A mechanical engineer will design the robot’s body. Electrical engineers will design the robot’s controlling, power, signal receiving, etc. Electro-mechanical engineers may work on the robot’s sensors (傳感器). Computer engineers will design the robot’s brain. Now companies are hiring robotics engineers to develop everything from automated vacuum cleaners (自動吸塵器) to robot dogs. So do you want to be a robotics engineer? How do you find an effective way to get started to become a robotics engineer? Here’s how I became a robotics engineer. It started with trying to build a robotic hand as a teenager in my parents’ garage. This was after I first learned how servo systems (隨動系統) worked. So I only got the servo part working, but it was a start. Later I went to college to get an undergraduate degree (學士學位) as an electrical engineer. After that I worked as an electrical engineer for three years. I designed several automatic control systems that were very interesting. Then I went back to school, this time as a mechanical engineer, and completed all the undergraduate mechanical engineering courses. After that I also received a Master’s degree and the degree of PhD on robotics. If you are interested in becoming a robotics engineer and would like to chat by email, please feel free to contact me. ( )41. Who play the most important part in making robots? A. Computer engineers. B. Mechanical engineers. C. Electrical engineers. D. Software engineers. ( )42. What does a mechanical engineer design while making a robot? A. The robot’s brain. B. The robot’s body. C. The robot’s power. D. The robot’s sensors. ( )43. What did the writer do when he worked as an electrical engineer? A. He built a robotic hand. B. He got the servo system working. C. He designed some automatic control systems. D. He completed all the mechanical engineering courses. ( )44. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Making automated vacuum cleaners and robot dogs needs robotics engineers. B. People who want to become a robotics engineer can call the writer. C. The writer started to learn about robotics when he was a young boy. D. The writer learned and got four degrees before becoming a robotics engineer. ( )45. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To tell people it’s difficult to get the degree of PhD on robotics. B. To tell people what they should learn before becoming a robotics engineer. C. To call on more and more people to become robotics engineers. D. To make friends with people who like robotics engineering. 四、填空(每小題1分，滿分10分) 46. B2C stands for Business to (顧客). Most B2C companies are in fact online sellers. 47.

They have been making entertainment robots for many years and they do it quite well. With dancing bears and singing pirates (海盜), Disney World has created thousands of robots. The robot shown in the picture is a robot dinosaur named Lucky. He walks on his two back legs and pulls a very large cart (二輪馬車) of “silk flowers”. Really the cart is full of batteries. I don’t go to the amusement park, but I’m sure my kids would love to. According to the manufacturer (制造商), KUKA Robotics, this is the first robotic arm with world-wide certification (合格證) to hold humans. KUKA makes robotic arms of very high quality for the amusement park, so I would let my kids ride it. No one can forget the pet robots that have come onto the market in the last decade (十年) or so. Sony’s Aibo robots (two of which are shown in the picture) have been the first robots to really spread through every part of our homes. Some entertainment robots are not just remote-controlled (遙控的) speakerphones with video camera “eyes”. They can also go around at parties and play pre-recorded songs. Florida Robotics makes robots like these. They also make more robots that can talk with on-lookers (旁觀者), send videos of what they see to the video wall, and make sound effects and smoke.

Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the s 91 on the effect of robot dogs on old people’s feelings. In the study, the r 92 , called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live a 93 . Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data (數據) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their e 94 feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if the robot dog has produced any changes in the life of its master. “I talk to him all the time,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “W 95 I do, he’ll stay with me. When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.” The scientists say they have some a 96 over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by e 97 walking it or playing with it. “At the beginning, it was b 98 that no one would like the robot dog because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robot p 99 could become more valuable health helpers. They will r 100 their masters’ data of health conditions. They may even one day help older people in many other ways.”

Here is the result. Two thirds of us think we need robots, because they can help us with lots of everyday jobs and they can make life easier. But one third of us think we don’t need to have robots. They say robots cost too much and they can cause some unexpected problems. They also think robots can make people lazy. I think that a robot can help with housework and make it possible for us to spend more time on something more important and exciting. So I would get a robot if possible.
