a multi tasking season. modern mess because if we do too much, we had it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary, it's sometimes hard to keep pace with high tech developments, but intelligent robots are helping us go higher faster and further. think of this, i think we'll be able to improve the lives of millions of people that can come on the ground under water and in the skies. a range of innovative ideas are making the world a safer place the

shortly before their actual destination. this driver sees something that might be of interest to his european passenger. yeah. yeah. yeah. have a yeah. so sure. i feel that this is tom for them is the 1st time in malawi, the 32 year old german has big plans. and what he sees here is most encouraging to do the checkups. yeah. yeah. so not inside the people come yeah, yeah. and you treat them who despise people. it's a good example for showing what it's really like, cuz here a clinic with new electricity or water and monday morning for people based

certainly gets help once a month just like i use misplaced turning off with forced to that area is there about 6 by 6 meters, it could definitely be another hub to connect to our network must be i'm new problems and that's big, big time, hopefully a hub in this case, being a mini airfield, the not for plains. but for drugs, the operations and consumer who have been running for for years to actually to find the door and the operations that you, if you want to show me around, i'm happy, but i don't want to stopped operation the so good to you guys. i love to see the latest model of the drone. the $198.00 applies, that speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour and can ferry a payload of 5 kilograms to a destination. 65 kilometers away. as the wind comes here,

is the brainchild of talking to me. you can see the drone there might be the quotes, had the biggest impact on me and who i am today is my time and gone to a west africa on of so it was people were dying there simply because medication wasn't available when it was needed. i mean with the data, was it dr. beasen? yeah, sides or to the moment i saw it too. and if we can help to change things, we must, which is why we're doing what we do here and see from get stuff off of almost all at the tone when i just thought i've been studied film at college, back in germany, just american wonder to buy the technology available on the team and come with us, especially drones able to fly anywhere. phone coming in is i can smoke some so and you know, i know use them to transport medication coming in or stepping on me to come in to financing. that was 7 years ago since then, the bomb or film student has founded a cargo drone company together with like minded engineers. and i t specialist,

an enterprise earning millions and sales from commercial delivery services operating in 15 countries around the world. but tom has never lost sight of his humanitarian goals, those medical and social because you with this, we now have over 20 young local people who have learned everything from scratch. we wouldn't lay drops. so in addition to improving and saving lives by supplying vaccines with oratory samples, blood reserves, and medicine, and then we really can also create jobs. would you do this? and some of these young people now have a job as well paid and involves future technology, which is great, but he does is i can use this lessons altima and now and consume of the future. technology is being used to provide basic medical care to over a 100000 people. so he just received an order from we have access to him

to they have run out of medicine and now we pick it up 3 inches and draw on and send that makes it good. them the list, it's become the list we get. let us know what's needed in real time, and i think good in this casey skin. there's also hospital pharmacy, this stock, some medication that come in, which is not available. item the village is, let's see. it has an indifferent 4 kilometers away from the plane top is the main hospital of cause some good the medical supplies in the drones, the transport them are funded by the german ministry for economic cooperation and development. and the malawi and health authorities, the limits change. anything else from the small clinics in the countryside are difficult to reach, trusting with poor infrastructure and routes, and the drug can solve that problem in

a matter of minutes via the air. losing this problem, we can pick up the items here called the hospitallers. of course, happy that the clinic center normally difficult to reach. i know suddenly being supplied short notice includes ebony but as the batteries are inserted and final checks are performed, the weather has cons considerably since the tropical storm a few days ago the in the swiss city of zurich, other innovative mindset, created an odd looking contraption made of plastic and aluminum its makers called the canine looking creature, any mile, due to its ability to go anywhere, its battery operated and can walk see field climb and lie down for rest. all on its own. inventor peter funk house built his 1st robot over 10 years ago. while

studying at zuric technical university. he helped develop anymore and now directs a team of 110 people going through the hobbies when i was a kid. i was fascinated to find moving parts of the thing and i sold it small solar cells from an electrical storm to somebody. they got motors to see what was possible, accessing the vitamin, come with them through boston with legal space, and i later got into programming and that's how all the hardware and software came together with rep politics. again, at the center, this intimate the state, a guy has turned any money into a small robo dog, the canal monitor industrial facilities and certainly alarm when it detects irregularities. this human error is still the number one cause of accidents and the robot doesn't make these mistakes. so we can ensure safe operations while keeping individuals out of danger. so when i was sticking it in direct sense,

the robot saves lives at the vapor the current edition has already been try it out in working environments, considered high risk for humans. tasks involving carol as heights. but we're gas leak. skinner. it also has no trouble of working in total darkness for west conditions. the, the, the new model will soon be tested as a guard and sniffer dog for used by one of the world to largest corporations. but 1st, the quandary fed has to master it, challenging training course is i'm well, it's in my mind and peter funk, how is the start the test that we're getting now on the docking station fully charged and ready for deployment. expedite kind of looks like i said, we'll have the same set up at the client's premises with the robot ready to go. and

us starting the mission from here, so i'll send you stuff the as well. so this is a test mission. the robot goes up and to read the display, then goes off. his desk comes back down and scans a few of the elements and 1000 thanks to it's regular and thermal imaging cameras, any miles can analyze what it's seeing and for the data. and crucially, for working in industrial plants, it can scale stairs, sensors and the legs enabled the machine to feel the ground underneath. with that information stored by the unit, it learns continuously from every training session. test mission completed. perfect . as of now we can send it on its way. so 2nd the client is b a s f that's headquarters, and lunatics. huffman covers some 10 square kilometers,

one of the largest chemical complexes in the world. the workforce at 39000 works on building blocks for everything from plastics and pains to solvents and if he sits. but they developed a is a robotics expert at the company and is eager to see how the 4 legged help her affairs on its maintenance tour. okay. very good starts literally on the ground. and in a minute i'm expecting the robot to deliver what it promises. so so what was your 1st please be as of this testing, a range of models from different suppliers. any more x can be leased for around $8000.00 euros per month. this is the 1st time we're going to these 2 points to look at the displays and then take the thermal image of the 2 pump sunday. it detects the pressure display and then interprets the information the defense. i

guess that once we look at the 2nd one, we'll see that it's up and running, then it's on the side, downtown them in the end of the say, i think the last thing the, the 1st test involves any more relaying another thermal image to the display which it does, it also passes test number 2, walking across a grid floor. now the ultimate challenge. yeah, this is the best one. the robot has to scale these 2 sections of standard, fully autonomously for potential client b ss. this is the make or break the test, the scripts please physically, it managed to hit those target locations and make its way up. the standards of, of, of the paper. a full sized suburbans can come to mind

a milestone for us. right now my understanding of this k 9 is no cuddly companion made of metal and trained with a guy. it's a fully fledged guard and watch dog the malawi ranks among the poorest countries in the world. intact roads or a rarity which hampers the provision of medical care, especially in rural areas. while infant mortality is following it, still 10 times higher than in germany, for example, the delivery of medication has been prepared for a remote village. the drone is almost ready for take off at the air field outside consumer it's other so with the medicine that on board, the drone is about to take off vertically. but i live at and these,

and then i'll be driving to the village with andy to see what a challenge that is. it's a direct comparison between how it used to be met with a drug defense and you admitted one of the car and drove and we'll both be setting off from the custodial air field. their destination is the village of live ac, about 48 kilometers away. the drone find its destination via gps coordinates. tom to my is joined by on the percentage when comforters, head of humanitarian programs. the, the wing comforter is a helicopter and small airplane in one. the vertical take off brings the machine to its flying altitude of about 30 meters. then the rotors tilt 90 degrees to propel the comforter forwards with lift provided by the wings. just like a plain the only paid roads in malawi are those connecting the main towns and

cities once they leave them to him too much and his team continued their journey on dirt tracks the city and the ho his it is through. okay. compared to what we would see now is this the worst it so yes, there is still a good road. yes. this is 15 minutes after starting out. the drone is just a few kilometers away from its destination. while the car is having serious trouble getting through the mud and potholes the, the land route is clearly losing the race. as the cars progress goes from slow to a complete halt. the

the, the, the delivery drone reaches its destination without incident and lands on schedule. it needed precisely 20 minutes for the 48 kilometers flight. in the same time, the car is not even covered, half the distance and now it's stuck to business like really capacitors. that means that when people, you know how deep the water is, you have to give them a name. oh ok. let's go slice can. can we, can we go and check if there's a way around? yeah, i think that it'd be best flooding is not uncommon during the rainy season. a potential disaster if this were a medical emergency thompson that is determined to continue his journey, even though he's lost the race against the wing comforter.

back in germany, in the port of hamburg, we joined a 30 strong research team working to save the ocean's. fits so can you close 30 percent? scooby 20 or 30 centimeters above the sea bed? yeah, the research project is called see clear. apply on the words clear view and clean sea step on, so it's not sky and his international team have a boat packed with high tech to help them clean up waters that are both murky and polluted the conan. as often as we can find things and grabs them with real bucks, i've seen that kind of immune them, and then these ones operate under one chair. so what about the bottom you, mr. so why not is use them to tackle this big problem of legion, or other methods?

it cannot help uncommon the house for the wrong foot. one is a challenge for us is extremely complex. nature of the set of next assist you in this whole team is you need everything to work together for the entire system to function at all with this, cuz i'm, this is team, it will help fulton, you in kind of different ultimately we need at least some kind of solution that's a genuine help because there's far too much marine, which are on the see that often we have is conflict marine debris washing up on beaches is a growing challenge for an environmental activist. the vast majority of it is on the sea bed. at depths too dangerous for divers, it's estimated that there is far in excess of a $100000000.00 tons of waste in our oceans the to see clear research team have successfully completed an initial trial run here in croatia.

robots able to work at depths of up to 500 meters, can be used to clean the sea, been near ports and coastlines, at least after scanning the c panel, locating a spot with a lot of garbage. the boat drops a robot into the water to transmit close up images. additional data is provided by an airborne surveillance strong. another robot can then go and pick up the debris and collected in a waste basket. st. clair is an a you funded project that provides a small scale demonstration of how the c bed might in the future be cleaned up on a far larger scale. the trial run and croatia was a success and hammer the same technical set of faces a far tougher task. the bottom of the river elbow is covered in silver settlement

and money making garbage. they are often invest both to the naked eye. even the cameras fitted onto the little diving robots struggle to see anything. the inc. lots and i won't give you in croatia. we had about 20 to 25 meters visibility here. it's 25 centimeters. let's see. so you can see here how we can't even recognize objects that were practically right next to. so that doesn't exactly make it any easier to find that identify things that you did different sealants within the port visibility means they must deploy an ultra sound scanner to search for objects these to brian, to sponsor the 2 and the many trays where we have stored the garbage onto shines. it's no time for the robots to take over. the only thing the team can do now is operate the cameras. while the mothership puts the waste basket in place on the

bottom of the river, the observation robots and starts looking for debris with a camera and so not ok. now a 2nd robot fitted with a ripper is launched. we would manage to find the bottle detected by the so not that good i think refer, seems to be right over it says it's not too close that i 5 and it's grabbed it. that's how much it's not, it's costing a firm. hold on the bottle. how does this lesson? so now we can get going and the system will place it in the basketball club. i believe it's a mammoth undertaking for one plastic model. the project is often a thankless task. as is typical for research, we have a sediment prove to tough a challenge for the artificial intelligence of a discount could be the basket. the task

to like the best we have the basket. does that make sounds tiny, deleted the grip or managed to find the waste basket. despite being practically blind, it's next task is to locate the entry hole for depositing the bottle. it's like it's of also is moving and we've recovered it. i'm good, good job. nice. yeah there's and we've just managed to grab the bottle at the 1st attempt item, which is great, but because that's a major milestone for our project on google by the stipends of what it gives us reassurance. that'd be nice to see what else we can achieve from the something is the future is eventually having these systems get all over the world and come to clean up the sea and go some ways of freeing it from the legacy. ever since. i've

lost my positive wisdom. define the underwater trash collection system works regardless of visibility. conditions with no need for divers. the only human being required in future will be the person emptying the waste basket. the torrential rain in malawi has rendered the roads impassable when comforter boss thompson, him and his team are still trying to reach the remote village of live ways the by car. but he usually tranquil a little stream has flooded its banks the. wow, can you check how deep it is? the the water gets progressively deeper in the middle. asked to do. okay. finish

as the horse. and it's just because they knew and that's like the inside of the semester. i get the water is up to here on the lights out of it, but still the car probably won't make it and will have to import the journey. i cannot advise, this is exactly why i trying to deliver medicine quickly by car simply doesn't work . and why are drew's other perfect solution to the problem? one can know, you know, things in for the school in on their way back to consumer. the team take a short detour to the village of lynn yang y to raise a bundle lives here with her 4 children. she experienced complications with the birth of her youngest son philip a year ago. the lady was saved by help from the sky. the do, you know, got my child almost suffocated at bus co either and i was extremely scared. he was

going to die because we didn't have advice to a tube at the bonita, but luckily helped arrive just in time for that had great difficulty breathing and otherwise she would definitely have stuff that contributed to the room. the wing comforter is a small miracle for the community of 150 people and the big, the listing the the old electric drone is unloaded by my talking mcdonald, who runs the local health care center. it was he who made the emergency call for the tube to save philip. the drone make several visits a week to provide the doctor with medical supplies, the live saver 7 cents the term to man himself. the father of 2 children is personally moved by the story of little philip, the and the see you,

you good is this, you just have one. so how is kind of doing some shopping with on always you know, to this a sure thing that uh, since you was born can you can just okay. and is just inside the briefing is increasing is good. yes, he's just reading no money. no, no, no. because there's different kind of philip story shows exactly how effective our work is. in fact, like you know it, but i find it wing culture 7 years ago. this was exactly what i was hoping for us to have. so that the child like fill it in as being can survive and be sitting here now philip, he hasn't come yet. even then with that because the mother just said that she wants him to be a drone pilot, 20 years up there. and we do also train young people in your house. so when he's maybe 12 or older, he can start learning the technology on this. daniel, i'm, when he's really growing up. i think you'll be one of our brilliant employees here

in malawi, in my life. back at the wing comforter hub thompson, that takes a video call from switzerland. the world economic forum has awarded him the title of the young global leader for his commitment to actively addressing the world's most pressing issues. hello, i'm happy to meet you. i'm in the now we, uh, this is where we operate. so i visited the site. you can see in the background actually if you want, i can show you if you like it quickly and it didn't keep it as title alone opens doors on the front end because you are recognized by respected organization that does a lot of good work in the world kind of, i mean it's just so now we can suddenly sit there with ministers and see what can we do for a country like malawi, inventory, i would love to roll this outward wide. so my, my dream is to, to bring this a kind of delivery service which is in minutes life saving to any place within the was so if you, if we can team up on this,

this is why i am delighted to be part of the wedge is take sheets, accelerate, and scalar this impact we have already had some worst case. all right, and then we'll just quickly introduce, have and say what we're doing here. we have 3 hub about 30 delivery sites and we have a team of 9 pilots that are running the operations. so it's really wonderful. thank you. and that can show you the joint. it's like a few minutes or winston. yeah, you can put the batteries in and below is actually the pain or and then uh yeah, we haven't whole f here with you. tom is one of the 100 young people around the world to be commended in 2023 for their efforts to provide solutions to humanitarian or climate related problems. most of them are, but you have to work with decision makers. just make them aware of situations like this, especially with the suffering and the solution. you mind actually creating something that will change things in the long term. doesn't end up come explain this fear. in today's world, with all the modern means available,

is unacceptable for some people to get nothing of what we have unless the, this is no, we haven't really privilege lives in germany and leaving this when you come here and see what other people really don't have. if you think look is miss, how can i not do more this, it never leaves my mind enough to him, and the system is dispossessed with miss, i'm listening to dedicated to minutes. joining forces with intelligent machines, as they seek to eliminate hazards and saved lives with high tech help, the

is this, the game changes the energy transitions more modern, more efficient, and produced in germany. this solar panel intends to break the chinese dominant, but it still needs a lot of work and high subsidies. competition of the solar energy is heating up, made into a 30 minute. d, w, the,

the the, this is the, the news why from berlin. israel says it's forces have entered guns as big as hospital. these really military says, especially trained troops, are carrying out a targeted operation against the mos in part of the l. she for hospital complex aid organizations, a warning it could make the great humanitarian situation even worse. also coming up the you case, top court rules, a controversial migration policy is unlawful. the british government wants to stop asylum seekers from arriving on the english coast. installed the.
