I get asked a lot of questions.
我被問過很多問題。

would be looking more like us.
會跟我們長得很像。
that would simulate my eyes.
來為它們做眼睛。
enough to serve me ...
讓它們能靈活地丟棒球。
來執行它的功能,
of joints and actuators.

has a really nice throw --
breakfast per se.
by a new vision of future robotics:
有了新的構想:
new environment and task at hand.
how robots are designed.
in a polygon shape
多角形的機器人模組,
來變化成多種不同形狀,
for different tasks.
來建造多才多藝的新型機器人。
it's not any news --
most of the movies are made.
大量運用這項技術。
that's physically moving,
paper boat, paper crane?
platform for designers.
摺紙是一種變化多端的平台;
you can make multiple shapes,
you unfold and fold back again.
可以拆開來重新摺成別的東西。
from 2D surfaces by folding,
都可以用平面來摺疊成型,

and they do more than that.
能做的事情也更多。

through different terrains autonomously.
能根據地形來自主導航;
and flat land, it crawls.
of actuators that's on board.
it jumps over it.
in each of its legs
like a slingshot.
讓它像射彈弓一樣彈出去。

單一摺紙式機器人的能耐。
more complex tasks.
有的是被動式模組——
to create different shapes.
the folding joints,
藉由控制摺疊處的關節,
different tasks.
important is the assembly.

分散各處的情況下找到彼此,
the environment and task.
組合或分離。
of what you can achieve
to have a four-legged crawler
用四隻腳爬行的機器人,
and make small gaits.
make it do something else:
classical robotic task.
it can pick up an object.
to make the manipulator legs longer
讓機器手臂更長,
that are bigger or smaller,
one fixed shape nor task.
也沒有特定的功能,
anywhere, anytime.
of robogami is keeping them super thin,
of circuits, motors,
馬達、微控制器和感應器組成,
individual folding joints,

像那樣柔軟的動作。

各種獨特的環境裡,

應用於太空的環境,
one robot for one task.
you will encounter in space?
that can transform to do multi-tasks.
來執行各種工作的機器人平台——

已贊助了這個概念。
of reconfiguration of robogamis,
多種組態的畫面。

to bring interns up there, either.
to facilitate their experiments,
來幫他們進行實驗、
their third arm holding different tools.
變成太空人的第三隻手臂,
to control robogamis, for example,
控制艙外的摺紙式機器人?
that is holding space debris.
拿著太空殘骸。
so that you can control them,
就能控制機器人。

感受到太空艙外的物體,
the hands of the astronauts.
the sensation of touch.
重現標的物觸摸起來的感覺。
smallest haptic interface
just underneath your fingertip.
搭配肉眼可見的動作,
movements at the stage.
will you be able to feel
有多大、多圓,或線條狀,
just underneath his thumb,
with VR goggles and hand controllers,
虛擬實境眼鏡和手動控制器,

摸到毛衣的不同質地,
to be more personalized and adaptive,
更個人化和更有適應性,
of reconfigurable robotics
this invisible, intuitive interface
the characters from the movies.
電影中看到的機器人角色,
you want them to be.
它們就會變成那個樣子。

Why you should listen
As director and founder of Reconfigurable Robotics Lab (RRL), Jamie Paik taps a deep knowledge of fabrication and unique actuation solutions to create astonishing folding robots -- or, as she describes them: "robogamis. These self-morphing robotic origami transform their planar shapes to 2D or 3D by folding in predefined patterns and sequences, just like the paper art, origami.
Paik is an active promoter of soft robotics that combines multi-discipline engineering expertise. Her soft robots have commercial applications, including a robotic surgical tool and a haptic joystick that can render realistic force feedback beneath a user's fingertip.
