿西莫吧。CE: Teens在2007年9月号的“本期专题”介绍过机器人的发展概况。随着科技的发展,未来机器人无论是在外形上还是性能上都必将更胜一筹。也许某天,它们也能像瓦力那样,寻找一段属于自己的爱情哦。 What if we could wear bodysuits to give us super strength?

I believe that humanoid technologies will improve our lives in the 21st century. The world capital of human-like robots is Japan. Kuffner: Half of the industrial robots in the world are in Japan. Japan sees itself as a leader in robot and humanoid technology. The country even has a new kind of celebrity ? a humanoid robot named ASIMO. ASIMO is probably the world’s most famous humanoid right now. ASIMO: My creators have been at this for over 20 years. At first, we look[ed] like TV sets with legs; later, we looked more like humans.
