If you’re tired of struggling to make human connections, a Japanese startup is putting a price tag on the robotic variety — and it’s pretty steep.

　　如果你厌倦了努力与人打交道，日本一家创业公司正在售卖的价格高昂的机器人(可以帮助你)。

　　GROOVE X launched a companion robot Tuesday that’s programmed to make lonely humans feel the love.

　　GROOVE X公司本周二推出了一款伴侣机器人，该机器人被设定好可让孤独的人类感受到爱。

　　The Lovot, which resembles a cuddly children’s toy and comes in a rainbow of colors, retails for around $3,100 before taxes and other fees.

　　五颜六色的Lovot就像一个可爱的儿童玩具，税前零售价约为3100美元。

　　Be warned: The wheeled robot cannot help with practical tasks such as housework — but it will “draw out your ability to love,” Groove X founder and CEO Kaname Hayashi told reporters at the launch in Tokyo.

　　Groove X公司的创始人兼首席执行官Kaname Hayashitold在东京的发布会上告诉记者:这个带轮子的机器人不能帮你做家务活等实际工作，但它会“锻炼你的爱的能力”。

　　“When you touch your Lovot, embrace it, even just watch it, you’ll find yourself relaxing [and] feeling better. It’s a little like feeling love toward another person,” the company’s website reads.

　　该公司网站介绍到：“当你抚摸Lovot、拥抱它，甚至只是看着它，你会发现自己放松了，感觉更好了。这有点像爱上一个人的感觉。”

　　“Lovot will react to your moods and do all it can to fill you with joy and re-energize you. It may not be a living creature, but Lovot will warm your heart.”

　　“Lovot会对你的情绪做出反应，尽其所能让你欢喜，让你重新充满活力。它可能不是一个活生生的生物，但它会温暖你的心。”

　　The Lovot, an amalgam of “love” and “robot,” uses artificial intelligence to mimic human-like emotional responses: It sleeps when cuddled and follows the leader when called (a thermal camera allows it to scan the room and find its owner).

　　Lovot是“爱”和“机器人”的混合体，它利用人工智能来模仿人类的情感反应:抱着它的时候它会睡觉，叫到它的时候它会跟着主人(热成像相机可以让它扫描房间，找到主人)。

　　Users can access the Lovot’s camera through a smartphone app, and can be used for other practical purposes like baby monitoring.

　　用户可以通过智能手机应用程序访问Lovot的摄像机，使其用于婴儿监控等其他实际目的。

　　For those who want an even more personalized experience, the 6-pound robot will be able to change outfits, with a range of clothing and accessories available for purchase.

　　对于那些想要更个性化体验的人来说，这个重达6磅的机器人能够更换配置以及一系列市面供应的服装和配饰。

　　Pre-orders for a set of two start shipping in 2019 and pre-orders for a single are slated to ship in early 2020. Either way, you have plenty of time to decide whether you wanna Lovot or leave it.

　　2个一组的预购订单将于2019年开始发货，单个的预购订单将于2020年初发货。不管怎样，你都有足够的时间来决定买Lovot还是不买。
