Slim Down for Summer with That's Fit

我餓了!請餵我!



之前我們已經看過會說話(事實上是只能發母音,也就是舌頭、下顎可以動一動,但又不能產生有效氣阻塞的機器嘴;要產生定義上的子音,大部分要以舌頭來產生一定的氣阻塞、干擾,甚至還要包括鼻腔等部位的配合,據說這個東京大學的計畫還在努力中;對這方面有興趣的朋友可以參考一下語音學,雖然他是一門很無聊的科目...喔!超級離題!)的機器嘴,不過光會說,其實還不夠滿足生化機器人的主要需求 -- 生存!(一顆不會爆的電池不就夠了?)

要活就是要吃!由 Gaëlle Arvisenet 領軍的一個團隊,最近發表了上面這張可以咀嚼、流口水的機器口器;這個將在下一期的農業及食品化學期刊(Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry)上出現的機器,能夠模仿人類口腔消化的幾個關鍵步驟,包括咀嚼、分泌唾液、食物的初步分解等。

為了讓機器本身能夠達到更貼近人體的實際狀況,研究人員還不斷拿被人嚼過的蘋果跟被機器啃過的蘋果,來個相當仔細的分析,並且持續做出修正;目前他們已經能夠讓被咬過的蘋果,在顏色、氣味、表面成份變化方面跟在活體的狀況接近;很好!審判日不遠了!
