So here, you're going to see some simulated robots.
這里,你們可以看到一些模擬機(jī)器人。
So the simulated robot has a motion rule, which is how it traverses through the structure, looking for a place to fit in,
模擬機(jī)器人有自己的運(yùn)動規(guī)則,指導(dǎo)它如何穿越結(jié)構(gòu)體,找到一個合適的地方,
and it has pattern rules where it looks at groups of blocks to decide whether to place a block.
同時它也有排布規(guī)則,它會查看組塊來決定是否放下一個方塊。
And with the right motion rules and the right pattern rules, we can actually get the robots to build whatever we want.
有了正確的運(yùn)動和樣式規(guī)則之后,我們就能讓機(jī)器人建造出我們想要的任何東西。
And of course, everybody wants their own tower.
當(dāng)然每個人都想要屬于自己的塔樓。
So once we have these rules, we can start to create the robot bodies that go with these rules.
一旦我們有了這些規(guī)則,我們就可以開始創(chuàng)造能遵守這些規(guī)則的機(jī)器人。
So here, you see a robot that can climb over blocks,
在這兒你們能看到可以爬上方塊的機(jī)器人,
but it can also lift and move these blocks and it can start to edit the very structure that it's on.
但它也可以舉起和移動這些方塊,可以編輯它所在的結(jié)構(gòu)體。
But with these rules, this is really only one kind of robot body that you could imagine.
但即便有了這些規(guī)則,這也僅僅只是你們能想到的機(jī)器人中的一種。
You could imagine many different kinds of robot bodies.
你們可以想象許多不同種類的機(jī)器人。
So if you think about robots that maybe could move sandbags and could help build levees,
如果你覺得機(jī)器人也許可以移動沙袋,并幫助建筑堤壩,
or we could think of robots that built out of soft materials and worked together to shore up a collapsed building
或者我們想象機(jī)器人可以用柔軟的材料造成共同支撐倒塌的建筑,
so just the same kind of rules in different kinds of bodies.
只是把同樣的規(guī)則用于不同種類的機(jī)器人。
Or if, like my group, you are completely obsessed with army ants,
或是像我的團(tuán)隊(duì)一樣,你完全著迷于行軍蟻,
then maybe one day we can make robots that can climb over literally anything including other members of their tribe,
那么也許有一天我們能讓機(jī)器人攀爬所有的東西,包括它們部落中的其它成員,
and self-assemble things out of their own bodies.
或者用它們自身自組裝一些東西。
Once you understand the rules, just many different kinds of robot visions become possible.
一旦你明白了這些規(guī)律,許多不同的機(jī)器人愿景都將成為可能。
