About Boston Dynamics

關于波士頓動力

Boston Dynamics is an engineering company that specializes in building dynamic robots and software for human simulation. The company began as a spin-off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where National Academy of Engineering member Marc Raibert and his colleagues first developed robots that ran and maneuvered like animals. They founded the company in 1992, and their ground-breaking work continues to inspire several of the company's activities.

    波士頓動力是一個工程公司，專門開發運動機器人和人類模擬軟件。國家工程院成員Marc Raibert和他的同事在麻省理工學院首先開發出類似動物一樣跑跳的機器人。1992年，波士頓動力公司從此分離出來獨立經營，他們史無前例的工作繼續激勵著公司的一些活動。

DI-Guy is a human simulation product used for simulation-based training, UAV training, law-enforcement training, mission-planning and many other applications. DI-Guy has become the defacto standard for human simulation as used in military applications; it is used by leading organizations world-wide, including the all branches of the US Armed Forces. Digital Biomechanics is a physics-based human simulation product used to design and evaluate equipment used on the human body, such as backpacks, helmets, body armor and the like.

SquishBot - Advanced Chemistry Robot that Inches, Climbs and Deforms

SquishBot – 能緩慢爬行，攀爬和變形的化學機器人

SquishBot is a program to develop a new class of soft, shape-changing robot. The goal is to design systems that can transform themselves from hard to soft and from soft to hard, upon command. Another goal is to create systems that change their critical dimensions by large amounts, as much as 10x. Such robots will be like soft animals that can squeeze themselves through small openings and into tight places.

; d5 b, q" y: B0 s/ i0 \( J' k6 J    SquishBot是一個發展新型的“軟體可變形機器人”的計劃。目的是設計一種能夠根據指令，由軟到硬，又由硬到軟的改變自身形態的系統。另一個目的是創造一個可以大幅度改變自身關鍵尺寸（達10倍）的系統。這類機器人會像軟體動物一樣壓扁自己來通過小開口和進入狹小的空間。

The Boston Dynamics-lead team includes researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who specialize in novel materials and deformable structures. The program leverages MIT's previous work developing slug robots and Boston Dynamics' work on robots that crawl, walk and climb. SquishBot is funded by the Defense Sciences Office at DARPA as part of the ChemBot program.

    波士頓動力領導小組，包括麻省理工學院的材料專家和變形結構專家。這個項目綜合（leverage）了麻省理工學院開發蛞蝓機器人的工作和波士頓動力的爬行、行走、攀爬機器人的工作。SquishBot作為ChemBot項目的一部分，得到到防御遠景研究規劃局（DARPA）國防科學辦公室的資助。


注：ChemBot是美國iRobot公司研發出一款外形恐怖的化學機器人，ChemBot整體顛覆了機器人的傳統形象。ChemBot整體外形就像一個不規則的球，靠改變其外形進行移動。其設計過程中利用了“堵塞”原理，通過增加液體密度使液體變為固體狀態的物理過程。

都這么先進了哦！看來機電真不能分家哦

太變態了吧

最后那個機器人有多大啊

是成功

看起來不太大，那個格子是換氣通道百葉窗。

中國和人家差的太遠了，真是要加油了！
