回答题British scientists have been given£l million by the European Commission find out if a robot (机器人)can safely be employed to stir(搅拌)soup.
The research,based at the Bristol Robotics Lab(BRL),will look at the problems of a human and arobot working together in the same space;for example,in a kitchenwhere the service robot
isperforming a task such as stirring soup while you add cream.
Professor Chris Melhuish explmned,“When we work with other humans,we are trying to un derstandfacial expression,body movements,quality of voice,as well assharing a goal and under.
standingand following spoken instructions.”
“For example,in the soup situation,not only doesthe robot need to know what the goal is (makingthe soup)but he also needs to know how hard to stir the soup,what it means when
you holdup your band to say enough,to understandthe look of pain on your face if you acci.
dentallyget wet with hot soup,and to stopstirring when told.The researchaims to develop the rules weneed to introduce this level of cleverness into service robots who are workingclosely
withpeople.”
Professor Melhuish,of the BRL,said robotsworking in factories at present are kept behind gatesfor safety reasons——a measure thatis not practical in the kitchen.
The research is a joint effortbetween robotic engineers and scientists from West of England and Bristoluniversities.
According to Professor Melhuish,a service robot should be able to__________. A.understandhuman instructions
B.showfeelings by the looks on its face
C.followthe thoughts in its master's mind
D.expressitself through body movements
