in this small coastal town in the south-west of England.

在這個位於英格蘭西南部的沿海小城。

if wanted to come and look at their robots.

我說："哦，是的，我聽說過你。

"你做的機器人真的令人印象深刻。

"but they're not really that much of a story for my channel on their own."

"但他們本身對我的頻道來說並沒有那麼多的故事。"

So I said, "look, one of the things you do

所以我說，"聽著，你做的一件事是

"for shows and attractions and publicity stunts.

"用於表演和景點以及宣傳特技。

"你能為我做一個機器人替身嗎？"

Entertainment, communication and education

are the main use cases for this type of robot.

是這種類型的機器人的主要使用情況。

We've been creating robots for over 15 years,

我們創造機器人已經超過15年了。

and in that time the technology has obviously progressed.

而在這段時間裡，技術顯然已經取得了進步。

Robothespian was our first humanoid robot,

Robothespian是我們的第一個仿人機器人。

After Robothespian, we started to create Mesmer.

在Robhespian之後，我們開始創作Mesmer。

Mesmer is our ultra-lifelike-looking robot.

梅斯梅爾是我們的超生活化的機器人。

So it has the skin, it's painted like a human, we have hair,

是以，它有皮膚，它像人類一樣被塗抹，我們有頭髮。

and then we also dress them like a human,

然後我們也把他們打扮得像人一樣。

And then when we created Ameca, our newest robot,

然後，當我們創造了阿梅卡，我們最新的機器人。

that's when we thought: we need more facial expressions.

這時我們想：我們需要更多的面部表情。

So we increased the number of motors in the head.

所以我們增加了頭部的馬達數量。

There's more brow movements, it's got inner and outer brow,

有更多的眉毛運動，它有內部和外部的眉毛。

and we've got better movement in the lips.

而且我們的嘴脣有更好的運動。

The problem we have is the uncanny valley.

我們遇到的問題是不可思議的谷底。

You get that uncanny resemblance, but it's not quite right.

你得到了那種不可思議的相似性，但它並不完全正確。

And again, it's not just the what-it-looks-like,

再說一遍，這不僅僅是外觀上的問題。

而這正是它變得令人毛骨悚然的地方。

我們可以創造任何機器人形式的人。

So we can create a Mesmer of you or anyone.

所以我們可以創造一個你或任何人的梅斯梅爾。

- Okay, so I want them to build the robot double,

- 好的，所以我想讓他們建造機器人的雙胞胎。

not as a permanent thing, but it'd be great as a one-off,

不是永久性的，但作為一次性的，會很好。

像，這是一個偉大的視頻想法。

And besides, even just the parts and labour

for making the big mask and attaching it to

一個現有的機器人進行一天的拍攝...

所以早在2019年，我做了一個視頻

about the advertising for VPNs, virtual private networks.

關於VPN的廣告，虛擬私人網絡。

If you watch much YouTube, you will probably have seen

如果你經常看YouTube，你可能會看到

And in 2019, some of those adverts were...

而在2019年，這些廣告中的一些是...

嗯，"撒謊 "是一個強烈的術語。

but certainly stretching the truth a bit,

我還做了一個關於這個問題的視頻。

Turns out that video worked better than I thought,

事實證明，這個視頻比我想象的要好。

that there were several quite awkward conversations

between VPN companies and the people advertising for them.

在VPN公司和為其做廣告的人之間。

That video changed the industry, it changed how VPNs were sold.

那段視頻改變了這個行業，它改變了VPN的銷售方式。

And it also cut me off from being able to advertise them.

而且這也切斷了我為他們做廣告的能力。

Partly because companies were wary of me,

partly because a lot of people didn't quite pay attention to the video.

部分原因是很多人沒有完全注意到視頻。

But I burned that bridge, I couldn't advertise VPNs.

但我燒掉了那座橋，我不能為VPN做廣告。

You've probably already worked out where this is going by now?

你現在可能已經知道這是怎麼回事了吧？

and it's going to do the sponsor read for me.

A few months ago, I was here to get my head 3D-scanned,

幾個月前，我在這裡對我的頭部進行了3D掃描。

I haven't even seen a picture of the final result yet.

我甚至還沒有看到最終結果的照片。

I'm just going to take this GoPro camera in on a stick,

我只是要把這個GoPro相機放在一個棍子上拿進去。

- 所以要創建湯姆-斯科特機器人。

we actually got Tom Scott to sit in a scanning rig,

我們實際上讓湯姆-斯科特坐在掃描設備中。

3D sculpt the actual person that we are creating.

3D雕刻我們正在創造的實際人物。

we have to design the mechanics that fit inside.

我們必須設計適合內部的機械裝置。

We have a 3D printed skull, over the top of the mechanics

我們有一個3D打印的頭骨，在機械裝置的頂部

當然，這些都是由金屬製成的。

The Tom Scott bot is head and shoulders only.

湯姆-斯科特的機器人只有頭部和肩部。

所以我們得到了他的頭，我們得到了一個脖子。

Once we created the robot, we'd scan that robot again,

一旦我們創建了機器人，我們就會再次掃描該機器人。

and using that scan we know exactly the range of motions of the robot.

並利用該掃描，我們確切地知道機器人的運動範圍。

然後我們對這個人做一個視頻。

or get some reference videos of the person,

and try and match their little here-and-there

並試圖配合他們的小的這裡和那裡的
