  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。
