日本制造的机器人也会犯错误（双语）

 　　A Japanese humanoid robot interacted with visitors to Miraikan, Tokyo’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, on Wednesday.

　　周三，一个日本产人形机器人在东京国家新兴科学与创新博物馆——未来馆与观众见面。

　　Honda’s robot, Asimo, claimed to be one of the most advanced robots in the world, however it made some errors in its interactions. It couldn’t tell the difference between people raising their hands to ask questions and those aiming their smart phones to take photos.

　　本田汽车公司的机器人Asimo被宣称是世界上最先进的机器人，然而在未来馆与观众见面时却犯了错误。

　　The robot froze and repeated a programmed remark: who wants to ask Asimo a question? Asimo is able to decipher human silhouettes¹ and gestures and engage in autonomous² conversations.

　　这个机器人一直重复说一句编程化的语句：谁想问Asimo一个问题？Asimo能够辨认人类，破解人类动作并进行自主会话。

　　Asimo is connected wirelessly³ to six censors⁴ on the ceiling to discern where a crowd is gathering⁵. It has no voice recognition and responds only to written questions selected from a touch-panel device.

　　Asimo与6个位于天花板上的监视器无线连接，以识别人群聚集的位置。机器人本身并不具有语音识别功能，并且只能对从触屏面板装置中选出的书面问题作出回应。
