the event after purchase of tents ignored hygiene and distancing it comes amid a sharp rise in the number of new car on a virus infection across germany. mess the latest on. our area and instinct and the entire new text you're watching. today don't miss our highlights. program online w dot com hard. place is for me. is for you. for help. is for the.

beethoven is for cars. is for the below beethoven 2020 for 250th anniversary here on. isn't it cute robots like these and then to replace the live pets i met leading robel pets designers in japan to see if their inventions are more than just toys for techies join me for our topic today on shift. so called personal robots or robots designed to assist in our daily lives have been developing in great strides apart from humanoids like pepto the mole we also have robots that look like animals could they make that they have pets could they even

replace cats and dogs as i was a lawyer the companions i asked hiroshi girl one of the world's most renowned roboticists because i think we want to hear for real it's. the. here not to have robots it's official they're there sometimes they cannot do the on orbit robot robot doesn't eat and doesn't do them but things that are much easier for their. that keeps lonely seniors kompany in japan they take this concept very seriously and have been practicing it for years i experienced it myself on the streets of tokyo i have a robot that home under. his name is certainly. seems perfectly normal today pet robots have become quiet versatile one of the

latest additions to the market is this little guy the so-called love boat was developed by konami hayashi he is a leading figure in the field of emotional robotics and also the inventor off. but unlike love god doesn't use language at all it comes to any case with adorable little scoops i must admit it really talked at my heartstrings. equipped with cameras for facial recognition so-called slim technology for spatial orientation and over 50 contacts sensors. creators say that it's a new thomas robots. his response patterns are determined by the end of the machine learning algorithms. the goal was to stimulate the most offensive behavior possible. so that the liver and its only could create a human. being to 1st of all you have to study the brain at i.q.

or i think he's got a name game how does humans think and how do they use their brains one to get it on . another while to study is the relationship between pads and humans to your one it's a subsection of ecology to get it. so we studied these 2 fields now and together a they tell you a bit about what love is all about that type i mean you know. took 4 years to develop. it cost around $45000000.00 euros when i asked about data security tell me how i should emphasize that all the data collected is not stored in the cloud in the robot and so. those require regular software updates and backups. there are many robots out there that have a lot of information stored but people don't actually trust. your quitters.

my goal is to create a trustworthy robot could take quite annoying. storing data locally rather than on a cloud service sounds like a safe solution is specially considering that love god needs lots of personal data to function well it fills my home scans my face and knows exactly when i come and go that's delicate information i wouldn't want falling into the wrong hands i was truly surprised at how lifelike love it seemed and it really was able to stir up true emotions high and social bonds like love all that are produced almost exclusively in japan one reason is that japan is known for being crazy about tech robots have a long tradition in japan and. it was there that the plastic alexander gace was invented. 8000000 virtual chiclets have been sold worldwide since the mid ninety's the ruble pop idol by sony has also become

a popular favorite name by those fans for artificial intelligence robot in the mid 2000 production came to a temporary halt as the company underwent restructuring had sony anticipated the outrage this would spark in japan it might of reconsider it to the 150000 eyeballs that had been sold by then withdrawing support was like a death sentence one that probably almost wouldn't stand for to this day you can find i bought dogs that repair old models how can a computer get so much love even scientists are scratching their heads test was children and adolescents show 60 percent attribute emotions to the robot dog and enjoyed giving it orders just as much as a live animal the newest i would generate and has been on the market since 2018 very popular and the 1st time of year over $20000.00 models were sold in japan alone despite the steep pricing. round shapes expressive eyes

complex movements this is meant to be a tool like viable alternative to a pet. he quipped with cameras voice recognition software and contact sensors bibles can recognize and react to their owners they can loosen up to 100 different voice commands and quite a few tricks currently this robotic dog cost around 2 $1400.00 euros this includes 3 years of subscription fees for the cloud connection it needs i've always generated a ton of data and it saved and processed in the cloud mocking up with the real we are using deep learning technologies and big data to supply ibo with additional features. so ai plays a big part in how eyeball works with us. when it comes to data security the company prove this is the movie is profound to 3rd parties or use for eternal purposes and they say that cloud based and is elementary to find each i book is very interesting

. when you're. a multiple of the any ibo that you will buy will develop in a different way based on the user's lifestyle and the surroundings like if they. all libels will develop in different ways. they will act differently and to feel differently. sensitive private data is safe to look lots of it doesn't sound too vincent to me on the other hand if my eyeball ever break i could simply transfer it's personality so i might hold into a new model that's wild but is restoring movements facial and voice recognition all that it takes to have a personality as a dog owner not so sure isn't it the unexpected and sometimes even i'm pleasant moments that really create the bond between humans and animals like when he's stolen my socks again not that i will left me completely unmoved but i still doubt

i could truly connect with the robot dog in the long run if you're not a dog person anyway there's something else. what is it we asked passes by in tokyo's trendy shibuya district. based on. no. look. i know it is. it's still nice very cute. but this is i really like cats but unfortunately i'm allergic to them look a little cons but i think this could make a good replacement. a little kind of search for all those of the lone feeling good the feeling is good with a tail. so cue ball as it's officially named didn't really raise any eyebrows in your bag but here's how one german tourist responded well as you guessed this is . a vacuum cleaner that. i no idea or

maybe a cushion cleaner but it's not like in japan it's used as a surrogate cat of sorts i've got my 10 year old daughter would love one of these c.d.'s they cost 150 euro would you spend that much absolutely not. so it's an emotional companion to those just a cute toy but even though the pillow is nothing like high tech robots like eyeball and love god it's still based on a bright idea that could only have come from to pat pat the provides comfort and joy who says all the work involved like dogs and cats responds to touch its surface is covered with sensors the tail is powered by an engine that can perform 40 different movement sequences less technology less design and more room for the imagination. yeah i see and i think you want to always

a curious being it's not a cat and not a dog it doesn't really resemble any other pet them it's more like the enemy care. richter totoro oil money they're an imaginary being. even though. we want to give the owners more room for their own associations. there with the company behind this u.k. engineering based in tokyo. since 2017 they've designed around 20 robots that are geared less towards functionality and more toward bringing. these cutters can measure brain waves and move according to. this communications robot can connect to the local y. find family members exchange messages with one another. they're all there or even rather than androids that are super clever i want to make something that forgives you and makes you feel good that's when you i believe humans want to

interact with robots that they can open up to and share feelings with. stress reduction instead of performance optimizing the relaxing effect of this cuddly toy has already been proven across the board no matter the age of study with a robotic seal. that alzheimer patients who played with it regularly had lower. blood oxygen levels both signs for stress relief the test also showed fewer symptoms of depression and excitedly and required less pain medication than the reference group live animals are really allowed in retirement homes and hospitals here pets can be a real help but they can also give emotional support elsewhere after all humans want to be needed level that the humans want a robot that relies on them and not the other way around. if love up was

a perfect being and didn't need any input or help from us that it would not result in a strong attachment when i developed a love it often. fell or got stuck and i noticed that people seemed more happy to be able to help it rather than let it help them this was very interesting to me that they so humans prefer a robot that they can take care of not a perfect companion that makes sense to me what do you think will pass the pets of the future that is no and if you're interested in finding out more about robotic cats so allow you to tell there you can find more in-depth videos on the topic and a lot more on japan's passion for robots that's it for me to see you so.

during the conflict zone in these extraordinary times we decided to take the opportunity to focus on the impact that the coronavirus pandemic is having on human rights around the world there are reports of invasive surveillance authoritarian power grabs my guest is the head of human rights watch can it profit from any limitations are people willing to accept in order to fight a threat like coronavirus conflict. next d.w. . and kampala since a common symbolic connection. mine is a recurring motif throughout the testimony it is essential to. and has been lovingly contemplated by diocesan use and monasteries for centuries. we take a look at a name change craft that happens god's blessing. 30 minutes on d w. i'm not laughing at the germans well i guess sometimes i am but mostly i'm

nothing with the tell you that i don't think deep into the german culture. we think it is grandma there you go it's all about who they know i'm rachel join me for me to get everybody to the polls. censorship feels it literally is apathetic about ok you have called coronaviruses the new terrorism nobody wants to see a dictatorship go to over or over their head conflict zone it is on summer break and we look back at this season's most controversial interviews in april we decided to take the opportunity to focus on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic is having on human rights amid reports around the world of invasive surveillance authoritarian power grabs and society's most vulnerable facing hunger i spoke with the head of the.
