  • He favors terminal expansion and improved passenger facilities instead.
  • Alicante handles 19.9 million passengers annually, up 8.5% from previous year.

Why China’s Robotics ‘Surpassing Humans’ is Rapidly Evolving ボストン・ダイナミクスが開発した人型ロボット「アトラス」や、ホンダが開発した人型ロボット「ASIMO」といったロボットは、二足歩行や複雑な動作を実現し、人間のように行動する。 Robots such as Boston Dynamics' humanoid robot "Atlas" and Honda's humanoid robot "ASIMO" can walk on two legs and perform complex movements, behaving like humans. 中国では、そんな最先端のロボットが続々と登場している。 In China, cutting-edge robots like these are rapidly emerging. 2021年7月、中国科学院が開発した二足歩行ロボットが、世界で初めて「人間のように歩く」ことに成功した。 In July 2021, a two-legged walking robot developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully "walked like a human" for the first time in the world. 同年10月には、中国のロボット企業「UBTECH」が、4足歩行ロボット「Goat」を公開した。 In October of the same year, Chinese robotics company UBTECH unveiled its quadruped walking robot "Goat". 2022年6月には、北京で開催された「2022世界ロボット大会」で、2足歩行の人型ロボットが、複雑な動作を次々と披露した。 At the "2022 World Robot Conference" held in Beijing in June 2022, a two-legged humanoid robot displayed a series of complex movements. 中国でロボットが急速に進化を遂げている背景には、どのような事情があるのか。 What are the circumstances behind the rapid evolution of robots in China? ロボット開発で先行する米国のボストン・ダイナミクスや日本のホンダなどは、研究開発に長い年月と多額の資金を投じてきた。 US-based Boston Dynamics and Japan-based Honda, which are pioneering in robot development, have invested a long time and a large amount of money in research and development. 一方、中国は比較的遅くロボット開発に着手したが、近年、政府主導でロボット産業への支援を強化している。 On the other hand, China started robot development relatively late, but in recent years, the government has stepped up support for the robotics industry. 2021年には、科学技術省が「十四五(じゅうしご)」科学技術イノベーション計画のなかで、ロボットの開発を主要な科学技術分野に位置づけた。 In 2021, the Ministry of Science and Technology positioned robot development as a major scientific and technological field in the "14th Five-Year" Science and Technology Innovation Plan.
