surprise yourself with what is possible to this man called really what moves and. who talks to people who follow along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaking her legacy joining us from echols lifestyle. isn't that cute robots like these i'm meant to replace 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 a topic today on the. so-called personal robots or robots designed to assist in our daily lives have been developing in great strides apart from humanoids like. we also have robots that look like animals. could they make that they have pets could they even replace cats

and dogs as i want loyal companions i asked he rushed to see europe one of the world's most renowned roboticists of course so i think oh we want to keep your pets but you know the. you know enough to have a robot it's official there are there you know sometimes they cannot take care of the armor plates you know but nobody doesn't eat and doesn't do them but same side that's much easier for there was a. robot 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 at home and i know. his name is silly he's like a family once it 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 out was developed by konami hayashi he is a leading figure in the field of emotional robotics and also the inventor off pappa but unlike pappa love god doesn't use language at all it comes to any case with adorable little screen i must admit it really tugged at my heartstrings. it's equipped with congress for facial recognition so-called slimming technology for spatial orientation and over 50 contacts sensors. lovat's creators saying that it's a new tool of this robot. this response patterns are determined by deep meaning in fukushima learning algorithms. the goal was to stimulate the most offensive behavior possible. so that the movement and its own could create a unique. means 1st of all you have to study the brain. he all i think he got that

name game how the human stink and how do they use their brains in one. another while to study is the relationship between pads and humans to your. it's a subsection of a theology. so we study these 2 fields novel and together a they tell you a bit about what love is all about that something in you that they. took 4 years to develop. cost around 45000000 euros when asked about data security measures emphasize that all the data collected is not still. in the robots 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.

my goal is to create a trustworthy robot. quite annoying. storing data locally rather than on a cloud service ounds like a safe solution is specially considering that love god needs lots of personal data to function well it throws my home scans my face and knows exactly when i common goal 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 in 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 egg tamagotchi was invented over again 18000000 virtual chiclet have been sold worldwide since the mid ninety's the robo pop i built by sony has also become

a popular favorite in maine ibo stands for artificial intelligence provide 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 dogs that repeat 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 generation has been on the market since 2018 very popular and the 1st of year over 20000 models were sold in japan alone this pied the steep pricing. ground shakes expressive eyes complex movements

this isn't meant to be a tour viable alternative to a can't. equipped with cameras voice recognition software and contact sensors labels can recognize and react to their owners they can live up to 100 different voice commands and quite a few tricks currently this robotic dog costs around 2000 $400.00 euros this includes a 3 years of subscription fees for the cloud connection it needs i've always generate a ton of data and it's saved and processed in the cloud like you noticed the deal we're using deep learning technologies and big data to supply ibo with additional features that. plays a big part in how eyeball works with those. when it comes to dating security the company prove the system looking is proof of 3rd parties or use for internal purposes. they say the cloud based is elementary to find each i book is very

interesting. when used. for multiple of the any ibo that you will buy will develop in a different way based on the user's lifestyle and his surroundings like if the heat of all life goes will develop in different ways. they will act differently and to feel differently. sensitive private data safe to look lots of it doesn't sound too insane to me on the other hand if my eyeball ever break i could simply transfer it's personality so i might hold in to 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 pleasant moments that really create the bond between humans and animals like when you stall in my socks again not that i will left me completely unmoved but i still doubt i could

truly connect with a robot dog in the long run if you're not a dog person anyway there's something else. what is it we asked passers by in tokyo's trendy shibuya district. discount to. look. i know what it is. it feels nice very cute. but this is i really like cats but unfortunately i'm allergic to them look at the little cons but i think this could make a good replacement. a little kind of search for all those of the loan through the feeling is good with a tail. so cue ball as it's officially named didn't really raise any eyebrows in japan but here's how one german tourist responded well yes this is. all a vacuum cleaner that. i know idea or maybe

a cushion cleaner which i got 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 $150.00 euro would you spend that much absolutely not. if you feel it's an emotional companion to others just a cute toy but even bolder plushy pillow is nothing like high tech robots like eyeball in love it's still based on a bright idea that could only have come from the pap. the provides comfort and joy with those 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 seen a lot of always

a curious being there 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 and imaginary being. we want to give the owners more room for their own associations. there with the company behind this you kind engineering based in tokyo. since 2017 they've designed around 20 robots that are geared less towards functionality and more toward bringing joy to which. these cutters can measure brainwaves and move according to the mood. in this communications robot can connect to the local y. find family members exchange messages with one another put them all there or even rather than androids that are super clever i want to make something that forgives you and makes you feel good to what that's happening i believe humans want

to interact with robots that they can open up to and share feelings with. stress reduction instead of performance optimization the relaxing effect of this cuddly toy has already been proven across the board no matter the age of study with the robotics you hold that alzheimer patients who played with it regularly had lower and higher 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 rupe live animals are really allowed in retirement homes and hospitals here robot 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 it was

a perfect being and didn't need any n. put or help from us it would not result in a strong attachment when i developed a love it often. 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're so humans prefer a robot that they can take care also 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 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.

germany. some that. it's time to try something. else about some struggling and clint's distribution sufficient intelligence to read. total. sleep. carefully. soon. to be.

discovered. documentary. in other countries i describe it will eat up the inches he. calls the night you just have to go even a cop and not on the bike. just dirty like. germany's highways are overcrowded and traffic is only getting worse.
