研究人员正在研制更加智能化的机器人,帮助减轻人类的劳动。未来,机器人不仅可以承担清理下水道、调配鸡尾酒这样的家务劳动,还能承担侦查这样的特种任务。
劳工机器人 如果你是生产线上的一名工人,那你未来的同事有可能会是一台机器人。总部位于美国波士顿的公司Rethink Robotics公司已成功研发出一款新型的制造机器人Baxter。它能够与人类并肩工作,完成各种各样的重复性生产任务。这款机器人不需要借助任何高科技的编程;任何人都可以训练它,或者向它演示如何完成一项任务,比如装箱、组装产品等。这款机器人能够探测到人类的存在和活动,从而确保自身在人类身边的安全行动。 |
Factory Worker If you work on a manufacturing line, your future co-worker could be a robot. Boston-based Rethink Robotics has created Baxter, a new manufacturing robot that performs a variety of repetitive production tasks right next to people. The robot doesn't need high-tech programming; anyone can teach and show the robot how to do a job, such as packing boxes and assembling products. The robot can detect human presence and interference, which ensures its safety around people. |
