1、Development of Industrial Technology,http:/,大连理工大学出版社,Unit 8,机 电 英 语,Contents,Part Passage A,工业机器人是一种具有人类某些特点的可编程的通用机械。机器人最具有人性化的特点是它的机械臂。,Industrial Robot,An industrial robot is a general-purposes, programmable machine possessing certain humanlike characteristics. The most typical humanlike charact
2、eristic of a robot is its arm.,Part Passage A,This arm, together with the robots capacity to be programmed, makes it ideally suited to a variety of production tasks, including machine loading, spot welding, spray painting, and assembly. The robot can be programmed to perform a sequence of mechanical
3、 motions, and it can repeat that moti- on sequence over and over until reprogrammed to perform some other jobs.,机器人的手臂连同它的可编程能力，使之特别适合完成多种生产任务，包括机械加料、点焊、喷漆和组装。通过控制编程，机器人能完成一系列的机械动作，并不断重复相同的动作顺序直到重新编程调整位置。,Industrial Robot,Part Passage A,An industrial robot shares many attributes in common with a num
4、erical control machine tool. The same type of NC technology used to operate machine tools is used to actuate the robots mechanical arm. The robot is a lighter, more portable piece of equipment than an NC machine tool.,工业用机器人和控制机床有许多共同的特性。启动机器人机械臂和操作机床所用的控制技术是一样的。和数控机床相比，机器人是一种重量更轻、更便于携带的设备，,Industri
5、al Robot,Part Passage A,The uses of the robot are more general, typically involving the handling of work parts. Also the programming of the robot is different from NC part programming. Traditionally, NC programming has been performed off-line with the machine commands being contained on a punched ta
6、pe.,其用途也更广泛，其典型应用是工件的处理。 此外，机器人编程与数控机床也不同。通常，数控编程是脱机完成的，指令载于穿孔带上，,Industrial Robot,Part Passage A,Robot programming has usually been accomplished on-line, with the instructions being retained in the robots electronic memory.,而机器人编程常常是联机完成的，指令存于机器人的电子存储器中。虽然有这些差别，但在电动驱动技术、反馈系统、计算机控制化趋势，甚至在某些工业应用方面，两者
7、之间有着明显的共同之处。,Industrial Robot,尽管存在这些差别,但在电力驱动技术反馈系统计算机控制化趋势,甚至在某些工业应用方面,两者之间有着明显的共同之处 in spite of:短语介词,表示“尽管,虽然” in terms of :就来说;terms:表达方式,措词,说法 例如:He referred to your work in terms of high praise. 他对你的工作高度赞扬,In spite of these differences, there are definite similarities between robots and NC mach
8、ines in terms of power drive technologies, feedback system, the trend toward computer control and even some of the industrial applications1.,Part Passage A,The popular concept of a robot has been fashioned by science fictions and movies such as “Star Wars”. These images end to exaggerate the robots
9、similarity to human anatomy and behavior. The human analogy has sometimes been a troublesome issue in industry. People tend to associate the future use of advanced robots in factories with high unemployment and the conquering of human beings by these machines.,星球大战之类科幻小说和电影促成了现今人们熟悉的有关机器人的概念。这些概念往往夸
10、大了机器人与人类在形体和行为方面的相似之处。在工业方面，机器人的这种人性化的比拟有时会引起麻烦。人们常常会把未来时代的工厂中使用的先进机器人与高失业率、机器人征服人类联系起来。,Industrial Robot,Part Passage A,Largely in response to this humanoid conception associated with robots, there have been attempts to develop definitions that reduce the humanlike impact. The Robot Institute of Am
11、erica has developed the following definition:,针对这种把机器人人性化的概念，人们一直在尝试给机器人重新下定义，以减弱其人性化的影响。美国机器人研究所对机器人定义如下：,Industrial Robot,Part Passage A,A robot is a programmable, multi-functional manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools, or special devices through variable programmed motions for the
12、performance of a variety of tasks.,“机器人是一种通过不同的程序动作来完成多种工作的可编程的多功能装置，其设计目的是用来搬运材料、处理零部件、工具或特殊装置。”,Industrial Robot,Part Passage A,Attempts have even been made to rename the robot. George Devol, one of the original inventors in robotics technology, called this patent application by the name “programm
13、ed article transfer”. For many years, the Ford Motor Company used the term “universal transfer device” instead of “robot”.,人们也一直在尝试给机器人重新命名。乔治迪罗尔是一位在机器人技术领域颇有独创性的发明家，他把自己的专利应用冠以“程序物体传送器”之名。多年来，福特汽车公司一直使用“通用传送装置”这一名称而不用“机器人”。,Industrial Robot,Part Passage A,现在看来，“机器人”这一名称连同人们所赋予它的人性化特点看来已经在语言中扎下牢牢的根基
14、。,Industrial Robot,如今看来,“机器人”这一名称连同人们所赋予它的人性化特点已经在语言中扎下牢牢的根基 together with 引出的短语在句中作状语,意思为“连同” 例如:The new facts, together with other evidence, prove the prisoners innocence.这些新的事实连同其他证据已证明在押者无罪,Today the term “robot” seems to have become entrenched in the language, together with whatever humanlike c
15、haracteristics people have attached to the device.2,Part Passage A,1. Whats an industrial robot according to the passage?,Exercises,. Answer the following questions according to the passage.,It is a general purposed, programmable machine with some humanlike characteristics.,2. What is the most typic
16、al humanlike characteristic of a robot?,Its arm.,3. In spite of the difference between robots and NC machine tools, how are they similar to each other?,They are similar in terms of power drive technology, feedback systems, etc.,Part Passage A,4. Why is the human analogy of a robot sometimes a troublesome issue in industry?,Exercises,. Answer the following questions according to the passage.,Because the p
