臺灣學(xué)生用樂高機(jī)器人對抗冠狀病毒

Students at an elementary school in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung have found their own unique way to fight the coronavirus and stay ahead of the curve in epidemic prevention – an automated disinfectant dispenser built from Lego.

在臺灣南部城市高雄的一所小學(xué)里，學(xué)生們找到了自己獨(dú)特的方式來對抗冠狀病毒，并在流行病預(yù)防領(lǐng)域保持領(lǐng)先——用樂高積木搭建的自動化消毒液分配器。

Children ranging from six to 12 years old use every school break and any chance they can get to line up to use their self-built alcohol disinfectant robot that some of their peers have assembled under the guidance of their robotics coach.

從6歲到12歲不等的孩子會利用每一次課間休息，只要有機(jī)會，他們就會排隊(duì)使用自制的酒精消毒機(jī)器人。他們的一些同齡人在機(jī)器人教練的指導(dǎo)下組裝了這個機(jī)器人。

“Washing hands is super,” shouts a recorded voice after the dispenser senses a pair of hands in front of its ultrasonic sensor and dispenses alcohol disinfectant from a spray bottle by pulling back its handle with a motor and gearwheel mechanism.

“洗手好棒的。”飲水機(jī)感應(yīng)到超聲波傳感器前的一雙手后，用馬達(dá)和齒輪機(jī)構(gòu)將手柄往后拉，從噴瓶中噴出酒精消毒劑，一個錄制好的聲音喊道。

Next to the robot, there are scenes crafted by the younger students showing various situations that require the washing of hands: an operating table in a hospital, a toilet and a flower garden.

在機(jī)器人旁邊，有由年輕學(xué)生制作的場景，展示了需要洗手的各種情況: 醫(yī)院的手術(shù)臺，廁所和花園。

One year after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011, teachers at the Linyuan Elementary School decided the students should learn about the basic principals of robotics.

2011年日本福島核災(zāi)難發(fā)生一年后，林園小學(xué)的老師決定學(xué)生們應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)器人技術(shù)的基本原理。

The school is situated in an industrial area, dominated by the petrochemical sector.

該學(xué)校位于一個工業(yè)區(qū)，由石化為主。

Teachers wanted to teach the children to be able to solve problems in their hometown in the future – such as fire, air pollution and gas explosions.

老師們希望教導(dǎo)孩子們將來能夠解決他們家鄉(xiāng)的問題，例如火災(zāi)、空氣污染和煤氣爆炸。

Since then, the school has represented Taiwan in many international competitions abroad and won several prizes with its robotics club.

從那時起，學(xué)校代表臺灣參加了許多國際競賽，并且通過其機(jī)器人俱樂部贏得了幾個獎項(xiàng)。
