雪霸一号人形机器人近日作为首位机器人博士生入读上海戏剧学院。未来四年，它将在舞台美术系攻读数字表演设计学位。该项目由上戏与上海理工大学联合推出，旨在开发新一代具身智能体的实验性训练方法，着重多模态交互、艺术表达与认知成长。在四年学习期间，雪霸一号将系统学习中国传统戏曲的基本动作、程式化表演与舞台技法。

You're listening to Special English. Standing one point seven five meters tall, weighing some 30 kilometers, and dressed in a blue short sleeved shirt, the Xue Ba one embodied robot has been recently welcomed as the first robot doctoral student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Over the next four years, it will pursue a degree in the digital performance design at the department of stage design. Launched by the Shanghai Theatre Academy and the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, the program aims to develop experimental training methods for a new generation of embodied agents emphasizing multimodal interaction, artistic expression, and cognitive growth. Throughout the four year program, Xue Ba one will systematically learn the fundamental movements, routines, and performance techniques of traditional Chinese operas.

机器人联合导师李清都表示，该机器人融合了世界领先的超轻量化肌腱仿生结构和类人面部技术。它能完成精细动作，呈现100多种逼真表情并实现实时互动。同时担任上海理工大学机器智能研究院执行院长的李指出，这款机器人可灵活调节身高与外貌，即便在高强度条件下也能持续工作六小时以上。李特别说明，现阶段'雪霸一号'能演唱豫剧、沪剧和京剧选段，但动作仍欠缺流畅度与美感，并补充称研究团队正通过动作捕捉技术记录人类表演者的肢体动作、表情神态，以此构建训练数据集。据李透露，未来该机器人或可直接从视频素材中学习，这将提供更丰富的数据并有助于生成更自然的表演。

Li Qingdu, a co supervisor of the robot, said that the robot incorporates a world leading ultra lightweight tendon based bionic structure and human like facial technology. It can perform delicate movements as well as over a 100 lifelike expressions and real time interactions. Li, also executive director of the Institute of Machine Intelligence at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology said that the robot can flexibly adjust its height and appearance, perform continuously for over six hours even under high intensity conditions. Li noted that at this stage, Xue Ba one can sing pieces from Henan Opera, Shanghai Opera, and Peking Opera, but its movements still lack smoothness and aesthetic appeal, adding that the research team use motion capture technology to record human performers' movements, expressions, and gestures, and to form training data sets. According to Lee, in the future, the robot could learn directly from video footage, which provides richer data and helps generate more natural performances.

学院教授兼该机器人联合导师杨青青表示，这一教学模式融合了技术精进与人文启迪，并强调在人文层面更注重讨论与启发。例如，杨会向雪巴一号讲解角色的背景、动机及情感层次，而它将运用语言处理技术解析她的指导并生成相应的表演提案。杨强调，这一创举为中国艺术教育提供了宝贵洞见，打破了学科壁垒，凸显当代艺术家需将科技素养、跨学科思维与传统技艺及人文知识相结合的必要性。

Yang Qing Qing, a professor at the academy and a co supervisor of the robot, said that the teaching model integrates technical refinement and humanistic inspiration, adding that on the humanistic side, they focus more on discussion and inspiration. For example, Yang would explain a character's background, motivations, and emotional layers to Xue Ba one, and it will use its language processing technology to interpret her guidance and generate corresponding performance proposals. Yang emphasized that the initiative offers valuable insights for arts education in China, breaking down disciplinary barriers and underscoring the need for contemporary artists to combine technological literacy and interdisciplinary thinking with traditional skills and humanistic knowledge.

From January to August, both production and sales of new energy vehicles posted double digit increases. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, during the period, new energy vehicle production surged 37.3% year on year to about 9,600,000 units, while sales jumped by 36.7% to 9,600,000 units. You're listening to Special English. Chinese researchers have identified new landslides on the moon that have formed since 02/2009. According to the research article recently published in the journal National Science Review, the primary trigger of such landslides was seismic activity originating within the moon or moonquakes rather than asteroid impacts.

来自广东省中山大学的研究团队分析了月球最不稳定地形的多时相图像。研究表明这些新滑坡体规模浅小，单个滑坡体位移物质不足10万立方米。大多数滑坡体长度不足1公里，宽度小于100米。在调查新滑坡地质条件后，研究人员发现大量新形成的撞击坑（最大直径超70米），但其中不足30%的新滑坡由撞击引发。论文指出，多数新滑坡可能由月震诱发，且在雨海盆地东部呈现明显的空间聚集性，暗示月球内部地震带的不均匀分布。

The researchers from Sun Yat sen University in South China's Guangdong Province analyzed multitemporal images of the moon's most unstable terrains. The study revealed that these new landslides are shallow and small with each displacing less than 100,000 cubic meters of material. Most of these landslides measure less than one kilometer in length and 100 meters in width. After investigating the geological conditions of the new landslides, the researchers identified a large number of newly formed impact craters with the largest diameter exceeding 70 meters, Yet fewer than 30% of the new landslides appeared to have been triggered by these impacts. According to the research article, most new landslides were likely induced by moonquakes, and they display distinct spatial clustering in the East of Imbrium Basin, implying heterogeneous distributions of seismic zones in the lunar interior.

此前，月球深部的活跃地震带一直难以探测。该研究表明，月球滑坡的空间分布模式可用于识别活跃地震带。这为未来月震仪部署定位和月球内部结构探测提供了明确策略。

Previously, active seismic zones deep within the moon had remained largely undetectable. This study shows that the spatial pattern of lunar landslides can be used to identify the active seismic zones. It provides a clear strategy for targeting future seismometer deployments and probing the moon's internal structure.
