We've allowed hands that are either as simple as a hook for doing heavy work or hands that actually have fingers like a human hand that could do complex dexterity functions."
我们可把机器人的手做成简单的钩子，这同样能做重活，或者做成像人类一样长有五指的手来做复杂灵巧的工作。
At home, your Exoskeleton will help you with all sorts of manual labor. They will also let paralyzed and elderly people walk, even climb mountains. Eventually, this steel strong man may even go climbing by himself.
在家里，Exoskeleton能帮助你干任何体力劳动。它们也能帮助残疾人和老人行走，甚至能帮助他们爬山。最后，这种钢筋超人甚至可能会独自爬山。
"It’s possible in the future that the Exoskeleton could not have the person in the cavities, but series of electronic systems and senor systems. So it actually becomes an autonomous robot."
“在未来，Exoskeleton很有可能不再依附于人类，而是有自己独立的电力、传感系统。那样它就能变成独立的机器人。”
Just how autonomous will these super strong robots become? Could they conceivably organize themselves into an army and turn against us? They will be a formidable enemy. Friend or foe, the Exoskeleton embodies our hopes and fears about tomorrow’s robots.
这些拥有超能力的机器人到底会独立自主到什么程度？它们能自发地组织成一支军队，向我们宣战吗？他们会成为令人畏惧的强敌。是敌是友，Exoskeleton体现了人类对未来机器人的希望和恐惧。
"I think it's a window on the future. And it’s a matter now of just finishing the project."
“我认为它就是未来的一扇窗。目前最重要的就是完成这项工程。”
Owning a robot, especially a super-strong one is just one science fiction fantasy that may soon come true. What about having the power many of us have fantasized about-the power of X-ray vision.
拥有一个机器人，尤其是一个超能机器人，这在从前只是科幻小说里的幻想，但梦想可能很快变成现实。就拿我们曾经想拥有的X射线视觉来说吧。
"X-ray vision obviously comes from superman. He just had the magic power to look right inside of anything, except for lead."
很明显，X射线视觉来自于《超人》，他有看穿一切物质的魔力，铅除外。
George Stetton is the inventor of the sonic flashlight—a device that puts the power of X-ray vision in the palm of your hand.
George Stetton是声控手电筒的发明者，这种装置将X射线视觉搬到人们巴掌大的手上。
"You can look at your muscles, and tendons, and veins and your heart. It’s a very simple concept. It has an ultrasound probe and it has a little display, mounted on the ultrasound probe and a little mirror."
你可以通过它观察你的肌肉，肌腱，还有静脉以及心脏。这个概念很简单。它带有超声波探测装置，在探测装置上面装有一个显示器和一面小镜子。
The flashlight works by superimposing the image captured by the ultrasound onto what you are seeing on the outside. The process is called augmented reality. It’s capable of showing features up to six inches beneath the skin.
这种手电筒通过超声波捕捉你所看到的外界事物，并将图像层层叠加。这个过程就叫做增强实境。它能显示皮肤下面6英寸的纹理特点。
