Contestants from around the world met in Pomona, California,this month to test their skills at things like driving a car,walking down stairs,and opening doors. Sounds easy,right? But the competitors weren't people — they were robots!
The bots were participating in the final round of the US，s DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Robotics Challenge. This event,which took place on June 5-6,tested robots on how well they could respond during a disaster and the winning team finally took home a $2 million grand prize.
The DARPA challenge was created after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. An earthquake caused a tsunami,which damaged a nuclear power plant. Workers at the plant needed to shut bff an important valve(阀门) ，but it was too dangerous for humans to reach it. The US scientists at DARPA wondered whether the disaster could have been avoided if a robot had been sent to do the job. So they set up the robotics competition.
Turning a valve was just one task a robot might have to perform when entering a disaster zone. In addition to doing this,robots participating in the challenge had to navigate a course containing several other tasks: driving and exiting a vehicle, opening a door,walking over or clearing objects,cutting a hole in a wall,plus climbing a flight of stairs.
Teams had to complete the challenge in one hour,and points were awarded based on how quickly the robots completed a task. They didn't have to attempt all the tasks. To make things even more realistic,challenge organizers caused short computer-system blackouts(断电) that prevented robots and the human operators controlling them from communicating. That means teams had to program their bots to be partially autonomous (独立的) . Robots also couldn’t be attached to anything that could keep them from falling down , which happened a lot.

We,at the Natural Health Medical Centre (NHMC) , use * only natural methods and natural medicines to help you cope with the pains of iife. As the life expectancy(预期寿命) of the average human being rises,we also recognize the need to pay special attention to our older patients.
The NHMC is the first all-purpose natural health centre in the country:
Twenty doctors provide daily swrgeries(门诊) for people to come in and talk about any condition,anything from worries over high salt intake to worrying about the latest flu virus and needing to talk to someone to just know that sojneone is thinking of you.
The Natural Health Maternity Ward allows the expectant mother to choose any one of a number of natural methods of birth under the supervision of our experienced team of doctors and nurses. We may believe that infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) is a problem of the past but we are still concerned about the number of complications with childbirth and in the first few days after birth. For this reason we also supply a specialized team of supporting staff who will visit mothers daily for a month after birth,watching both the mother and the child.
The Natural Health Paediatric Wing also pays special attention to children in their first years,that particularly difficult time as the child，s immune system strengthens and mothers no longer need to worry about their child's daily colds and rush to the hospital for injections.
Our new addition is the Natural Heart Wing. Is your blood pressure high or do you have chest pains that frighten you? Do not worry. Our Natural Health Healthy Heart Team are ready to help you through this worrying time. Although we cannot provide heart surgery,make sure you never have to go through that frightening experience.
Finally,the Natural Health Centre provides a wide variety of other service from massage,shiatsu(指压疗法) and reflexology to a tanning salon that help you hide the effects of premature (提前的) ageing.
