如果我们对科技善加利用，它还是能为人所用、为人服务的。
If we can harness the power of technology, it can be a force for good.
教育部、人力资源和社会保障部、工业和信息化部于2020年联合发布的《制造业人才发展规划指南》显示，到2025年，机器人和高档数控机床有关领域人才缺口将达450万，人才需求量也必定会在智能制造不断发展的过程中继续增长。
有志在机器人、智能制造等领域发展的年轻人请看过来：
由总部位于瑞士的跨国科技公司ABB和中国自动化学会联合主办的2021年ABB杯智能技术创新大赛于昨日（3月15日）正式启动，赛程将持续至9月底。
The ABB Cup Innovation Contest, co-hosted by global technology company ABB and the Chinese Association of Automation, began on March 15 and will run until the end of September.
大赛以“智能技术，创领未来” 为主题，旨在通过比赛激发青年学生的创新热情，更有力地支持所在地智能产业技术人才的培养。
With the vision that intelligent technologies create and lead the future, the contest aims to encourage innovation and help expand the local pool of talent for the intelligent industry.
本届大赛顺应人才发展的新趋势，设置了挑战组（RobotStudio®俄罗斯方块玩家挑战）与技能组（协作机器人图形化编程应用与开发）两组赛题，寓智于趣，寓赛于乐，能够帮助选手在参赛过程中锤炼创新思维，提升实践能力。
挑战组：RobotStudio®俄罗斯方块玩家挑战
软件是机器人的大脑，算法（algorithm）是机器人的灵魂。挑战组的比赛将机器人现实场景中的码垛应用对应于经典的俄罗斯方块游戏（Tetris），选手们将基于RobotStudio®软件进行俄罗斯方块游戏的比拼。
技能组：协作机器人图形化编程应用与开发
协作机器人（cobot）是机器人发展历程中新的里程碑。参加技能组比赛的选手将完成两项任务：使用简易编程软件Wizard对机器人完成离线编程（offline programming），进行虚拟仿真（virtual simulation）；发挥创意，发掘协作机器人在生产、生活中的创新应用，并开发针对该应用的图形化指令（graphical instruction）。
本届大赛面向中国大陆及中国香港、澳门、台湾地区的高等院校及职业院校学生，选手可以个人或团队形式报名。
优秀选手除获得奖金外，还将有机会受邀参加或观摩将在中国国际工业博览会现场举办的挑战组决赛，并将赢得ABB招聘直通车“绿卡”，优先获得工作及实习机会。

“我们期待在今年的比赛中看到更多展现面向高端制造业和智能服务业的人机协作、人机共融前景的优秀作品，也期待发现更多勇于探索、善于创新的青年人才，为中国智能产业的发展贡献新生力量。”
We look forward to seeing more quality entries in the fields of human-machine collaboration and integration for advanced manufacturing and intelligent services. We also hope to identify venturesome and creative fresh blood for China’s intelligent industry.
ABB杯创新大赛也是中瑞创新合作领域的重要项目之一，瑞士驻华公使和驻沪总领事多次亲临颁奖现场，支持两国技术交流与人才培养。瑞士驻华大使馆公使沈鹤鸣先生（Thomas Staehli, minister and deputy head of mission at the Swiss embassy in China）为大赛发来贺词，他表示：
“我非常高兴地看到ABB通过提供领先的智能技术和解决方案，持续推动所在地人才培养，进一步加速数字革命，为未来可持续发展做出贡献。”
I am very pleased to see that ABB’s state-of-the-art solutions of promoting intelligent technology paired with its decisive focus on the cultivation of local talents will further accelerate the digital revolution and contribute to sustainable development in the future.
ABB致力于通过软件将智能技术集成到电气、机器人、自动化、运动控制产品及解决方案之中，不断拓展技术疆界，推动行业转型和社会可持续发展。
By connecting software to its electrification, robotics, automation and motion portfolio, ABB is pushing the boundaries of technology to drive performance to new levels.
ABB将人才视为最宝贵的财富，在全球拥有约7000位研究人员，并与清华大学等全球100多所顶尖大学保持密切合作。
ABB, which employs some 7,000 researchers globally, sees people as its most valuable asset. It collaborates closely with more than 100 leading universities around the world, including Tsinghua University.
中国是ABB全球第二大市场，也是ABB全球重要的生产和研发基地。在过去一年中，ABB中国研发团队提交的专利申请数量同比增长11%。
China is the second-largest market for ABB and one of its most important manufacturing and R&D bases. Last year, the China R&D team filed 11 percent more patent applications than 2019.
