Innovative[创新的] design makes us look again at everyday objects, so when an everyday
object thinks for itself, we really notice. London-based designer, Assa Ashuach, has designed a lamp with artificial intelligence[人工智能] – the AI Light. It can vary the shape of the lampshade[灯罩]
automatically[自动地], producing different intensities[亮度] of light at different times of the day.
The creator of the moving parts, Dr. Sia Mahdavi, explains, “The aim was to create a light capable of
controlling its body-shape according to the environment.
If the light is placed in a noisy room with lots of people moving around, it would behave differently than if it were placed in a library. If people are constantly moving past, it can relax and shut down and only react when something new happens.”
The sensors[传感器] record changes in the lighting
conditions, noise levels, and movement in the
environment. Then the light can move under the control of two rotation[旋转] motors that twist the light and two linear actuators[线性致动器] for the push and pull actions.
The complexity of designing new internal[内部的] structures has led to the creation of unique software to determine the exact[准确的] modifications[更改] needed. Mahdavi says, “We change the internal structure so it is exact to what is needed. Also, we can vary the properties[性质] throughout the structure of the part. So it is possible to have one area that is very flexible while the material can be much stiffer in another area. With the AI Light we used high-tech artificial
intelligence that is normally used in things like aerospace[航天航空] or advanced robotics.”
独具匠心的设计使我们重新审视那些司空见惯的事物，所以当一件日常用品自行“思考”时，确实会令人耳目一新。伦敦的设计师阿飒·阿舒奇设计了一款具备人工智能的变形灯。它可以自行改变灯罩形状，在一天的不同时间产生不同亮度的光线。
变形部件的制造者——西亚·马赫达维博士解释说：“我们的目标是制造一种可以根据周围环境改变形状的台灯。如果将它放在一个人来人往的房间里，这种灯的表现会和它在图书馆里时大不一样。如果总是有人在灯前经过，台灯就会放松下来，自行熄灭，直到新情况出现才作出反应。”
变形灯的传感器可以记录环境中的光照变化、噪音水平和物体运动等情况。台灯随后便会在两个改变光线的旋转马达的控制下变形，两个线性致动器能（让灯罩）进行延展或收缩。
（为材料）设计新的内部构造是一个复杂的过程。设计者必须开发特别的软件，以便根据需要进行准确变化。马赫达维说：“我们改变材料的内部结构，它就能根据需要作出改变。我们还能使部件的不同部分呈现不同属性。所以我们完全可以使材料的某一部分柔韧可变，而另一部分则坚硬无比。在变形灯的设计上，我们采用了高科技的人工智能——那通常被应用在航天航空或高级机器人等技术领域。”
