英語美文:機(jī)器人“監(jiān)工”上線提高工作效率

　　“Hey, look busy. Our robot boss is trundling over here!” That’s a sound that you may very well hear on the construction sites of the future, thanks to a lidar-equipped robot and matching drone developed by the company Doxel. Emerging from stealth this week with a $4.5 million funding round, Doxel hopes to revolutionize the construction industry using robots to scan construction sites to make sure that work is progressing correctly.

　　“嘿，快忙起來，我們的機(jī)器人老板正在附近視察呢!”未來的建筑工地上很可能會(huì)經(jīng)常聽到這種聲音，這要得益于Doxel公司開發(fā)的一款內(nèi)置激光雷達(dá)的機(jī)器人和配套無人機(jī)。曾出產(chǎn)隱形飛機(jī)的'Doxel本周獲得4500萬美元投資，希望在建筑行業(yè)掀起革命，用機(jī)器人掃描工地情況，確保工程正確進(jìn)行。

　　Far from a simple robotic camera, however, Doxel’s smart robots harness cutting-edge deep-learning technology to make informed judgements about how well work is going. If things fall behind schedule, a construction manager will receive a smartphone notification reading, “Mechanical team productivity has dropped below threshold” or similar. In other words, simply trying to look busy on site won’t be enough to fool these smart management bots.

　　Doxel公司的智能機(jī)器人遠(yuǎn)不止機(jī)器攝像頭這樣簡(jiǎn)單，它借助前沿深度學(xué)習(xí)技術(shù)在了解現(xiàn)場(chǎng)情況后可以很好地判斷工程進(jìn)度。如果工程進(jìn)度落后，建筑經(jīng)理會(huì)在智能手機(jī)上收到類似“機(jī)械團(tuán)隊(duì)產(chǎn)率低于門檻值”之類的提示。換言之，在工地上裝樣子的人沒辦法糊弄智能管理機(jī)器人。

　　“We make use of drones and rovers as data-capture mechanisms; drones for outdoors and rovers for indoors,” Saurabh Ladha, CEO and co-founder of Doxel, told Digital Trends. “The vast majority of construction involves indoors and that is where we deploy lidar in addition to an HD camera. The lidar captures depth data. Once the data is captured, our deep learning kicks in to automatically inspect quality and measure installed quantities. The diversity of objects found in construction and the degree of noise, clutter, and occlusion you find in such environments had made the automation of this process nearly impossible. Doxel’s A.I. capabilities means that job sites are automatically digitized, that project quality undergoes ongoing inspection, and that progress is measured in real time. Our dashboard then offers automatic real-time budget, schedule, and quality reports. We help to keep molehills from becoming mountains.”

　　“我們使用無人機(jī)和探測(cè)車作為數(shù)據(jù)捕捉機(jī)制;無人機(jī)用于室外，探測(cè)車用于室內(nèi)”Doexl公司首席執(zhí)行官和聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人紹拉巴·拉德哈告訴Digital Trends網(wǎng)站“絕大多數(shù)建筑工程都在室內(nèi)進(jìn)行，除高清攝像頭外，我們還會(huì)安裝許多激光雷達(dá)。一旦捕捉到數(shù)據(jù)，深度學(xué)習(xí)自動(dòng)監(jiān)測(cè)工程質(zhì)量，估計(jì)工程進(jìn)度。工地現(xiàn)場(chǎng)材料物品繁多，封閉又雜亂的環(huán)境十分嘈雜，實(shí)現(xiàn)自動(dòng)化幾無可能。Doxel公司的人工智能技術(shù)意味著工地現(xiàn)場(chǎng)自動(dòng)實(shí)現(xiàn)數(shù)字化，工程質(zhì)量可進(jìn)行持續(xù)監(jiān)測(cè)，工程進(jìn)度也可進(jìn)行實(shí)時(shí)估計(jì)。隨后屏幕會(huì)自動(dòng)提供實(shí)時(shí)預(yù)算，進(jìn)度表與質(zhì)量報(bào)告。這有助于企業(yè)防微杜漸�！�

　　Ladha observes that many construction projects — as many as 98 percent of large ones — can go significantly over time and budget. Being able to spot these trends early means that changes can be made in order to ensure things progress as efficiently as possible.

　　拉德哈注意到許多建筑工程，即多達(dá)98%的大型建筑工程都存在嚴(yán)重的超支超時(shí)問題。及早發(fā)現(xiàn)超支超時(shí)的趨勢(shì)意味著可以做出改變確保工程盡可能高效地進(jìn)行。

　　“We are currently working with large construction companies such as DPR Construction, as well as a large healthcare company building hospitals and medical office buildings,” Ladha said. “We sell Doxel as a service: everything from capturing data to delivering insights, and the service is sold on a monthly fee basis. Having just come out of stealth, our plans are to grow the business. The construction industry has struggled with productivity and we believe we can help to turn that around.”

　　“目前我們正和DPR建筑公司這樣的大公司展開合作，同時(shí)我們的客戶也包括一家正在建設(shè)醫(yī)院和醫(yī)療辦公樓的大型保健公司”拉德哈表示“Doxel產(chǎn)品的賣點(diǎn)在于服務(wù)：從捕捉數(shù)據(jù)到提供分析應(yīng)有盡有，按月收費(fèi)。從隱形飛機(jī)領(lǐng)域轉(zhuǎn)型后，公司計(jì)劃發(fā)展這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)。建筑行業(yè)一直受困于產(chǎn)率問題，我們認(rèn)為自己足以幫助建筑行業(yè)解決這一問題。”
