Researchers have develped a new sft rbt design that cnducts itself with three behaviurs at the same time: rlling (翻滚) frward. turning like a recrd and fllwing a path that ges arund a central pint. The equipment, which perates withut human r cmputer cntrl, hlds prmise fr develping sft rbts that can be used t AA-head and map unknwn envirnments.
The new sft rbts are called twisted ring-bts (扭曲环机器人) . They are made f smething like the ribbn (缎带) and then jined tgether at the end t frm a ring.
When the rbts are placed n a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is htter than the surrunding air, ne part f the ribbn tuching the surface becmes smaller, while ne part in the air des nt. This induces a rlling mvement: the warmer the surface, the faster the rbt rlls. “The ribbn rlls n its hrizntal axis (横轴) , giving the ring frward strength,” says Jie Yin, a prfessr f mechanical and aerspace engineering.
The twisted ring-bt als turns alng its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bt mves frward it travels in a path arund a central pint, basically mving in a large circle. Hwever, if the twisted ring-bt meets a bundary- like the wall f a bx-it will travel alng the bundary.
The twisted ring-bts are examples f equipment whse behaviur is gverned by physical intelligence, meaning their actins are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made f, rather than being directed by a cmputer r human.
“Sft rbtics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways t cntrl the mvement f sft rbts in a repeatable and engineered way mves the field frward. And advancing ur understanding f what is pssible is exciting.”
12. What makes the rbt rll faster and faster?
A. The shape and material.B. The higher surface temperature.
C. The ribbn.D. The central axis.
13. Hw des the authr intrduce the new sft rbts?
A. By quting experts’ pinins. B. By explaining the rbt’s wrking ways.
C. By making sme cmparisns. D. By ffering reasns and results.
14. What is Yin’s attitude twards twisted ring-bts?
A.Favurable. B.Unclear. C. Negative.D. Dubtful.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Twisted Rings and the Axis B. Ribbns and Their Rlling
C. Three Creative MvementsD. The New Sft Rbts
