Cricket's Olympic return draws an enthusiastic response from around the world_我的网站

A |     MUMBAI, India -- MUMBAI, India (AP) — Cricket's return to the Olympic program for the 2028 Los Angeles Games drew an enthusiastic response from around the world.Cricket, a bat-and-ball game that is hugely popular in south Asia, was one of five sports added to the LA Games by the International Olympic Committee on Monday. Flag football, baseball-softball, lacrosse and squash were also included.“After a wait of more than a century, our beloved sport is back on the Olympic stage,” former India captain Sachin Tendulkar wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “This marks the dawn of a new era for cricket as it will be a golden opportunity to foster inclusivity and showcase new talent from emerging cricketing nations. A start of something truly special!”Monday's decision was made at an IOC meeting in Mumbai, the Indian city that will host five matches at the ongoing Cricket World Cup.Cricket was last played at the Olympics in 1900, but the game is played at other multi-sport events like the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games.“Players will get the chance to compete for an Olympic gold medal and be part of the games, which will be so special,” said Mithali Raj, a former India women's cricket team captain. “It’s also a chance for more fans around the world to enjoy our fantastic sport.”For the last two years, the International Cricket Council has been working extensively with the IOC for inclusion at the Los Angeles Games.“To have the opportunity to showcase our great sport at the LA28 Games and hopefully many Olympic Games to come, will be great for players and fans alike,” ICC chairman Greg Barclay said.The ICC hoped the Olympics, which has an estimated audience of more than 3 billion, will provide an opportunity for cricket to “engage new audiences and further boost the sport’s reach across the world, opening the door to a new generation of cricket enthusiasts.”Another Indian cricket great, Sunil Gavaskar, was also excited for the players to mingle with athletes from around the world.“That is totally fantastic, isn’t it?” Gavaskar said while commentating during Australia's cricket match against Sri Lanka. “What an experience it’ll be for every team, and particularly the Indian team, to be able to see what the Olympic village is like, to be able to spend time with other athletes, other champions.”In Australia, the governing body of the sport in the country praised the decision as a chance to expand further afield.“This is a game-changer for our sport that is already among the fastest growing in the world,” Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley said. “The Olympic Games will undoubtedly increase the global reach of cricket, inspiring a whole new generation to love and play the game.”Cricket at the Los Angeles Olympics will be a six-team event for both men and women and will be played in the Twenty20 format.Los Angeles organizing committee sports director Niccolo Campriani said the format will be “appealing to the younger crowd.”“We are thrilled to welcome the world’s second-most popular sport with an estimated 2.5 billion fans worldwide,” Campriani said. “Some of you might be wondering why in LA? Well, the commitment to grow cricket in the U.S. is real, and it’s already happening with the launch of the very first Major League Cricket season earlier this year, which exceeded all expectations. And the (men’s) T20 World Cup in 2024 coming to U.S. and West Indies.”___AP Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games。     8 月 25 日消息，亚马逊正在开发新一代高度自动化仓库，利用人工智能和机器人技术处理包裹，将物流自动化延伸到配送前的最后一个环节。根据 Business Insider 查阅的一份上月内部规划文件，这项内部代号为“Project Tetromino”的计划旨在打造“完全自动化”的配送站。配送站是物流流程中的最后一个设施，从履约中心接收已经打包的商品，然后进行分拣和暂存，最后交由司机配送给客户。文件显示，亚马逊计划在 2028 年投入 1.03 亿美元（注：现汇率约合 6.94 亿元人民币）启动 Tetromino 试点项目，随后在 2029 年建设 5 个站点，并于 2030 年再增加 10 个站点。文件称，2029 年每个站点的建设成本可能约为 8,500 万美元（现汇率约合 5.73 亿元人民币），到 2029 年，Tetromino 项目的累计投资将超过 5.3 亿美元（现汇率约合 35.72 亿元人民币）。文件还指出，Tetromino 的包裹处理速度可能达到现有配送站设计的约 2.5 倍。亚马逊发言人向 Business Insider 表示，这目前只是一个“早期阶段的概念”，文件中提到的具体财务数据和项目路线图“并不准确，也不代表我们当前的计划”。

B | 这名发言人表示：“我们一直在整个运营体系中探索和测试新技术，以提高安全性并改善客户的配送体验。和任何处于早期阶段的概念一样，这是我们定期评估的众多项目之一，随着我们不断获得新的经验和信息，相关计划也会发生很大变化。”Tetromino 项目展示了亚马逊试图自动化其物流网络中一些最难实现自动化的环节。

C | 行业分析师指出，在配送站内整理包裹并将其装载到配送车辆等工作，目前仍然很难实现自动化，而且成本高昂。该项目正值亚马逊加速推进仓库自动化之际。亚马逊在 7 月最新一次财报电话会议上表示，公司预计 2026 年将把机器人机械臂的数量增加一倍以上。Business Insider 此前还报道称，亚马逊正在部署一种软件，能够根据工作量变化自动推荐仓库员工应该被安排到哪些岗位。亚马逊面临的“俄罗斯方块”挑战根据这份规划文件，Tetromino 的一项关键技术可能来自 AI 和机器人供应链初创公司 Boxbot。Boxbot 的系统可以将传送带上的包裹转移到托盘中进行存储，然后利用 AI 将包裹取出并按照配送顺序进行排列。

D | Boxbot 官网称，其系统可以将车辆装载过程提速至原来的 10 倍。Tetromino 这个名称本身可能也是在致敬俄罗斯方块游戏，意指如何高效地将大量包裹排列、装入配送车辆，本身就是一个类似拼图的难题。

E | 亚马逊并不是唯一一家试图实现这些环节自动化的企业。联邦快递正在扩大 AI 驱动的 Dexterity 机器人应用，这些机器人能够自主将包裹装入拖车；UPS 和 DHL 则已经使用机器人进行卸货。亚马逊发言人还提到了公司去年宣布的一批配送站试点项目。这些项目属于亚马逊对欧洲物流设施 7 亿欧元（现汇率约合 54.99 亿元人民币）投资计划的一部分，其中包括能够自动卸载、分拣和扫描包裹的机器。

F | 随着物流设施越来越自动化，一个问题也随之出现：未来亚马逊的仓库究竟还需要人类完成哪些工作？亚马逊机器人业务负责人 Tye Brady 此前曾表示，机器人旨在让一线工作更加安全、高效，而不是取代员工。不过，Business Insider 此前报道称，亚马逊内部预测，未来十年部分仓库机器人将使公司的招聘增长曲线趋于“平缓”。亚马逊发言人表示，公司在配送站推进的相关项目“旨在与员工相互配合并赋能员工，而员工始终是我们运营模式的核心”。
