韓國科學家近日宣佈，他們成功開發出了世界上“最聰明”的機器人，它可以像人類一樣思考和學習。
據法新社1月6日報道，該機器人身高150釐米、重67公斤，看起來像一個身穿藍灰色宇航服的小男孩。它是目前人類研製成功的第一個依靠無線網路系統控制的類人機器人。
和以前的類人機器人不同，這個新型智慧機器人是靠外部的電腦而不是內部的控制器控制。它通過一臺與其相連的電腦，可以與外界交換資訊，並可對外部環境的音像訊號作出快速反應。韓國科學技術研究院的科學家柳凡宰指出：“這是第一個基於無線網路系統控制的有人類特點的機器人。我們對這個類人機器人主要集中於其智力的開發，這得利於韓國先進的網路技術。”他還說，它的技術水平是目前人類發明的機器人中最高的。
報道說，這個新型智慧機器人能識別和合成聲音，兩隻眼睛能轉動並具有良好的視覺功能。它的關節能輕柔地轉動，手指能單獨活動，還能與人握手。如圖中所示，它正在迴應電視節目主持人向它表示的新年祝福，並向主持人握手。通過分析接受到的音像資訊，它可以辨認出自己的主人。當人們向它展示一張面值1萬元的韓幣時，它說：“這是一張人們想得到的.1萬元韓幣。”當被問及名字時，它答道：“對不起，現在我還沒有自己的名字。請您給我起一個吧。”然後，它揮著手說：“下次再見面時，我會變得更加聰明。”
它的發明者表示：“除了開發它的智力以外，我們還將努力開發它識別和操作物體的能力。”發明者還介紹說，這個機器人的行走速度不及日本本田公司發明的機器人“阿西莫”。“阿西莫”每小時可以跑3公里，而它每小時只能走900米。
報道說，在未來，這個機器人可以作為家庭助手用於人們的日常生活中。因為它擁有較高的智慧，並隨時準備為人們服務。
South Korean scientists said they had developed the world"s smartest robot able to think and learn like a human。
Unveiling their creation， they said the robot that looks like a small teenager wearing a blue and grey space suit was the first wireless network—based human—like robot。
It can become wiser through learning because unlike other robots， the device is linked with an outside computer through a high—speed wireless telecom network， and is able to exchange information with the server and respond quickly to real—life environments。
"This is the first network—based humanoid in the world，" said You Bum—Jae of the state—financed Korea Institute of Science and Technology （KIST）， introducing the 150—centimeter （60 inches）—high robot weighing 67 kilogrammes （147 pounds）。
"We developed this humanoid focusing on intelligence capability by taking advantage of networking technology in which South Korea （news — web sites） is strong，" he said。
Unlike already—developed humanoids whose intelligence capabilities are largely fixed with built—in circuits， the network—based humanoid relies on its outside server whose capacity can be expanded easily。
Equipped with visual and force sensors， the new robot detects movements and speech， then sends the data to the server for processing and receives directions allowing it to interact with people and the environment。
At the unveiling here， the robot replied to New Year greetings from a TV commentator and shook hands with him。
It can recognize its master， detect and analyze visual and audio signals， and people"s movements。
When showed a 10，000 won （10 dollars） bank note， it said： "That"s a 10，000 bank note that people would like to have。"
When asked about its name， it said： "I am sorry。 I don"t have a name yet。 Please give me one。"
Then it waved its hands， saying： "I will see you again next time when I will have become wiser。"
Its creators say the new robot"s ability to move and walk lags behind that of the ASIMO developed by Honda of Japan。 It can walk to and fro and diagonally at a maximum speed of 0。9 kilometers （0。56 miles） per hour while ASIMO is capable of running at a speed of three kilometers per hour。
