Vairumam doktorantūras studijas un doktora grādu ieguvušie simbolizē akadēmiskus panākumus un saistās ar pētniecību un pasniedzēja darbu augstskolās, taču pieredze rāda, ka liela daļa doktorantūras studentu nemaz nesaista savu dzīvi ar zinātni. Vai doktora grāds var būt arī hobijs vai praktisks darbs sabiedrības labā? Ko īsti nozīmē studijas doktorantūrā un cik dažādi var būt doktorantūras virzieni, raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Latvijas Universitātes Doktorantūras skolas direktore, profesore Zanda Rubene, Latvijas Jauno Zinātnieku apvienības priekšsēdētājs, Elektronikas un datorzinātņu institūta pētnieks Oskars Teikmanis un Latvijas Kulturas akadēmijas 2. kursa doktorante Dita Šķēle. Oskars Teikmanis ikdienā nodarbojas ar robotiem un mašīnmācīšanos. Viņš strādā pie metodēm, kā iemācīt robotiem un citām līdzīgām ierīcēm kustēties visādos interesantos un noderīgos veidos. To viņš arī pēta doktorantūras ietvaros Dita Šķēle ikdienā strādā Latvijas dabas fondā, bet doktorantūrā studē Kultūras akadēmijā kino zinātnes jomā. Viņa atzīst, ka laika gaitā gribētu vairāk savu ikdienu saistīt ar kino un akadēmisko vidi. "Man šķiet, ka doktorantūra ir labs veids, kā nodrošināt sev tādu intelektuālu spriedzi, jo rakstīšana vismaz mani ļoti audzina.  Pētniecības process, kas nozīmē, ka man ir jālasa, šī informācija ir kaut kādā veidā jāstrukturē, man šai iegūtajai informācijai ir jāliek klāt tas, ko es par to domāju, un jāmācās arī skatīties filmas un tās analizēt. Tad es bieži vien sevi pieķeru tādā paviršumā, gan tajā, ka es nevaru koncentrēties. (..) Man šķiet, ka tas ir ļoti labs vingrinājums rakstura audzināšanai, bet, protams, nav jābūt doktorantūrā, lai to darītu. Vienkārši akadēmiskā vide, kurā es redzu, ka citi to dara un ka citi ir ļoti ieinteresēti, tas arī motivē," vērtē Dita Šķēle. "Ar laiku sapratu, ka mani uzrunā brīvības sajūta, ko var iegūt no pētniecības, ka es jau esmu izstudējis kaut ko ļoti tehnoloģisku tehniski sarežģītām lietām, mani interesētu tas, ka es tagad varu vienkārši skatīties, kuros virzienos iespējams iet ar šīm zināšanām. Tajā brīdī sapratu, ka pētniecība ir tas formāts, kā ar inženierzinātnēm var ļoti interesantos veidos nodarboties un ieviest savā dzīvē tādu nedrošības aspektu, nedaudz azartu," pieredzē dalās Oskars Teikmanis. Kas īsti ir doktorantūras laiks - tā ir intelektuālā spriedze un brīvības sajūta, interesants hobijs vai neiztrūkstošs ķieģelītis karjeras kāpnēs?  "Doktorantūras uzdevums ir sasniegt divus rezultātus. Viens rezultāts ir pētījums par robotiku, par kino, un otrs ir palīdzēt tapt pētniekam. Un tas pētnieks būtībā ir akadēmiski domājošs, precīzus spriedumus veidojošs, zinātkārs cilvēks. Latvijā vidēji 35 gadus vecs. Jaunais doktors ir no ļoti smalka klubiņa, "crem de la crem" no visas sabiedrības, jo mums Latvijā zinātņu doktoru diemžēl ir pārāk maz. Ja vidēji Eiropas Savienībā tas ir 1% no populācijas, mums ir 0,4%. Mums ir par maz," norāda Zanda Rubene. Viņa atsaucas uz raidījumus Zināmais nezināmajā, kurā bija saruna par lāčiem Latvijā, kurā minēja, ka Latvijā ir 150 lāči. "Mana tēze ir tāda, ka satikt lāci Latvijā ir aptuveni tikpat liela iespēja kā satikt šajā gadā aizstāvējušos doktorantu, jo 2023. gada statistika ir tāda, ka aizstāvējās 158 jaunie zinātņu doktori, lai gan iestājās 822. Būtībā mūsu šī brīža likumdošana ir izveidota tā, ka tas procents, kuri patiešām iegūst doktora grādu no kopējā doktorantu skaita, ir visai neliels. 2023. gadā bija 3350 doktoranti Latvijā," atklāj Zanda Rubene. "Tas ir iemesls, kādēļ no šī gada esam uzsākuši jaunā doktorantūras modeļa īstenošanu un ir lielas cerības, ka to lāčiem līdzīgo kļūs arvien vairāk." Par to, kāpēc cilvēki izvēlas studēt doktorantūrā, Zanda Rubene atsaucas uz kādu konferencē dzirdētu britu profesora teikto, ka ir trīs iemesli - statuss, nauda vai prieka pēc, vislabāk, ka visi šiem iemesli ir kopā.  Oskars Teikmanis papildina, arī atsaucoties uz sarunām ar citiem doktorantiem, ka viens no populārākajiem iemesliem doktorantūras studiju izvēlei ir prieka aspekts.  Noslēgumā zinātnes ziņas Kas ir 21. gadsimta, kā arī visu laiku citētākās zinātniskās publikācijas? Kāds tam var piekrist, kāds ne, bet skaidrs ir tas, ka, virzoties uz priekšu zinātnē un tiecoties pēc doktora vai vēl augstāka akadēmiskā grāda, aizvien lielāka nepieciešamība ir pēc zinātniskām publikācijām. Un šoreiz tieši par publikācijām aizvadītās nedēļas laikā ir bijis vēstīts vietnē “Nature”, aprakstot gan 21. gadsimta, gan arī visu laiku citētākās zinātniskās publikācijas. Un tas arī ir skaidrs - jo vairāk uz kādu zinātnisko publikāciju kāds atsaucas, to citē, jo nozīmīgāk tā tiek vērtēta. Aizvadīts pasaulē pirmais pusmaratons, kurā piedalījušies roboti Vietnē “Kursors.lv” aprakstīts, ka aizvadītajā sestdienā, 19. aprīlī, Pekinas tehnoloģiju centrā “E-Town” risinājies pasaulē pirmais pusmaratons, kurā piedalījušies roboti. Skrējienā kopumā piedalījies 21 cilvēkveidīgais robots, kas sacenties ar vairākiem tūkstošiem cilvēku. Tiesa, pēc šī pasākuma secinājums ir viens - vēl tāls ceļš ejams, līdz roboti sastādīs nopietnu konkurenci dzīviem sportistiem. Kāpēc žāvāšanās ir lipīga? Vietnē “Live Science” vēstīts par žāvāšanos un tās “lipīgumu”, un to vairums būt pamanījis - līdzko nožāvājas viens, tā drīzumā gribas žāvāties citam, un tas raksturīgi ne tikai cilvēku, bet arī citu dzīvnieku sugu vidū. Izrādās, ka liela nozīme šeit ir smadzeņu šūnām, ko sauc par spoguļneironiem, un tieši spoguļneironi reaģē uz darbībām, ko mēs novērojam citos. Kā norādījis psihiatrs Čārlzs Svīts - kad kāds žāvājas, tad šie spoguļneironi “uzliesmo” (ar to domāts, ka tie vienkārši aktivizējas).  Zinātnieki ieguvuši līdz šim pārliecinošākos pierādījumus par dzīvību uz citas planētas Šī vēsts aizvadītās nedēļas laikā pāršalca daudzas zinātnes vietņu lappuses un arī pašmāju tīmekļa vietnes. Proti, zinātniekiem izdevies rast spēcīgākās norādes par bioloģisko aktivitāti, tātad dzīvības pastāvēšanu, ārpus Saules sistēmas, un te runa ir par eksoplanētu K2-18b.

It looks like humanoid robots have a long way to go before catching up with human runners. Beijing's E-Town tech hub hosted what it described as the first world's first humanoid half-marathon on Saturday, with 21 humanoid robots competing alongside thousands of humans.

The world's first half-marathon featuring humanoid robots is set to begin at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday in Beijing, with about 20 teams from across China ready to compete in a test of both technology and endurance.全球首个以人形机器人为特色的半程马拉松赛事将于周六上午7点30分北京开跑，来自全国各地的约20支队伍将齐聚一堂，角逐这项对技术和耐力的双重考验。The race, which includes human and humanoid robot runners, will begin in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, also known as Beijing E-Town. Research institutes, universities and companies from Beijing, Shanghai, provinces of Guangdong and Jiangsu are among those fielding teams.这场由真人和人形机器人参赛的比赛将在北京经济技术开发区（亦称北京亦庄）拉开帷幕。来自北京、上海、广东和江苏等地的科研机构、高校和企业均派出参赛队伍参赛。"This marks the first time humanoid robots will undergo a comprehensive test in an open-field setting, facing long distances and complex environments," said Liang Liang, deputy director of the E-Town management committee.“这是人形机器人首次在开阔场地、长距离和复杂环境下接受全面测试，”亦庄管理委员会副主任梁靓说道。Teams have already arrived at the training base in E-Town to make final adjustments, he said. The event, in planning for four months, is designed to push the limits of robotic mobility in real-world conditions.他表示，各参赛队伍已经抵达亦庄市的训练基地进行最后的调试。这项筹备了四个月的赛事旨在挑战机器人在现实环境中的移动极限。The competition will adopt a timed race format. Teams can choose to either replace the batteries of a single robot or use a relay method, though each battery change comes with a 10-minute penalty—a measure aimed at encouraging innovation and teamwork, Liang said.比赛将采用计时赛制。参赛队伍可以选择更换同一台机器人的电池，也可以选择接力赛，但每次更换电池都会被罚10分钟。梁靓表示，此举旨在鼓励创新和团队协作。Although participating robots have undergone multiple simulated tests, organizers said the real course still presents significant uncertainties. Robots will have to navigate complex ground conditions, sudden wind gusts, fluctuating communication signals and various obstacles.尽管参赛机器人已经进行了多次模拟测试，但主办方表示，真实赛道仍然存在很大的不确定性。机器人必须应对复杂路况、突发强风、通信信号波动及多种障碍。"During the first road test last Wednesday, a robot slipped and produced abnormal data, forcing the team to urgently adjust its algorithms before completing the test," Liang said.“在上周三的首次路试中，一个机器人出现滑倒并产生异常数据，迫使团队在完成测试前紧急调整算法，”梁军说道。He described the race as an "extreme test" that will expose technical flaws and offer a foundation for future standardization.他将这场比赛描述为一次“极限测试”，它将暴露技术缺陷，并为未来的标准化奠定基础。The participating robots reflect a variety of design concepts and technological breakthroughs.参赛机器人体现了多种设计理念和技术突破。The "Tiangong" robot, standing 1.8 meters tall, features large strides, optimized joint torque and human motion data integration to achieve a more natural running gait.“天宫”机器人身高1.8米，拥有大步幅、优化的关节扭矩以及融合人类运动数据的系统，可实现更自然的跑步姿态。"The core significance of this event is to allow the public to vividly experience the progress of robotics," said Guo Yijie, technical lead of the Tiangong team. "The 21-kilometer distance will shatter the public's abstract understanding of robot capabilities."“本次赛事的核心意义在于让公众生动体验机器人技术的进步，”天宫团队技术负责人郭宜劼说道。“21公里的赛程将打破公众对机器人能力的抽象认知。”Noetix Robotics, a team from Beijing's Haidian district, has entered smaller robots designed for endurance. Their goal is for one robot to complete the entire race without replacement.来自北京海淀区的松延动力团队带来了专为耐力设计的小型机器人。他们的目标是让一个机器人完成整个比赛，无需替换。"As long as our robot crosses the finish line, it means a lot to us," said Jiang Zheyuan, founder of Noetix Robotics.“只要我们的机器人冲过终点线，对我们来说就意义非凡，”松延动力创始人姜哲源说道。Local residents are also enthusiastic about the race. Chu Han, a young robot enthusiast, called it "the embodiment of technological imagination".当地居民也对这场比赛充满热情。年轻的机器人爱好者楚涵称其为“科技想象力的体现”。"Regardless of the results, when a humanoid robot crosses the finish line, the footprints it leaves behind are more precious than any medal," Chu said.“无论结果如何，当一个类人机器人冲过终点线时，它留下的足迹比任何奖牌都更加珍贵，”楚涵说道。endurance/ɪnˈdjʊərəns/n.耐力navigate/ˈnævɪɡeɪt/v.驾驶；导航；设法应对algorithm/ˈælɡərɪðəm/n.算法；运算规则standardization/ˌstændədaɪˈzeɪʃn/n.标准化
