So to imitate these natural movements, we have to replace rotating motors and fast, spinning propellers with artificial muscles.

要做到这种自然的动作，我们不应该使用旋转电机和快速旋转的螺旋桨，而应该使用人造肌肉。

I am most excited about the practical applications of HASEL artificial muscles.

我最兴奋的是 HASEL 人造肌肉的实际应用。

So instead of having a motor, you have these artificial muscles. And you can make artificial muscles out of jelly.

因此，您拥有的不是马达，而是这些人造肌肉。你可以用果冻做人造肌肉。

Now we are replacing that motor and pump, which is noisy and not desired in such a way, we're replacing it with silent, artificial muscles.

我们不想再用这震耳欲聋、令人讨厌的电机和泵了，而是用安静的人造肌肉代替。

So how do HASEL artificial muscles work?

那么 HASEL 人造肌肉是如何工作的呢？

Instead of having a motor, which we have at the moment, you can make things called artificial muscles.

您可以制造称为人造肌肉的东西，而不是我们目前拥有的马达。

Taking inspiration from humans, researchers set out to create an artificial muscle that could handle heat by sweating.

从人类身上汲取灵感，研究人员着手制造一种可以通过出汗来处理热量的人造肌肉。

The soft actuators, essentially artificial muscles, allow these micro-drones to flap their wings rapidly, achieving impressive flight capabilities.

软执行器本质上是人造肌肉，使这些微型无人机能够快速拍动翅膀，实现令人印象深刻的飞行能力。

I wanted to create new ways to build artificial muscles that would work well for real-world applications.

我想创造新的方法来构建适合实际应用的人造肌肉。

Even the motor powering the gentle flapping is a soft disc which contracts in response to electrical impulses, sort of like an artificial muscle.

甚至为轻柔拍打提供动力的电机也是一个软盘，它会响应电脉冲而收缩，有点像人造肌肉。

Now, having two such needles is not a practical way of operating artificial muscles, but this amazing experiment got me hooked on the topic.

现在， 拥有两根这样的针并不是操作人造肌肉的实用方法，但这个惊人的实验让我迷上了这个话题。

Together with my outstanding team of students, we used this idea as a starting point to develop a new technology called HASEL artificial muscles.

我们与我的优秀学生团队一起，以这个想法为起点， 开发了一项名为 HASEL 人造肌肉的新技术。

About 10 years ago, when I did my PhD back in Austria, my colleagues and I rediscovered what is likely one of the very first publications on artificial muscle, published in 1880.

大约 10 年前， 当我在奥地利攻读博士学位时，我和我的同事们重新发现了可能是 1880 年出版的最早的人造肌肉出版物之一。

So if we could build soft actuators, or artificial muscles, that are as versatile, adaptable and could have the same performance as the real thing, we could build almost any type of robot for almost any type of use.

因此，如果我们能够制造出与真实物体一样灵活、适应性强且性能相同的软致动器或人造肌肉，我们就可以制造出几乎任何类型的机器人，几乎可以用于任何类型的用途。
