Forget booth babes: Tech firm uses pole dancing ROBOTS to attract people

However, a Dutch firm has taken a slightly different approach for its London event.
然而,荷蘭的一家公司為他們在倫敦舉辦的展覽做了點小小的改變.
TransIP hired a pair of pole dancing robots for an event in Shoreditch. TransIP
公司聘請了一對跳鋼管舞的機器人在肖爾迪奇區做產品模特兒.
The dancers, which cost around £2,500 to hire, were made out of old car parts and were designed by British artist Giles Walker, with their moves controlled by a computer.
這對電腦操控的機器人的成本大約是2500英鎊,由英國藝術家賈爾斯·沃克（Giles Walker）設計,是由舊汽車的零部件制作而成的.
The robots were originally created in 2012 by Walker for a show called 'Peepshow'.
在2012年,沃克原本是為"西洋鏡"展覽創作的這對機器人.
'We are now all living in a peepshow. Continually being watched by mechanical peeping toms on every street corner,' he said.
"我們現在都生活在西洋鏡里,時不時地被街角的偷窺狂偷窺,"他說.
'With this in mind, I wondered if it was possible to literally make a CCTV camera sexy using simple mechanics...and by using the imagery of a pole dancer question the roles played in voyeurism.
"帶著這種想法,我想知道就用這些簡單的金屬和想象中的一些鋼管舞者的形象,是否有可能創造出一個性感的機器人."
'Could this pile of old windscreen wipers and odd pieces of metal become something sexual.... '
"這些破舊的雨刷器和奇怪的金屬塊能變成一些很性感的東西嗎......"
