Shane Saunderson, a roboticist at the University of Toronto.

多伦多大学的机器人专家谢恩·桑德森表示。

And one that people who think about these whether they are philosophers or roboticists.

这也是哲学家和机器人学家都在思考的问题。

And that's why roboticists like them and are designing robots that imitate them.

而这也是机器人专家喜欢他们的原因，并模型它们来设计机器人的原因。

A roboticist at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory programmed a robot to save human proxies called " H-bots" from danger.

布里斯托机器人实验室的一名机器人专家给一个机器人编写程序，让它将名为 “H-bots” 的人类替身救出险境。

Some roboticists do, however, seek such perfection.

然而，一些机器人专家确实在寻求这种完美。

Some roboticists have turned a hobby into a business.

一些机器人专家已经将爱好变成了生意。

Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from botany.

Mazzolai 博士希望这样的项目能够激励其他机器人专家从植物学中汲取灵感。

While biologists are finding all kinds of new life, roboticists are creating machines that mimic life.

当生物学家正在寻找各种新生命时，机器人专家正在创造模仿生命的机器。

Now roboticists have actually been looking at this for a long time, and there was some research that was done on this.

现在， 机器人专家实际上已经关注这个问题很长时间了，并且对此进行了一些研究。

And yet, says Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist, the field of robotics has proved far less keen to investigate the other major category of living things—plants.

然而， 意大利机器人专家芭芭拉·马佐莱 (Barbara Mazzolai) 表示，机器人领域对研究另一大类生物——植物的兴趣并不大。

But anyway, these remain a tantalizing goal for roboticists that combine many computer science topics we’ve touched on over the last few episodes, like artificial intelligence, computer vision and natural language processing.

但无论如何，对于机器人专家来说，这些仍然是一个诱人的目标，它们结合了我们在过去几集中谈到的许多计算机科学主题，比如人工智能、计算机视觉和自然语言处理。
