HRP-4Industrial RoboticsEventually the deeper long term financial resources and strong domestic market enjoyed by the Japanese companies prevailed, their robots spread all over the globe. Only a few non-Japanese companies managed to survive in this market, including Adept Technology,Stäubli-Unimation, the Swedish-Swiss company ABB (ASEA Brown-Boveri), the Austrian manufacturer igmRobotersysteme AG and the German company KUKA Robotics.This includes the one used by the robot based automative production plants,known as assembly line robots. CharacteristicsMoreover, a recently created robot called CB2 orChild-robot with Biomimetic Body may follow moving objects with its eyes. CB2 can dangle its legs, raise its shoulders and fall with rhythmic breathing. CB2 may recognize the human touch, which is possible thanks to the 197 film-like pressure sensors that are placed under its rubbery skin. Asada, the team of engineers and brain specialists together with psychologists and many other specialists in the related domain created a CB2 that may record emotional expressions, memorize them and then match them with physical sensations.The characteristics of robots are however progressive, their abilities being enlarged as the technology has progressed. The same CB2 acts more and more as human and it was capable of teaching itself how to walk with the aid of human help. The robot learned how to move around the room byusing its 51 "muscles," which are driven by air pressure. The humanoid Japanese robots characteristics include abilities such as blinking, smiling or expressing emotions akin to anger and surprise. One of the newest Japanese robots, HRP-4C is a female-robot programmed to catwalk. It walks and talks and with the help of 30 motors it may move its legs and arms however loudly and awkwardly. The facial expressions that are capable of are driven by 8 facial motors to make it smile or blink and change the facial expression as a response to anger or surprise.Robots that are intended to play with children usually look like animals and depending on what animal they are, they make different sounds, move, walk and play. Robot-dogs for example may bark, move their tails and somehow run or play with a child.There are also the mountable robots that can carry their passengers almost anywhere they need to go. Some of the Japanese robots move through rolling.题型难度分析据学生回忆，这篇题目相对简单，而且是旧题V080621。
首先有六个段落细节配对题，分别对应了C, D, E, F段，F 段重复了一次。
接下来有个summary的填空题。
题型技巧分析Summary题，有顺序原则。
先关注instruction字数限制，有些题目在字数限制前，还有段落限制，告诉这个题目是针对哪个段落的。
其次，通读summary, 并且划出关键词，主要包括名词，连接词，介词，不定冠词。
然后根据空格前后信息，预测空格上的单词（单复数，可数与否，词性，-ing, -ed, 固定搭配等）如果是有选项的摘要题的话，还要通读选项。
同时注意无选项的文章摘要题，在写答案的时候，单词一定要是来自于文章中的。
