【正文】 lable at under $. In the wake of recent anthrax scares, robots are increasingly used in postal sorting applications. Indeed, there is huge potential to mechanize the US postal service. Some 1,000 robots were installed last year to sort parcels and the US postal service has estimated that it has the potential to use up to 80,000 robots for sorting. 湖北理工學(xué)院 2021 屆畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)（論文）外文翻譯 11 Look around at the “robots” around us today: automated gas pumps, bank ATMs, selfservice checkout lanes – machines that are already replacing many service jobs. Fastforward another few decades. It doesn39。t require a great leap of faith to envision how advances in image processing, microprocessor speed and humansimulation could lead to the automation of most boring, lowintelligence, lowpaying jobs. Marshall Brain (yes, that39。s his name) founder of has written a couple of interesting essays about robotics in the future, well worth reading. He feels that it is quite plausible that over the next 40 years robots will displace most human jobs. According to Brain39。s projections, in his essay Robotic Nation, humanoid robots will be widely available by 2030. They will replace jobs currently filled by people for work such as fastfood service, housecleaning and retail sales. Unless ways are found to pensate for these lost jobs, Brain estimates that more than 50% of Americans could be unemployed by 2055 – replaced by robots. New robot applications abound As robot intelligence increases, and as sensors, actuators and operating mechanisms bee more sophisticated, other applications are now multiplying. There are now thousands of underwater robots, demolition robots and even robots used in longdistance surgery. Dozens of experimental searchandrescue robots scoured the wreckage of the World Trade Center39。s collapsed twin towers. Teams of robotics experts were at Ground Zero operating experimental robots to probe the rubble and locate bodies. During the war in Afghanistan, robots were being used by the US military as tools for bat. They were sent into caves, buildings or other dark areas ahead of troops to help prevent casualties. 湖北理工學(xué)院 2021 屆畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)（論文）外文翻譯 12 A giant walking robot is used to harvests forests, moving on six articulated legs, advancing forward and backward, sideways and diagonally. It can also turn in place and step over obstacles. At UC Berkeley, a tiny robot called Micromechanical Flying Insect has wings that flap with a rhythm and precision matched only by natural equivalents. The goal is to develop tiny, nimble devices that can, for example, surreptitiously spy on enemy troops, explore the surface of Mars or safely monitor dangerous chemical spills. Robotics – an exciting new development arena The typical Automation techie has knowledge and experience in instruments, PLCs, puters, displays, controls, sensors, valves, actuators, datatransmission, wireless, working, etc. These are exactly the key requirements for development of robots and robotic systems. During this time of economic recession, Robotics can surely be a new arena of exciting and rewarding business development. 湖北理工學(xué)院 2021 屆畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)（論文）外文翻譯 13
