　　2021考研英語(yǔ)雙語(yǔ)閱讀:機(jī)器寵物火星貓

　　At CES 2020, one of the more well-representedgadget categories was definitely consumer robots — but none was more adorable than MarsCat, a newrobo-pet from industrial robot startup ElephantRobotics.

　　在CES 2020消費(fèi)電子展上，消費(fèi)級(jí)機(jī)器人是一個(gè)更具代表性的小工具，但其中最可愛(ài)的當(dāng)屬“火星貓”，這是一款新的機(jī)器寵物，來(lái)自工業(yè)機(jī)器人初創(chuàng)公司——大象機(jī)器人公司。

　　This robot pet is a fully autonomous companionthat can respond to touch and voice — and evenplay with toys, and it's hard not to love the thingafter spending even just a brief amount of time with it.

　　這款機(jī)器人寵物是完全自主的伙伴，能對(duì)撫摸和語(yǔ)音指令做出反應(yīng)，甚至還能玩玩具。即使只和它待一小會(huì)兒，你也很難不喜歡上它。

　　MarsCat's pedigree is a bit unusual, since Elephant Robotics is focused on building what'sknown as "cobots", or industrial robots that are designed to work alongside humans in settingslike factories or assembly plants.

　　火星貓的“血統(tǒng)”有點(diǎn)不尋常，因?yàn)榇笙髾C(jī)器人公司主打產(chǎn)品是“合作機(jī)器人”，或者叫工業(yè)機(jī)器人，設(shè)計(jì)用途是在工廠或裝配車間等場(chǎng)所與人一起工作。

　　Elephant, which was founded in 2016, already produces three lines of these collaborativerobots and has sold them to client companies around the world, including in Korea, the U.S., Germany and more.

　　大象機(jī)器人公司成立于2016年，已經(jīng)有三條協(xié)作機(jī)器人的生產(chǎn)線，客戶遍布全球，包括韓國(guó)、美國(guó)、德國(guó)等國(guó)。

　　This new product is designed for the home, however, not the factory or the lab. MarsCat is thestartup's first consumer product, but it obviously benefits immensely from the company'sexpertise and experience in their industrial robotics business. With its highly articulated legs, tail and head, it can sit up, walk, play and watch your movements, all working autonomouslywithout any additional input required.

　　但這款新產(chǎn)品是家用的，而非在工廠或?qū)嶒?yàn)室使用的?；鹦秦埵窃摮鮿?chuàng)公司的第一款消費(fèi)品，但顯然從該公司的工業(yè)機(jī)器人方面的專業(yè)知識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)中受了很多影響。火星貓有高度靈活的腿、尾巴和頭，能坐立、行走、玩、看你的動(dòng)作，所有動(dòng)作都自主進(jìn)行，不需要額外輸入指令。

　　While MarsCat provides that kind of functionality out of the box, it's also customizable andprogrammable by the user. Inside, it's powered by a Raspberry Pi, and it ships with MarsCatSDK, which is an open software development library that allows you to fully control andprogram all of the robot's functions. This makes it an interesting gadget for STEM educationand research, too.

　　雖然火星貓開(kāi)箱即用，但用戶也可以定制和編程。內(nèi)部由樹(shù)莓派驅(qū)動(dòng)，還裝有MarsCat SDK(軟件開(kāi)發(fā)工具包)，這是一個(gè)開(kāi)源軟件開(kāi)發(fā)庫(kù)，你可以完全控制機(jī)器人的所有功能并進(jìn)行編程，也使它成為了很有趣的STEM教育和研究工具。
