English term
Robotic Heart
English to Chinese
Medical
Medical: Cardiology
The artificial or “robotic” heart has a chamber for hydraulic fluid and one for blood, separated by a membrane.. A motorized pump moves hydraulic fluid in and out of the chambers, and that fluid moves the membrane to let blood flow through. Embedded sensors automatically adapt blood flow to a person’s needs in any given moment. For example, if a person’s exercising, then blood flow will increase.
I am wondering whether the author uses the term "robotic heart" because the device can adjust the flood flow according to the patient's activities. Thanks in advance.

这张文学插图灵感来源于艾萨克·阿西莫夫的机器人短篇中的《分离主义者》，讲述的是在未来世界，一名医生企图说服一位病人使用仿生心脏而不是机器人心脏，医生宁愿人类和机器人坚持自己的样子而不是变得相似，而文章的结尾发现医生是一名机器人。文中根据机器人学三定律的规则来探讨人与机器人之间的关系，他们会因为彼此不同的身份认知产生情感冲撞，在这样荒谬的情节下带给我巨大的情感冲击，产生顿悟，因此我用综合材料表达冲突感和混乱的氛围。This literature illustration is inspired by Isaac Asimov's robotic short "Segregationist", which tells the future of a doctor trying to persuade a patient to use a bionic heart instead of a robotic heart. Doctors would rather humans and robots insist on their appearance rather than become similar, and the end of the article found that the doctor is a robot. The article explores the relationship between humans and robots according to the rules of the three laws of robotics. They will have emotional collisions because of their different identity cognitions. In such a ridiculous plot, it brings me a huge emotional shock and produces an epiphany，so I use a combination of materials to express a sense of conflict and chaos.

| Randy, 从目前来看，您的答案应该是最好的。刚才和爸爸通话，特意问他，听到“机器人心脏“ 马上联想到什么，他回答到”把一个机器心脏植入人体“。 我本来担心机器人心脏可能让人误解为装在机器人身上的心脏，现在听到一个不懂英文的人的回答，就比较放心了 :) 谢谢分享科幻小说的翻译。我很喜欢这些东西。我前两天听说李开复写了一本新书，叫《人工智能 - 2041》 (AI - 2041)，不知在国内是否已经出版了，英文版九月在美发行。里面有很多怪诞不经的小故事，引人对人工智能的思考。我想如果您也喜欢科幻，可能对李开复的这本书也会感兴趣。 Thank you again for your contribution. |

机器人套管心脏
一个机器人套管在不接触血液的情况下支撑心脏泵血。

Note from asker:
| 您的建议很开拓思路。我看过您的引文后，感觉 "robotic heart" 和引文中的套管还不太一样。'Robotic Heart' 是一种新的人工心脏，有血液流经。它和传统人工心脏的区别在于它可以根据病患的活动来调节泵血量。还是非常感谢您的答案 🙏 |

智能人工心脏
If it can sense the body's needs and pump accordingly, then it is a smart artificial heart (智能人工心脏).

I don't think the author uses the term "robotic heart" because the device can adjust the flood flow according to the patient's activities, because robots have different levels of sophistication. Some robots are quite rudimentary.
A Google search of "robotic heart" yielded no relevant results in the first 3 pages. The results were all "robotic heart surgery (robotic-assisted heart surgery)".

| Hello Kiet, good catch. You are right about different sophistication levels for robots. Haha, I now feel a bit (just a bit) guilty for misleading in my question. But I have to agree with you that "robotic" doesn’t seem to mean the same thing as “smart.” |
Discussion
所以，robotic heart真要译出来的话，译成“机械心脏”似乎也是个不错的选择。网上搜索过了，“机械心脏”似乎也不少。
