And I'd like you all to meet my aerobe friend.

我想把这位 aerobe 朋友介绍给大家。

The aerobes evolve their personalities as they interact and learn from each other.

这些 aerobe 通过互动和互相学习发展出自己的个性。

To explore this question, I created two new machine species that I call " aerobes."

为了探索这个问题，我创造了两个全新的机器物种，名叫“aerobe”（需氧菌）。

This software allows each aerobe to develop unique behaviors and to respond autonomously to its environment.

这个软件让每一个 aerobe 都能产生独特的行为，自主地应对环境。

It was very important for me that the aerobes had their own sensory world.

这些 aerobes 能有自己的感官世界，对我来说非常重要。

I released 12 aerobes into the museum space so they could form their own small ecosystem.

我在展厅放了 12 个 aerobes，这样它们可以形成自己的小型生态系统。

Mycobacteria are an interesting bunch, they are slender, rod shaped, and need oxygen to survive, in other words, they're strict aerobes.

结核分枝杆菌是一组很有趣的病原菌，为细长的杆状菌，需要氧气来繁殖，换言之，它们是严格意义上的需氧菌。

When you look at these aerobes, it gives you a feeling almost opposite to the uncanny valley.

看着这些 aerobes，你会产生与恐怖谷截然相反的感受。

It's thought that this is because oxygenation is greatest in these areas and TB being an aerobe prefers areas of greater oxygenation, right ?

普遍认为的原因为这部分区域氧气很丰富，TB作为需氧菌，更喜欢氧气较多的地方，对吧。

My hope is that these aerobes will help us appreciate a more diverse way of living and being.

我希望这些需氧菌能帮助我们欣赏更加多样化的生活方式。

These aerobes perceive each other through high-frequency radio waves, and they use thermal sensing to detect other living creatures in their environment.

这些需氧菌通过高频无线电波相互感知，并使用热感应来检测环境中的其他生物。

We also looked deeply into the field of soft robotics, and ultimately brought the aerobes to life by designing them with fluid movement and lighter-than-air construction.

我们还深入研究了软体机器人领域，并最终通过设计具有流体运动和比空气轻的结构来使需氧菌栩栩如生。

I wanted the aerobes to have a sense of freedom and unpredictability, so I worked with my team to create what is called an artificial life simulation.

我想让有氧生物有一种自由和不可预测的感觉，所以我和我的团队一起创造了所谓的人工生命模拟。

An aerobe might be curious about your heat signature, and fly over to greet and flirt with you, while other aerobes are more shy and might go out of their way to avoid a crowd.

有氧生物可能会对你的热信号感到好奇，并飞过来与你打招呼和调情， 而其他有氧生物则更害羞， 可能会特意避开人群。

To explore this question, I created two new machine species that I call " aerobes." I released 12 aerobes into the museum space so they could form their own small ecosystem.

我称之为“需氧菌” 。 我将 12 种需氧菌释放到博物馆空间中， 这样它们就可以形成自己的小型生态系统。
