题目内容:
A popular restaurant in Tokyo is employing disabled people to work as waiting staff. But, instead of taking orders or clearing tables themselves, the staff of the Dawn ver. β café, whose name was inspired by a cartoon called Time of Eve, where robots and humans co-exist as equals, command a team of robots from their homes.
The remote-controlled OriHime-D robots (ODRs) were developed by Kentaro Ory Yoshifuji, CEO of the Ory Labs. The robots are 1.2 metres tall and have white faces that look like Japanese Noh masks. They send video and audio (音频) back to their controllers, and they are able to direct them from home by using a smartphone or tablet.
Five ODRs were used in the cafe,and they were controlled by a team of 10 people,with various health problems,such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Even people with very limited mobility are able to communicate with and control ODRs. Ory Labs has created a video showing how a man who is only able to move his eyes can still operate the robot, and another where a man in a hospital bed gets an OriHime-D to hand a cup of coffee to another person.
Yoshifuji has an impressive record as an inventor with an interest in using technology for good deeds. Between the ages of 10 and 14 he did not attend school due to poor health and went on to represent Japan in the 2005 Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), with a project designed to improve the mobility of wheelchairs. It was the years he spent missing out on school that led to the development of OriHime,which he sees as a way to help people overcome misfortune and disability to actively participate in society.
