When he was asked about his biggest success, Hong chose the robot called DARwIn-OP. He thought it was one of the most widely used human-like robots for research and education. Hong’s team made DARwIn’s design free for anyone to use. They have seen many projects using the design. And they consider it a gift to the robotics community.
“Many people only want to see our successes and not the failures that came before those, but failure is simply a stepping stone in developing new technology. If you’re too afraid of failure, then you only get to walk on the safer side, and then there’s no innovation(创新), ” said Hong. “I tell my students to try breaking the robot. If the robot doesn’t fall and doesn’t break, we don’t get to learn anything. ”

四、阅读表达(阅读短文, 按要求完成1~5题。)
(2024·安庆二模)Last month, we had a spring outing. My classmates and I went to an educational base in the city of Dujiangyan.
We were told that we needed to cook by ourselves there. So before setting out, we prepared fresh vegetables and meat such as potatoes and pork. Spices(调味品) like oil and salt were also needed.

When we arrived the next day, we were really surprised. The“kitchen” was so original(原始的)! Standing on the grass, we found only a big iron pot on top of a pile of bricks(砖块). There was no kitchen hood(抽油烟机) or gas. We needed to make a fire by ourselves. We had never experienced anything like this before. Not surprisingly, we didn’t have good control over the fire. Some students just made undercooked(未煮熟的) food.
I cooked garlic spare ribs(蒜香排骨). At first, I mistook cooking wine for oil and poured it into the pot. Unbelievable! But luckily, we found out in time. We cleaned the pot and started all over again. There were even more funny mistakes like that. However, we still finished our task.
