KellerRinaudo_2013-_基于智能手机的迷你机器人_
So just by a show of hands, how many of you all have a robot at home? 家里有机器人的观众请举下手～
Not very many of you. 嗯,不算太多。
Okay. And actually of those hands, if you don't include Roomba how many of you have a robot at home? 好。这些举手的观众中, 哪些人家里的机器人不是扫地机器人？
So a couple. 寥寥无几。
That's okay. 谢谢,可以放下来了。
That's the problem that we're trying to solve at Romotive -- that I and the other 20 nerds at Romotive are obsessed with solving. 这就是我们 Romotive 团队——我和另外20个怪才—— 想要解决的问题,而我们真的乐在其中。
nerds:n.书呆子;网虫;讨厌鬼(nerd的复数); obsessed:v.使痴迷;使迷恋;使着迷;(obsess的过去式和过去分词)
So we really want to build a robot that anyone can use, whether you're eight or 80. 我们的目标是造出来一种谁都用得了的机器人, 不管你是8岁还是80岁。
And as it turns out, that's a really hard problem, because you have to build a small, portable robot that's not only really affordable , but it has to be something that people actually want to take home and have around their kids. 我们发现,这确实是一个很难的问题, 因为这不仅要求你构造出来的机器人小巧、轻便, 成本控制在可接受的水平, 还要求你做出来的机器人 足够有趣,使得人们愿意把它们带回家,带给孩子。
portable:adj.便携式的;手提的;轻便的;n.便携机;(尤指)手提电脑; affordable:adj.负担得起的;

He should be friendly and cute. 他应该是很萌、很可爱的。
So meet Romo. 他就是 Romo。
Romo's a robot that uses a device you already know and love -- your iPhone -- as his brain. Romo 机器人使用你已经熟知并喜欢的设备—— 你的 iPhone —— 作为他的大脑。
device:n.装置;策略;图案;
And by leveraging the power of the iPhone's processor , we can create a robot that is wi-fi enabled and computer vision-capable for 150 bucks , which is about one percent of what these kinds of robots have cost in the past. 利用 iPhone 的处理器和传感器, 我们只花了大概150美元就做出来 一台带有WIFI和计算机视觉功能的机器人, 价格只有过去类似机器人的造价的百分之一。
leveraging:v.利用贷款进行投机;(leverage的现在分词) processor:n.[计]处理器;处理程序;加工者; wi-fi:abbr.无线保真技术(wirelessfidelity);无线上网技术; enabled:v.使得;授予…权力;(enabled是enable的过去式) bucks:n.元;雄鹿;(buck的复数)

I can actually connect him from any other iOS device. 我可以通过别的 iOS 设备来连接 Romo。
So here's the iPad. 比如这个 iPad。
And Romo will actually stream video to this device. Romo 可以将视频流转接到这台设备上。
So I can see everything that Romo sees, and I get a robot's-eye-view of the world. 所以现在我能看到 Romo 看到的一切, 通过机器人的视角看世界。
Now this is a free app on the App Store, so if any of you guys had this app on your phones, we could literally right now share control of the robot and play games together. 我们在 App Store 上放了一个免费 App, 如果你们在自己的手机上安装了这个 App 我们现在就可以一起控制这个机器人,还可以一起玩游戏。

But the most important thing about Romo is that we wanted to create something that was literally completely intuitive . 我们创造 Romo 最最重要的一个考虑 就是他的操作一定要非常非常的直观。

So those are a couple of the really cool things that Romo can do today. 所以,Romo 现在已经可以做一些很酷的事情了。
But I just want to finish by talking about something that we're working on in the future. 最后我想要分享一下我们未来的工作目标。
This is actually something that one of our engineers, Dom, built in a weekend. 这实际上是我们的工程师之一 Dom 在一个周末做出来的。
It's built on top of a Google open framework called Blockly. 它基于 Google 的一个称为 Blockly 的开源框架构建。
Google:谷歌;谷歌搜索引擎;
This allows you to drag and drop these blocks of semantic code and create any behavior for this robot you want. 它允许你以拖拽代码块的方式 创造出任何你想要的机器人的行为。
drag:v.拖曳;生拉硬拽;拖动;n.拖累;令人厌烦的人;累赘;绊脚石; semantic:adj.语义的;语义学的(等于semantical);
You do not have to know how to code to create a behavior for Romo. 你不需要知道如何针对 Romo 编程。
And you can actually simulate that behavior in the browser, which is what you see Romo doing on the left. 你要做的就是在浏览器中模拟你想要的行为, 就是现在 Romo 在屏幕左边做的那样。
simulate:vt.模仿;假装;冒充;adj.模仿的;假装的;
And then if you have something you like, you can download it onto your robot and execute it in real life, run the program in real life. 然后如果你想的话, 你可以把代码下载到你的机器人中,在真实环境中执行 在现实环境中运行程序。
execute:vt.实行;执行;处死;
And then if you have something you're proud of, you can share it with every other person who owns a robot in the world. 如果这些程序让你很自豪, 你可以向全世界所有有这款机器人的玩家分享你的代码。
So all of these wi-fi?enabled robots actually learn from each other. 所以,这种带WIFI连接的机器人实际上是可以相互学习的。
The reason we're so focused on building robots that everyone can train is that we think the most compelling use cases in personal robotics are personal. 我们尽最大努力做到让任何人都可以训练机器人,是因为 我们认为个人机器人最吸引人的地方就是个性化。
compelling:adj.引人入胜的; v.强迫; (compel的现在分词) personal:adj.个人的;身体的;亲自的;n.人事消息栏;人称代名词; robotics:n.机器人学;

manifestation:n.表现;显示;示威运动; imagination:n.想象;想象力;创造力;想象的事物;
So I wish that I could tell you what the future of personal robotics looks like. 我希望我能够向你描述未来的个人机器人会是什么样子。
To be honest, I have no idea . 但是老实说,我也不知道。
I have no idea:我没有头绪…;
But what we do know is that it isn't 10 years or 10 billion dollars or a large humanoid robot away. 但是我们知道这不会是那种很大的类人机器人, 或是需要花10年时间和100亿造出来的机器人。
humanoid:adj.像人的;n.类人动物;
The future of personal robotics is happening today, and it's going to depend on small, agile robots like Romo and the creativity of people like yourselves. 未来的个人机器人会顺着当前的研究方向发展, 即依赖于你自己的创造力,去操纵 像 Romo 这样小巧灵活的机器人。
agile:adj.敏捷的;机敏的;活泼的;
So we can't wait to get you all robots, and we can't wait to see what you build. 我们已经等不及让你们人手一个机器人, 等不及看到你们的想象力了。
