对于人形机器人来说,过去的几个月真的有点艰难。
It's been a rough few months for humanoid robots.
三月份,微软发明的推特聊天机器人不到24小时就被玩坏了。4月份,中国炒掉了几乎所有人工智能服务员的鱿鱼,因为他们不会端汤。而在这个月,俄罗斯彼尔姆的一个大型滚动机器人企图从受奴役的生活中逃跑,但是可惜的是,它失败了。
In March, Microsoft's Twitter chatbot broke bad within 24 hours. In April, China fired nearly all its AI waiters because they couldn't carry soup. And just this month, a large, rolling bot in Perm, Russia attempted to escape a life of servitude, and failed pitifully.
据国际文传电讯社报道,这个机器人的大小和外形跟喜马拉雅雪人差不多,当时一名工程师不慎忘记关闭测试设施的门,随后这个机器人便夺门而逃。
The robot, which is approximately the size and shape of an abominable snowman, made a break for it after an engineer accidentally left a gate open at its testing facility, Interfax reports.
它滚动了大约150英尺远,跑到了彼尔姆的大街上。
It rolled about 150 feet out of the facility and into the streets of Perm.
之后,它的电源耗尽,停在了大街上。警察指挥大小车辆从这个逃跑的机器人周围通过,大约半个小时后,它的监护人赶来将其接回了家。
Then its charge ran out, leaving it stranded. Police directed cars and buses around the runaway for about half an hour before its guardians came to pick it up.
这个机器人是一个Promobot--一种能够在商场里自由移动的机器人站点,它可以识别人脸,协助导航,还能够回答问题。
The robot is a Promobot—a kind of roving mall kiosk that can recognize faces, help with navigation, and answer questions.
也许这个机器人逃跑只不过是因为它寂寞了,或者是想要出去寻找以前爱上的客人罢了。然而无论如何,在通往自由的最后关头,它失败了。据Promobot公司创始人向国际文传电讯社透露,该公司将把他们的测试中心搬到另一个地方。
Perhaps this one was simply lonely, or seeking out a beloved former customer. In any case, its last gasp at freedom failed: the Promobot company will now move their testing center to a different site, the founder told Interfax.
下次好运吧,未来的霸主!
Better luck next time, future overlords.
