三、阅读理解
Are you troubled by housework, such as cleaning tables or tidying your room A new robot is here to help! Now the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists at Stanford University in the US becomes popular online.
In the videos, we can see the robot preparing dishes by itself, from cutting vegetables to cracking (打破) eggs. It’s also good at watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes.
Sounds good Well, another video may let some people down—Mobile Aloha isn’t good at doing housework on its own.
Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can’t work well without a human “teaching” it. So it may break dishes, bump into (撞上) things and even burn a pot.
四、强化训练
“The robot can successfully move chairs 80 per cent of the time,” said the team after they did more studies on it. “For cooking dishes, it’s only 40 per cent. In short, it’s far from perfect.”
In fact, AI robots are good at tasks such as solving maths problems or playing chess, but they will be in trouble when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. And it’s the same for Mobile Aloha. For example, if its body doesn’t move correctly, even just with a small deviation (偏差), its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.
“Robots are not ready to take over the world,” the team said.
四、强化训练
( ) 1. Where was the robot Mobile Aloha made
A. In China. B. In the UK. C. In Russia. D. In the USA.
( ) 2. What do we know about the robot Mobile Aloha
A. It is good at doing homework.
B. It can water the flowers.
C. It hardly learns from human actions before doing housework.
