for at least 45 minutes, thousands of volunteers lit the lamps in the city holy to hindus, where they believe ram was born. that's the latest on the back at the top of the hour, with another update for you. and there in an instant, and me and the entire team, thanks for watching in the light of climate change, what's in store for their future? pretty major cities inside enter. the fight against the corona virus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing.

measures are being taken. what does the latest research say? information and context. the coronavirus of the culbut special monday to friday. from doing the dishes, folding laundry and packing a lunch box, scientists, ice broadening the different ways it was robots could help us. how exactly could robots shape our everyday lives, or topic on ship today? to pan produces around 50 percent of the world's robots. no wonder, it's called the robot nation. this even in the official government scheme, that focuses on a new industrial revolution through robotics. but robots are commonplace in many

other areas too. in japan, where nearly 30 percent of the population is $65.00 or older, robots are more important for personal use. he is a world leading roboticist. and why do we need to have more robots that can support our? i believe they come here to the robot that kind of a robot society, the same human symbiotically in the end of the society, the future symbiotic robots, that sounds a little too was science fiction. it to me, still, many tech companies claim that their own butts can really make a difference in house work, but this is still far ahead in the future, even in japan. at the moment, most robots take care of one specific chore and leave the rest to humans like me. it is the japanese thought of however, working on the robot which they claim will take care of all housework. but that's a cat. introducing you go all around talent and future household superstar

hugo can grip his hide, adjustable and rolls on wheels. the start of your robotics promotes. hugo is a more discrete and cheaper alternative to a human cleaner. we're pretty uncommon in japan. at the moment, you go still appears to be quite slow and clumsy. but in the future, this new robot butler is supposed to be able to take on any household chore imaginable. i would like to let robots handle repetitive talks, less than a routine toss so that people can be more creative. for example, if the robot does the housework for us, we can dedicate this time to our family and how fun, that's all we have more time for us. this is how we want to improve the quality of life for people in japan. hugo's, equipped with a total of $22.00 sensors and 3 cameras to assist in navigating space and recognising objects. despite being quick with an ai system,

hugo is still incapable of doing chores properly on its own. so a staff member has to operate it by remote control. a controller synchronizes the robot's movements with those of the human operators. hugo is still a long way off from working a ton of asli. so you go is operated by someone i don't know from a remote place. what do they see? as the camera get turned off? what happens to my data? who protects my privacy? here, everybody's claim that operators only see blurry images. so do robots have to guess what they're cleaning to someone like me? that's not very convincing. i can be a bit of a neat freak. toyota is also working on a ton of those robots will help manage house work. but this one issue that is difficult to solve. the robot has to know how much pressure the sponsor needs to apply on to different surfaces to properly clean them with an expensive flat screen t.v. . the machine should be very careful when humans and robots work together. security

becomes important. this robot r.d. working with humans in japan and europe. next age is a humanoid robot, developed to collaborate with human colleagues. companies like oman and coauthor. robotics are leading the race in developing collaborative robots. these new colleagues have one importunate vantage over people. their work is precise and they never get tired. particularly we have to make serious productivity improvement. so we japanese use robots to do this. we're not going there still, the robot robotics trade fairs like iraq to tokyo show what the future workplace could look like in japan. robot production has long been a key industry around 130 companies make robots here in the past. these trade fairs

were opportunities for companies to show off big robots used in industrial production. now there's a trend toward service and partner robots. so we also, the goal or the recently the government's focus has shifted from making new robots to using them sensibly in society. so little thought are suitable to put it to you . more shock. i just saw this, they got suckered. it's coded. you and i think we need to think of robots as tools or partner will sort to reach our goal of doing a better society where people can feel good and healthy animals. but imo, you're talking with us or you struggle with us. you could talk us through a couple of years with the us. it's a big vision with a long way to go. there are still many technicalities that need to be addressed, particularly because collaborative robots are often a security risk for their human colleagues. since robots can't estimate their own

strength, next age operates in battery saving mode. 8 cameras attached to its head and arms are supposed to help the robot to analyze space. an object. interchangeable robot hands used to grant enhance its many uses, but at around 90000 euros a piece. not every company can afford this technology for right now. next stage is just working in the factory. not just double collaborative robots will be needed in a way where we're hoping that will someday be able to take it with a few structural sites. the forestry fishery homes in japan, there were not the taking away jobs that there will be there will be a core workers. that's what it is. like many other western countries, we're still prejudiced against industrial robots. here in germany, the main argument is they take away jobs, but they're leaving all something else. coworking can also make jobs easier. french

roboticist jaunts young want to go, has been working and living in japan for a long time. she says that code working with robots is viewed differently. they're very different indeed. if something was different about craftsmanship and the art of making things perfect. there is also like a very clear social care by companies to that was and so they never were introduced to replace what they do introduce more bugs to make their work. things that are working with the robot is something that is not only for like having a robot in your company. something that is really nice. this attitude that robots are cool is a sentiment that you go develop us also ship a remote control used by and operate it isn't exactly cool, but it's only a temporary measure. you will believes that intelligent machines will take on chores independently in the future. hugo's target audience or the elderly and professionals. the company believes that you can make a real difference in their lives,

but it's also expensive. depending on operating times, the monthly rental costs are between 800 to 600 euros. the upside is you go supposed to make life longer and more comfortable. you are more in the future find vision, robot and lettering on houses and doing all the new home some alone with the advancement of medical care in japan. i think that this will enable people to live longer than they did about the robots, like hugo also sought after for their ability to assist in medicine, especially since the outbreak of the coronavirus now robotics companies i put in their robots to assist in 3 key areas cleaning robots could contaminate rooms or dispose of hospital waste, so humans avoid risks. check ups robots could help check on patients confined to their beds or in quarantine. this could alleviate the pressure on medical stuff.

telemedicine robots have been assisting during surgery for a while in japan. they're also creating so-called surgical robots. tokyo bay start up river field, wants to launch its new in a few years to compete with the surgical robots made in the u.s. . when it comes to surgical assistance, da vinci is state of the art. this robot can remove tumors tissue from someone with prostate cancer, but it doesn't operate autonomously. a control panel that surgeons use the robot arms in real time, which has one big advantage, motion scaling and trammel filters. this allows the surgical robot to work more precisely. but the defense has to disadvantage is it doesn't receive any haptic feedback, meaning it can't feel for specific body parts. and it's very expensive. up to 2000000, europe's tokyo based company river is trying to solve these

problems. they're robot is quite similar to defense and will cost less. here the robot arms are powered by air pressure. this enables haptic feedback, reducing the risk of injury. so this should make the operation more intuitive. we believe much more in your path coming this treatment. many other countries are also turning to robots to help in the medical and care sectors. future physicians will have to train intensively to use these new technologies only for the patient. for the patient to become

faster. they can do the surgery by sitting in the chair. i think you can be minimised by using the robot and surgeons probably won't be replaced anytime soon. but with the right mobile communications, doctors could soon be performing tell us surgery across long distance. and this may be beneficial for people living in remote areas without access to medical care whether they're assisting in surgery or doing chores at home. robots are supposed to help people with things that are difficult or that we simply don't want to do. in japan. i saw how ai machines are used in dating, and if it were up to professor for me, documents to know, we wouldn't even be aware of the role that machines play in our lives. there is a turn the tide, always eagle, which is that of the disappearing robot. but that's,

i mean in the future, robots will become invisible to us. they will be such a common part of our lives that we don't really think of those robots anymore. well, if my own vacuum robot had only done his job properly, then i'd probably still be using it. robots for personal use at home, helpful, or just new electronic waste. let us know what you think on facebook or d, w dot com at to you. would you for more videos from japan, including more robots? that's it for me today. see you next time.

britney spears just shows, but it shows some of the smarter ways to kill when you're going to give us your country will make you rich people. oil will provide you with jobs. the oil will take good care of us is a big one. fever took hold on the west coast of kano in 2007 and the

stars made big promises. but years later, reality looks very different letters, but drinking water shortage, high unemployment. up and down the stream of black gold. oil starts december 4th on d w. i'll show you the vibration to sit in the engine of the good that we are living in during the most extraordinary time in history of france. affordable before the electric minute. that red.
