科技范兒：看后浪解鎖未來

蘇璐

科技創(chuàng)新，就像撬動地球的杠桿，創(chuàng)造著種種奇跡。不過，科技創(chuàng)新并不總是科學(xué)家的事兒。很多科技發(fā)明都來自日常生活，又深深影響著我們。以下科技新發(fā)明、新創(chuàng)造，能否讓你眼前一亮呢？

華為“天才少年”打造“鋼鐵俠”機(jī)械臂

During the National Day holiday， a 16-minutevideo clip of a junior Huawei recruit creating "ironman's" robotic arm went viral on Chinese social mediaplatforms. Peng Zhihui， also known as "Zhihuijun" onChinese video-sharing platform Bilibili， posted thevideo showing the process and design of creating arobotic arm which he nicknames "Dummy". It can beremotely controlled using Huawei's 5G technology.According to Peng， "Dummy" is a 6-axis miniindustrialrobot arm with a total cost of only 10，000 yuan （$1，552）. The project has been the mostcomplicated project Peng has undertaken so far andtook him about four months to complete. The videoattracted more than 2.5 million views on and 10，000comments on Bilibili as of press time. Peng joinedHuawei in November 2020 through the Chinese techgiant's so-called "Geniuses" recruitment program asan AI algorithm engineer.

國慶期間，一段華為員工制作“鋼鐵俠”機(jī)械臂的視頻在社交平臺上瘋傳。機(jī)械臂制作者名為彭志輝，他在2020年11月通過華為的“天才少年”招聘計劃加入了華為，擔(dān)任人工智能算法工程師。在用賬號“稚暉君”發(fā)布的視頻中，他展示了機(jī)械臂Dummy的設(shè)計和制作過程。Dummy是一款六軸微型工業(yè)機(jī)械臂，總成本僅為10000元，是“稚暉君”到目前為止做過的最復(fù)雜的項目，花了大約四個月的時間才完成。

中國首家3D打印混凝土?xí)曷鋺羯虾?/p>

A concrete bookstore under construction inWisdom Bay innovation park in Shanghai will bethe first 3D-printed bookstore in China. He Yuting，responsible for this project， said the bookstore wasprinted on-site in three weeks. Compared with simpleworks such as a 3D-printed flower basin， the bookstoreis an innovative attempt in the architecture field， as the3D-printed architecture is cheaper than conventionalconstruction techniques and saves time. What makesthis bookstore so unique， is that "we used fiber concreteto resist compression，" He said， noting that the flooralso has a heating system. He said the 3D-printedbookstore is as safe as traditional concrete constructionbased on their experimental data in terms of structureand earthquake resistance.

埃及工程師利用機(jī)器人從空氣中提取水

An Egyptian engineer has invented a robot thatcan extract potable water by condensing humidity inthe air and turn it into drinking water using artificialintelligence. The engineer said he started to think aboutdeveloping this technology to absorb moisture in the airand turn it into water since 2013. He was inspired byNASA's flights to Mars. The weather on Mars is knownto be saturated with high levels of humidity， whileis very dry at the same time. He said the technologyof generating water from moisture is not new， butthe technologies available now are not capable ofoperating in difficult conditions. He said the devicecan be used in the desert and get power through solarpanels， thus， many cities in the desert can be reclaimedwithout high costs. The Egyptian engineer noted thatdesalinating sea water is very costly as each liter costsaround 20 U.S. cents， while the cost of generating aliter of water by his device costs only 1.5 cents.

一位埃及工程師發(fā)明了一個能提取飲用水的機(jī)器人，該機(jī)器人通過冷凝的方法從空氣中提取水，并使用人工智能技術(shù)將其轉(zhuǎn)化為飲用水。……
