Improving Industrial Efficiency Through Robotics Robots, becoming an increasingly prevalent adjunct (助手) in factories and industrial plants throughout the developed world, are programmed and engineered mechanical manipulators designed to perform industrial tasks without human intervention. Most of today’s robots are employed in the automotive industry, where they are programmed to take over such assembly line operations as welding (焊接) and spray painting (喷漆) automobile and truck bodies. They also load and unload hot, heavy metal forms used in machines casting auto and truck frames. In addition, they install bulbs in instrument panels. Robots, already taking over human tasks in the automotive field, are beginning to be seen, although to a lesser degree, in other industries as well. There they build electric motors, small appliances, pocket calculators, and even watches. The robots used in nuclear power plants handle the radioactive materials, sparing human personnel exposure to radiation. These are the robots responsible for the reduction in job-related injuries in this new industry. What makes a robot a robot and not just another kind of automatic machine? Robots differ from automatic machines in that after completion of one specific task, they can be reprogrammed by a computer to do another one. As an example, a robot doing spot welding one month can be reprogrammed and switched to spray painting the next. Automatic machines, on the other hand, are less versatile; they are built to perform only one task. Robots are more flexible and adaptable and usually more transportable than other machines. The next generation of robots will be able to see objects, will have a sense of touch, and will make critical decisions. Engineers skilled in microelectronics and computer technology are developing artificial vision for robots. With the ability to “see”, robots can identify and inspect one specific class of objects out of a stack of different kinds of materials. One robot vision system uses electronic digital cameras containing many rows of light-sensitive materials. When light from an object such as a machine part strikes the camera, the sensitive materials measure the intensity of light and convert the light rays into a range of numbers. The numbers are part of a gray-scale system in which brightness is measured in a range of values. One scale ranges from 0 to 15, and another from 0 to 255. The 0 is represented by black. The highest number is white. The numbers in between represent different shades of gray. The computer then makes the calculations and converts the numbers into a picture that shows an image of the object in question. It is not yet known whether robots will one day have vision as good as human vision. Technicians believe they will, but only after years of development. Engineers working on other advances are designing and experimenting with new types of articulated (有关节的) metal hands and fingers, giving robots a sense of touch. Other engineers are writing new programs allowing robots to make decisions such as whether to discard defective parts in finished products. To do this, the robot will also have to be capable of identifying those defective parts, then makes the calculations and converts the numbers into a picture that shows an image of the object in question. It is not yet known whether robots will one day have vision as good as human vision. Technicians believe they will, but only after years of development. These future robots, assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions, will have plenty of work to do. They can be used to prospect for (勘探) minerals on the ocean floor or in deep areas of mines too dangerous for humans to enter. They will work as gas station attendants, firefighters, housekeepers, and security personnel. The robot business will continue to grow also. Anyone wanting to understand the industry of the future will have to know about robotics. 1.Robots are a good choice for loading and unloading the auto and truck-casting metal forms because the work is boring. 2.Robots are suited to do assembly line tasks. 3.Robots are suitable for repetitive and dangerous jobs. 4.Automatic machines are not as versatile as robots are. 5.The next generation of robots will be able to distinguish all kinds of colors. 6.The gray-scale system helps robots to improve their sense of touch. 7.Technicians are optimistic about the future development of robots. 8.（ ） causes most injuries in nuclear power plants. 9.One robot vision system uses （ ）to “see”. 10.The color that number 100 represents is （ ）.

8结构推理Well have a brain road map. This is the real final frontier of the 21st century: the brain is the most complex system we know. It contains about 100 billion neurons(roughly the number of stars in the Milky Way), each connected to as many as 1,000 others. Early in the next century, we will use advanced forms of magnetic resonance imaging to produce detailed maps of the neurons in operation.
