23年高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——机器人导游
——改编自Robot tour guide
In Greece, a culture guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to the Alistrati Cave. Persephone is a human-sized robot that can smoothly guide tourists through the first 150 meters of the cave, talking about it in 33 different languages. However, it can only answer 33 questions in Greek. After the first part of the tour, a human guide takes over for the remaining 750 meters.
Nikos Kartalis, the scientific director of the Alistrati site, came up with the idea of creating a robot guide after seeing one on television at an art show. The robot was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost around 139,000 dollars. The creators are considering ways to increase its speed, as it can only guide visitors to the first three of eight stops. Nonetheless, many foreign visitors find it fascinating that Greece has the ability to build a robot and use it as a guide in the cave.
Persephone has a white body, black head, and two bright eyes, moving on wheels. It starts the tour by introducing itself: "My name is Persephone. I welcome you to the Alistrati Cave." It has become a popular attraction, with some visitors coming back to see the robot guide again.
Evdokia Karafera, a human guide who partners with Persephone, finds it helpful that it can speak many languages. She notes a little delay in the touring but most find it fascinating, especially children who find it interesting that the robot speaks so many languages. However, Karafera believes that robots cannot replace humans everywhere, even though they may take over many jobs in the future.
Overall, Persephone the robot guide is a great example of how technology can enhance tourism experiences.
