中科大推出首个美女机器人:太逼真了!

An ultra-realistic robot was unveiled last week byresearchers from the University of Science andTechnology in China (USTC).

上周，由中国科技大学研究人员开发的高仿真机器人正式揭开面纱。

Jia Jia, as the female robot has been named, isapparently capable of basic communication,interaction with nearby people, and natural facialexpressions. Unfortunately, many of her pre-programmed interactions appear to be highlystereotypical.

这一女性机器人被命名为佳佳，具备基本沟通能力，可以和周边的人交流互动，并且有很自然的面部表情。然而不幸地是，她很多的预编互动都似乎带有成见。

For example, if Jia Jia detects that someone is taking a photo of her, she'll warn thephotographer to stand back or else the picture will make her face "look fat." Jia Jia can't domuch beyond that though. Essential human emotional responses like laughing and crying arenot in the robot's repertoire. Her hands have also been left lifeless. She does, however, speaksuper subserviently. The prompt, "Hello," elicits the reply, "Yes my lord. What can I do foryou?"

比如，如果佳佳发现有人在给她拍照片，她会警告拍照者站远点儿拍，否则会让她的脸看起来很胖。不过，佳佳没办法做更多事情，像大笑以及哭泣这些反应她都还没有。她的双手也显得比较死板。不过，她可以非常恭顺地说话，如果你说，"你好"，她一定会回复，"在，主人，我能为你做什么呢?"

We've seen a few other ultra-realistic female robots recently. A few weeks ago a 42-year-oldproduct and graphic designer from Hong Kong revealed "Mark 1," a $50,000 female robot. Theproject, which took a year and a half to complete, was supposedly the fulfillment of achildhood dream.

最近，我们看到了多款仿真女机器人。几星期前，一名来自香港的42岁产品及平面设计师推出了一款名为"Mark 1"的价值5万美元的女性机器人。这个项目花了设计师一年半的时间，主要是为了完成其童年的梦想。

Like Jia Jia, Mark 1 is capable of basic human-like interaction, command responses, andmovement. Mark 1 actually outperforms Jia Jia in that the former can move its limbs, turn itshead, bow, smirk, and wink.

和佳佳类似，Mark 1也能做到基本的类人似交流，回应命令和动作。Mark 1比佳佳更棒的是，她可以活动四肢，转头，弯腰，微笑以及眨眼。

And that's just the most recent example. Last year researchers at the Intelligent RoboticsLaboratory at Osaka University in Japan and Shanghai Shenqing Industry in China revealedYangyang, a dynamic robot with an resemblance to Sarah Palin. Yangyang also seems to domore than Jia Jia with its abilities to hug and shake hands.

这只是近期的例子，去年，上海申磬产业有限公司与大阪大学的研发人员合作，在中国推出了阳杨--一个很像萨拉·佩林的机器人，看起来也比佳佳更智能，她可以拥抱和握手。

The USTC researchers spent three years developing Jia Jia, and they aren't done yet. Teamdirector Chen Xiaoping says he hopes to develop and refine their creation, equipping it withartificial intelligence through deep learning and the ability to recognize people's facialexpressions, according to Xinhua News. Chen hopes Jia Jia will become an intelligence "robotgoddess." He added that the prototype was "priceless" and would not yet consider massproduction.

中国科技大学的研究人员花费了3年时间开发佳佳，而且他们还没有完工。根据新华社报道，团队领导陈小平表示，希望能够发展和完善他的发明，并进一步搭载有深入学习以及辨认面部表情能力的人工智能。陈小平希望佳佳能变成智慧的"机器人女神"，他还补充说道，此原型是无价的，暂时不会量产。
