confines that to a wheelchair, hunting for a job, to be in a painful experience until she found the one cafe since the 24 year old mazda is okay with adults. i had applied to so many jobs after i finished university, but i didn't get any offers. like google more. it made me very sad, amazing depressed. well, i did move and i began thinking that i'd never be able to work with it. i was wondering what should i do when i came across this pilot position? quite a with you. it was amazing to work now. we're placing it to the. so maybe you could say it was my last hope. okay, sounds good. today. well, i feel grateful when customers have a good time with me. i feel like, oh, when someone asks me when i'll be working next, the more i thought i was going to my i tried to know that that was the best the all

with ken tower 6 to take advantage of the social potential of new technologies. with us as you and so we don't want to use artificial intelligence robots to make our work more efficient or to reduce the number of people. but rather to create ways we can work, even if we become fedbid and we're unable to move our bodies back in. oh, you bustle, think goose title like you raise visiting? don't cafe for the 1st time. she wasn't sure what to expect from the experience, but she quickly gets used to interacting with the report on the task. i think it's a great project and i hope we can use this as a start in point to expand on in the future in the state of political. and i'm almost to still keep that that i don't not see. i think it's hard for me to see the connections that have be made between people through robots not according to

a nationwide survey on loneliness in isolation published earlier this year, some 40 percent of people in japan, at least occasionally feel lonely at this cafe robots help overcome social isolation, but for the pilots and for the customers. don't cafe is a great example of how technology can help people connect with experts. one it can also make us feel was especially social media. the minutes as a sophie ologist at cologne, institute for social research and policy. we put the question to what the digitalization is bringing us closer together or driving us further apart. the o bows be continued, digitalization can help against learn. i know. we can find strange as to connect with online and talk about how come an interest ups or troubles, or it can help us close the door in power because we no longer feel left alone without worries or concerns. or in terms of our preferences,

come next and then mr. gonzalez, will the team with a 40 inches i'm but the online world can also make us feel more lonely repeatedly comparing yourself to others on social media can have a negative impact on self esteem. and people who are predominantly cultivate digital friendships, may develop problems with real life friendships when i'm online all the time that can lead to me folding out for me to so with the real world interaction out. and that can reinforce social anxieties, which in turn promote learning that seems to push the room and they've got the constituents in are a high driven tools like replicas, checkbox that can help with loneliness. these are program to, to if they're users and check in regularly. but we shouldn't get too reliant on them, says doctor addendum it's regularly communicating with real people is vital process

to get tired of this at what digital technology hasn't been able to replace. and this is very important as into personal haptic touch, physical contact such as touching, hugging, and so on. that raises the question of what the technology should imitate, human physical context, or even try to replace it to the email to confuse personally, i would always argue for strengthening real world into personal contact. and oh yes . and that room, everyone needs physical contacts, but not everyone has the same level of access to it to get a license to go through. like a physical contact is something people in long distance relationships also struggle with. i mean, nobody to call can replace the kids. right. and it's not always possible to just hop on the train and visit your partner. but now that's a device that could help really conducts the synthetic needs, can bring your partner's case to you. the idea was full, enjoying the curve of 19 look downs in china. long last touch,

it simulates your partner's look, movements from us off the table. i related the essentially people will find the space and time again for emotional communication that turns out that's the best part. just like the invention of we chat or even the telephone. so it doesn't isolate people from one another. it makes people communicate more frequently and at a lower cost to go to a computer. i told them to use the device uses paid to the lips, shake machines and plug them into the charging for the smartphones which they've been used to video quote, it records uses costanza. 3 motion senses and sends it to the paid device. it even moves up slightly. as we use the kisses, giving us a more expensive touch on the streets of beijing, opinions on the silicon lips differ. i think it's a necessary male vialva. you should get addicted to it. oh, it is all right. it's not some perverse toy. it's for private use,

so there's no problem built up on the best. the device costs the equivalent of 35 years. and in china, there's a demand for the site clips in the 1st 2 weeks off to release at least 3000 devices, footboards, and 20000 pre ordered. robots designed to serve as friends or companions are especially popular in japan. one of them is nobody from the what's not a robot. nobody has googly, eyes swamped, attached and execute sounds like that. it's also pretty smart. cameras and sensors give a 306 digit revision autonomous movement and allow it to distinguish people from objects. why a thermal imaging, but robots, really be the pets of the future. in japan, these little guys have cost quite booster. we'd love a robot program for companionship. since it's launched in 201910000 of them had been sold in the country. nobody uses 50 sensors to gauge its owners move to learn

some people's behavior similar to how a pet but it's a therapeutic role robust, much like an emotional support animal, but can robots replace real pets or even humans at tokyo's major university professor tucker know to come up to studies how humans interact with various artifacts. as robots become more common, he's analyzing how our relationship to them is evolving. so middle decay is a goal. the robots are how be appearing. those are very famous them on our comics. then there's so many people's or go to somebody about the robots, then they're the easiest. so emotionally, the, oh ok, try to create a degree of a robot to end up like to the, our daily lives to resolve the social service. social issues like an aging society . and the lack of workers in a recent survey, professor comments to ask people in japan and the us how they would use robots and situations which separate us from our loved ones, like the pandemic results underlying

a higher affinity to robots in japan. u. s. people want to use a robot just as a tool to communicate we 0 economy is because in sales we want to contact the weights of how many of these. but the japanese parties front data they want to use a robot that instead of a robot, dog or cat, isn't like the real thing in generally, the robots of today falls short of what we've seen and films are cartoons is verbal . the assume i lays a robot or that kind of has a very the politics problem that's about what you can do. everything that, that's what's kinda working the hosp locks. and also the can do the homework instead of just doing the hands of something like that tomorrow. but the comments, particularly rainbow or the roberts is not really high, then the so many people's are the notice on the roads is not very good. the as compared to the all wise residential then the so many people's are either definitely need to be so robust, which you want to love and your life. personally,

i'd go for a real talk. even if that doesn't mean cleaning up after it. it's great that we have robotic pets, chatbox, or chat rooms to help us connect and come about loneliness. but we clearly need to find the right balance. the goal should be to connect virtually and, and real life. because even the small, just to con, completes, it replaced human interaction. what do you think? can tech ever really q and loneliness? auction would be prioritize in something else. let us know by writing and thanks for watching and see you next time. the this suddenly a keen interest in in there, which is great for us fashion,
