關(guān)閉第七問:硅谷有個(gè)神秘的生存研究中心?
導(dǎo)語:
感謝大家訂閱皮埃羅·斯加魯菲(Piero Scaruffi)的鈦媒體72問.知識(shí)專欄《硅谷的秘密》。我是今天的提問者趙何娟。上節(jié)課,皮埃羅先生講到了機(jī)器人最早是為底特律發(fā)明的,卻在硅谷突然變得異常強(qiáng)大,硅谷喜歡機(jī)器人,機(jī)器人的酷愛文化無處不在,并且提到了 一個(gè)特殊的組織名字“生存研究中心”。這個(gè)組織是干嘛的呢?這一課皮埃羅就來講了講這個(gè)新奇的生存研究中心。
皮埃羅:
I don’t know how to call them. Artists? Engineers? I don’t know. They liked to build machines, robots basically that were performing for the public. So it was a show, it was a show with these machines were typically would make a lot of noise, collide, explode, burn. By the way the idea of Burning Man, these machines were burning, and the early Burning Man festival, most of the machines were made by people who were at the Survival Research Labs. So this was happening and this was very popular in San Francisco. Because there were a lot in those buildings in those days in the seventies and eighties there were a lot of empty buildings in San Francisco.
我也不知道如何稱呼這個(gè)研究所,他們算是藝術(shù)家?還是工程師?他們喜歡設(shè)計(jì)能夠?yàn)楣姺?wù)的機(jī)器人,他們制作的機(jī)器有的可以嚇跑鳥類。這個(gè)想法叫做Burning Man。早期的火人節(jié)機(jī)器人就是有這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)室完成的。舊金山一度很流行火人節(jié),因?yàn)樵?0,80年代,舊金山還有很多的空房子。
It was not a rich city, it was poor. So they were trying to become something else all these empty buildings. Young people were organizing rock music, crazy parties and this kind of shows with machines, colliding and destroying and making a lot of noise. These people actually kept robotics a live now there are people now who one is Ken Goldberg the UC Berkeley were attending and contributing to the Survivor Research Labs shows.
那時(shí)候,舊金山不是發(fā)達(dá)城市,還只是一個(gè)港口。舊金山的年輕人會(huì)在空房子里面開搖滾派對(duì),把機(jī)器人帶到空房子里,制造噪音。實(shí)際上,就是這些年輕人在做機(jī)器人,所以舊金山的機(jī)器人技術(shù)才沒有消失。其中比較著名的Ken Goldberg來自加州大學(xué)柏克萊分校,他為生存研究所做了很多的工作。
So actually if you just look at the science you see robotics a deserter nothing for twenty years and the robotics again but if you consider the whole of society it should there always was something there and guess what they are very creative they were not trying to make a protease it there was no venture capital it was no government it was just a bunch of kids having fun.
如果你只觀察硅谷那20年間所做出的機(jī)器人技術(shù),你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)硅谷在機(jī)器人領(lǐng)域并沒有什么成就。但是在此期間,硅谷的社會(huì)卻喜歡玩機(jī)器人。所以說硅谷文化很特別。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),硅谷的人都很有創(chuàng)意。他們做出了機(jī)器人,卻沒有想把它當(dāng)作是商品去銷售。當(dāng)時(shí)還沒有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資,也沒有政府扶持,他們只是一群想要玩機(jī)器人的孩子。
That's one of the stories I can tell you. When you have art and technology and science getting together you don't get a great product but you get a lot of creativity and so I feel that creativity is very important it's difficult to measure it is difficult if you ask me, okay how much did the Survivor Research Labs contribute to the GDP of the bay area? Probably zero. There’s no money comes out of that. How much it contributed to the creativity of the place? Probably a lot, and that creativity eventually became robotic companies and who knows?
這是我想要說的科學(xué)與藝術(shù)相結(jié)合的故事。你不會(huì)想要做出一件商品,但在這個(gè)過程當(dāng)中你會(huì)創(chuàng)造出新的東西。所以我覺得創(chuàng)造性很重要,你很難量化創(chuàng)造性。我也說不準(zhǔn)生存研究所到底為硅谷的GDP做出了多少貢獻(xiàn)。這不是金錢的問題。如果你要問生存研究所為硅谷的創(chuàng)造性做出了什么貢獻(xiàn),我可以說有很大的貢獻(xiàn),他們給后人的啟發(fā),最終成就了現(xiàn)在的機(jī)器人公司。
By the way today there are still a lot of independent robot builders still a lot. And I invite them to speak at the lasers I invited them to exhibit at the last festival at the not his very last one but the previews last festival we had a robot that shake hands and it was built by an independent ,not by big company we had the robotic makes bubbles in a soap bubbles. The children of course loved them, and there was built by an independent . So actually we still have probably hundreds of people who build robots in their garage that's the real Silicon Valley. Probably ninety nine percent of them would fail I mean fail they will have a lot of fun not fail but they would not make money but maybe one of them right now is building the robbers of the future or is coming up with idea for the robotics.
現(xiàn)在硅谷還有很多獨(dú)立的機(jī)器人發(fā)明家。我邀請(qǐng)過他們到LASER發(fā)言,也邀請(qǐng)過他們?nèi)⒓悠渌幕顒?dòng)。在上次活動(dòng),我們請(qǐng)到了一個(gè)會(huì)握手的機(jī)器人。這個(gè)機(jī)器人不是大公司做的,而是獨(dú)立的發(fā)明家創(chuàng)作的。我們有可以吹泡泡的機(jī)器人,當(dāng)然了,孩子們都很喜歡這種機(jī)器人。當(dāng)時(shí)都是獨(dú)立發(fā)明家在做這些機(jī)器人。大概有上百人在自家車庫里,研究和發(fā)明機(jī)器人。這才是真正的硅谷!雖然在這些發(fā)明家中,99%的人都會(huì)失敗,也賺不了錢,但他們很享受這個(gè)過程。但是可能有1%的發(fā)明家就在打造未來所需要的機(jī)器人,或者說他們也在構(gòu)思未來機(jī)器人的理念。
To me school going back to school because I started with school, right? So, school, yeah, should teach how to build a robot should teach the math the mathematics that you need to operate the robot but it should also teach you to be creative. Otherwise you will just jump to your order and design a robot that somebody you designed for you and you would just make a little more of that robot. But if they also teach you creativity you will invent the robots to the future that right now we can't even think of.
所以,我們?cè)倩氐綄W(xué)校的問題上。學(xué)校的教育很重要,學(xué)生在校園里學(xué)習(xí)如何制作機(jī)器人,學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)以及怎么樣去操控機(jī)器人。但老師要教學(xué)生學(xué)會(huì)創(chuàng)造,否則學(xué)生就不能研發(fā)出未來需要的機(jī)器人。這都是我們現(xiàn)在無法想象的事情。

剛看標(biāo)題“生存研究中心”還以為是生物基因類的。。。。
學(xué)會(huì)享受,享受自己的工作,這是我今天學(xué)的的。
“一群玩機(jī)器人的孩子”這個(gè)比喻透著一種年輕的生態(tài),同時(shí)讓人感到心慌,因?yàn)檫@是我們欠缺的?,F(xiàn)在企業(yè)為什么要弄這個(gè),就是為了賺錢。
