National Geographic: Robotic Hands

传统深海勘探机械臂坚硬笨拙,极易损坏娇嫩脆弱的深海珊瑚。海洋生物学家 David Gruber 与哈佛机器人专家 Robert Wood 联手研发橡胶柔性仿生手,首次在红海深处成功捕获深海物种样本。

0.0s We're in the northern part of the Red Sea, and the reason we're here is we're trying 我们现在位于红海北部,我们来到这里的目的
7.36s to test out our squishy robot fingers for the first time in a reef. 是第一次在真实的珊瑚礁环境中测试我们的柔性仿生机器人手指。
15.44s So we tested these squishy fingers in a swimming pool, and now we wanted to put them to the 此前我们已经在游泳池中测试了这些柔性手指,现在我们想对其进行真正的实地检验。
19.84s true test. 真正的考验。
20.84s We wanted to try them underwater in one of the richest coral environments that we have. 我们希望在我们所拥有的最丰富多样的珊瑚生态深水区进行水下实测。
29.8s Squishy fingers are making a robot hand but making it out of rubber. 所谓柔性手指,就是制作一只机器人手,但通体采用橡胶材料制成。
34.64s The idea came up when I met David, and he showed me these fantastic videos of him going 这个想法是在我遇到大卫时萌生的,他向我展示了他操控水下机器人潜入深海的精彩视频,
40.56s underwater with his robots, but the hands that he was using were meant for oil exploration 但他当时使用的机械手原本是专为深海石油勘探设计的,
46.36s and so they were basically just destroying everything that they touched. 因此机械爪极其坚硬,基本上碰触到的所有娇嫩生物都会被捏碎摧毁。
58.56s So I said, you know what, we can make squishy fingers. 所以我对他说:你知道吗,我们完全可以打造出柔软舒适的橡胶柔性手指。
61.64s It's a nice grip, you know. 它的握持感非常轻柔温和。
65.24s I think this is going to work great. 我认为这项技术会发挥巨大作用。
84.6s This area here is one of the richest coral environments that we have. 这里的水域是全球珊瑚资源最为丰富的生态环境之一。
90.96s These squishy fingers do work well on land, but do they work well under the water? 这些柔性手指在陆地上表现优异,但在复杂的水下环境是否依然出色?
95.24s We're going to find out soon. 我们很快就能揭晓答案。
106.76s We can grab that and it will be interesting because it looks very fragile. 我们可以轻柔抓取那个样本,这很有趣,因为珊瑚看起来非常脆弱娇嫩。
133.32s From this we could do the entire genome, we could sequence out proteins, this is all we 通过采集到的样本,我们可以测序出完整基因组,分析特异性蛋白质,这就是我们所需要的一切。
137.44s need. 这一切实在太令人振奋了。
138.44s It's super exciting. 这让人无比激动。
139.44s I mean, we're basically in the first steps, but you could just see just the amount 我的意思是,我们目前还只是迈出了第一步,但你已经可以清楚看到
144.2s of potential that they have. 这项仿生技术蕴含的无限潜力。
