for carefully, don't know how to do a mattress discover the world around you. subscribe to the w documentary on youtube. ah ah, ah, innovate or die? as business man tries go, it's not an especially positive way to describe what is ultimately an encouragement

towards progress. because to create something new in the present is to propel us towards a different future that we might have had otherwise. innovation. that's our topic on today's edition of made. speaking of a different future, perhaps i should be worried about mine, especially if robot tv presenters at one day become the norm. for now, i have to hope that there are still things i can do that they can't. in general, however, the gap between human and robot capabilities is narrowing ones conceived as aids through humans in their jobs. robots are increasingly taking on more of the work themselves, especially when it comes to high risk and physically demanding or menial tasks. and part that's down to robots, steadily improving their situational awareness. my colleague no charges schmidt report. boom. some have a remarkably delicate touch,

while others can master, challenging and unfamiliar terrain. interesting robots are making huge progress in various applications. and as we all know, they're getting smarter all the time. for will that robots are faster, more precise and stronger. so we'll robots be making us redundant in the near future. just how good are they in the mean time zone guns casa, was attempt, is growing. trend is having robots work with materials that are on the softer side on. that's why some of the onion stuff, investments, supervises government programs that promote robotics and is very up to date on developments natoya that we used to have the problem in robotics, especially when it came to handling a grasping object that you had to quite accurately define what the object looked like it was as cry from the new technology means greater flexibility and no more

squashed raspberries. researchers were inspired by carry, gummy, the japanese art of paper, cutting the soft plastic is bent in a specific way that enables robots to pick up all kinds of object school. a small scale revolution. further, a field robots could assume a growing role in fruit and vegetable harvesting. the 1st models already exist, but they don't yet have quite the right finesse. nevertheless, some farms have already been adapted to accommodate robots. the need is particularly great in industrialized countries because harvest workers are becoming harder to find all the curtains that safety on robots can relieve us of menial jobs and donkey work. it's what they do right. this is aiden. you this little world to martin. vanna humphrey is a big robot fan. he advises companies on their automated acquisitions.

another japanese folding technique or a gummy is also being used to develop robotic applications. it could make vehicles ultra flexible helping to reach people after earthquakes. for example. do then, if you me, we're going to see a lot more robot use in unstructured environment. america will soon have robots that can recognize their environment and adapt accordingly later traditional can can know among the other areas where robots are taking on more tasks is construction. one of the last sectors that had managed without them. so what jobs will be left for us in the future? as robots continue to evolve and become more human like it, technology related jobs that have been lost, have always been compensated for by newer and better jobs. and that will continue to be the case. but the all purpose, humanoid robots,

a domestic dream come true. doing all of our chores is not something we will have in the foreseeable future. desert. a humanoid robot doesn't make any sense. just think of the immense amount of energy alone that a 2 legged robot would consume developing fossil fuel energy and mrs. young people not so you'd have to dish out one or 200000 euros for such a robot is. uh huh. it wouldn't be affordable and consumers it's hung. and yet specialized robots will be in increasingly common site and become a growing part of our daily routine. now, there are human, then there are robots. and there is what the in between robotic exoskeletons, on humans, are a sort of marriage between man and machine. these exoskeletons are more stable and stress resistant than our actual human skeletons, and can be controlled remotely. felix polishing are tells us how they work and for

what they can be used. oh, could this be the future world of work? an invention that merges people with machines, the artificial exoskeleton, it's a kind of suit that increases the workers strength. at the same time, it reduces the physical strain and health risks to the wearers. back. this computer controlled exoskeleton adapts to the individual where the technology enables the device to compensate for any on air gunam acumen, lifting behavior and optimize as fluid walking movements. as i'm gonna, i'm, i'm kind of want to essentially this is

a little robot you wear on your back like a rucksack to leave the physical load. the power and support are generated by these electric motors. he went on with the typical load compensation and one hour is between $1.00 and $1.00 and a half tons, eyes come up. that gives you an idea of just how much physical effort these workers expend must be them at i did, or any placement. i wouldn't, perhaps, exoskeletons could also be used to provide assistance to workers who deliver packages, as well as caregivers. while robots can now complete increasingly complex tasks, they still need a human supervisor. but millions of jobs could be under threat from automation. in the near future, it's set to impact around 10 percent of workers in the u. s. and over 30 percent in slovakia, although there is no prospect yet of humans being rendered completely obsolete. thou, that's why we still need humans. why? because these robots lack the intelligence, as we've seen and a logistic sector,

especially during the pandemic. there are some things you can plan for law, and then that means adapting at short notice, which isn't possible with immobile and inflexible robot systems. and that's where human labor, even with an exoskeleton, it is a far more efficient option. still not sy fy enough. how about operating a forklift truck from whom? a start up in california teleport it's drivers into warehouses across the globe. the transporters either operate autonomously with human assistance where needed or their remote control directly and exclusively by the human drivers or cor hypothesis is that autonomy is deployable today as long as you have a human in the loop. you have one human, they can be said in thousands of miles away that is monitoring multiple autonomous forklifts at once. we're also providing warehouse workers the privilege to,

to work remotely, right? the same privilege that's bestowed on on office workers. so if you have overflow. busy or a surge in your warehouse in new jersey, you can click a button in, in real time and on demand have multiple digital drivers there immediately to deal with that overflow. ah, the technology could also be used to drive trucks and taxi's thousands of kilometers away. the robots are on the march from robots and the physical world. we turn to humans in the digital world as more of our lives. my great on line and more of our work is done remotely, especially in the pandemic era. many are turning to avatars to represent them in virtual spaces. here is amelia, hemp hill, on how that will shape the world of work. and what it means for us to be digitally

embodied. ah, remote working has taken on a whole new meaning. since the pandemic hit well, many of us and now theoretically for him to work from anywhere and ditch the 95 of his schedule. according to new research from harvard business school, that actually hasn't been that liberating. in reality, a worked is become almost 10 percent longer with spending more time online than ever before, while also struggling to sleep and switch off from a digital devices. so as our real and digital world continue to merge, is there a way that we can work smarter rather than harder meet tarren southern. she's a youtube sta film director, singer and actress based in los angeles, california. how music and video content has reached millions of people around the world over the last decade. but as how online fame and community of follow as grew

. so did the pressure to increase had digital output. i could no longer keep up with the hamster wheel of content that was required if he wanted to be successful. and the algorithm is very punishing. if you don't post every day or you don't post almost every day on some of these platforms, you are paralyzed and i was like, i, i don't wanna be beholden to this anymore. it's time for me to move on. and so i did turn in turn to futuristic technology for a creative solution in 2018. she released the 1st ever music album compose. i'm pretty used to using alt official intelligence software learning network like beyond what i can see. i wish i could beyond what i can ties. i started taking a really active interest in what was happening in a i and neuro technology. all of these spaces were incredible. breakthroughs are

happening every day and saying what's happening in those spaces? is there a place for storytelling, but then in 2019 the world that tyron had worked so hard to build came crushing down when she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. i feel like i don't know how to do videos anymore. i'm. i'm feeling emotional right now and going through that i think was the 1st time where i really questions my bandwidth. my ability to take things on. i've always been a really hard worker and it's hard for me to say no. and it's hard for me to do less. and so i knew coming out of that that it would be important for me to figure out a career move where i'm not completely exhausted. i'm not wiped out at the end of every day. forced to reassess her work life balance, and suddenly in the midst of a global pandemic, tarren teamed up with a startup called our one to create

a digital clone, a photo realistic copy of herself that could live and work online. it took approximately 10 minutes of my time in front of a camera to capture my likeness to capture my voice. and we use that ingested it into their machine learning programs. and paula a i terran was born. i feel like an entirely different person. she can now use her talking avatar to produce videos on demand just by inputting some written text. hey, i heard 3 different languages, a solution i my funds and he doesn't come back to you. i'm good and have a different faces. genders. a i terran can sing time to wake up, brush my teeth, go to where to come home and count likes as my were the only resource that we have this limited is our own time. and in a world where my a i clone can now outsource, some of that. things get really interesting is businesses rush to further digitize

in response to the pandemic, synthetic media. oh, video content that's generated using ai and machine learning is booming and digital humans a seeing a surge in popularity. artificial intelligence startups raised 61800000000 euros in 2020 alone with market research is predicting a 100 fold increase in the use of digital humans. the customer of his marketing and entertainment by 2030. but how the technology will be used is still largely unregulated. i spoke with avatar making start up our one to find out what's on the horizon. so will synthetic humans be taking over odd jobs any time sing? no, i don't think but a digital i was og against your face, humans and the what place, what they'll do is enable a new kind of hybrid. 6 work experience,

we believe that human lead communication presents a lead communication is the best way for businesses to communicate with our customers. and with that audience is digitally the back to the matter. if you can't make enough content featuring real people. so in order to scale and augment that, we need to use technology. international language school berlitz is using our ones a i presented to expand their online teaching capabilities i get is helps young patch. they now have thousands of digitally generated instructors that can give lessons in multiple languages. so the input is text and the output of these finished videos that are delivering content in a very scalable and flexible and rapid way. we always disclose, that's the current. so the human being in the video that you're watching was actually not short in a studio, but generated by computers. we do that by way of award to mock that appears within

the frame of every video i ones avatars. and now taking on last lines of rooms from office receptionists, to virtual real estate agents and h. r manages their present is all based on real people who receive micro payments every time they likeness is used for video. we have contracts with them which determine the type of content that they can appear and, and that really protects their rights and protect the interests that will synthetic media, maybe creating new of opportunities, boosting creativity and reducing workloads. it's also raised and concerning ethical questions, like who is regulating how this technology is used. and if it's now so easy to clone faces, replicate, voices will edit deep fakes in a matter of minutes. how will we ever be able to trust that a video or person we see online is real beyond just misinformation? there's the risk of being scammed and getting your security compromised. mean deep

fakes make that far easier, especially do pick audio. the other risk is really to the entire countries and the ways in which the population interacts with their government and their media. you want to ensure that you have systems in place and that you're helping support those who are developing systems that make it very easy to sort of discern what's real. and what's not new terrence southern is hoping that her avatar experiment will help raise awareness surround woodall, online interactions could look like in the future. there are still a tremendous number of challenges and limitations around this technology and park because it is so new. sure, it's easy, the field that has topic ways that that could go wrong. but there are also a ton of creative possibilities that present themselves once you have the option. so all our digital cline's may not be taking off physical jobs just yet. the learning capacity, an ability to scale, could see them moving up the career ladder faster than we imagine.

now, the existence of the digital human wouldn't even be possible without the internet, but connectivity is far from being a universally enjoyed privilege. the so called digital divide means that some countries are left behind in the race for a technological advancement. however, internet enabled by satellites reaching every corner of the globe could fix that problem. but that may cause other difficulties along the way. and darius, no house explains an internet signal from space fast internet for everybody, even in the most isolated parts of the world. that's what companies like starling one web and amazon are promising. how does it work?

data is transmitted by the cinder down on the ground to one of the many satellites that are constantly circling the earth. all satellites communicate with each other by a laser beams that dispatched the data through space at 300000 kilometers per 2nd. the speed of light a satellite dish on earth then picks up the data from there, it's into routers, or smartphones. satellite internet is super fast because the vacuum in space doesn't slow down light. that's why it's especially well suited for high frequency training. it's 22 percent faster than fiber optic cables for investors and hedge funds. a fraction of a 2nd can mean billions in profits. and what about private use? sunlight transmission lack significantly behind here. because high bit rates in huge numbers of users reduce speed. uploading and downloading streaming,

even with existing systems you need to be patient. satellite internet is currently only suitable for areas that have no other data access option. but things are set to improve. the line must star like network war constellation, already has around 1800 satellites up in space, and ames to send 42000 in total. but there's also been criticism more satellites and orbit raises, the likelihood of them crashing into each other. the increased light pollution as well impeding the view of astronomers if worn out or defective satellites crash, they damage the ozone layer. and the rockets shot into space on exactly climate friendly either. nor is the internet itself. it accounts for the same amount of c, o 2 emissions as all air traffic in the world. and the new satellites will likely see a further increase in that pollution. and while we're looking sky

word, there is one thing we should realize. what goes on up there also affects us down here as contending with climate change is one of the major challenges of our time. we need all that innovative prowess we can muster to help us. scientists from the german city of atlanta have developed a smart radar system with artificial intelligence that helps predict with speed and accuracy when it will rain. one day in 2018 you leon hoffman rushed into central arkwin on his bike. the storm clouds gathered overhead of him, badani zane and monterey institutes, whether radar with one by the time i reached the city center and they were already a few puddles of water. and then the storm, really hidden. i just half an hour later, most of the inner city was flooded a lava a hydraulic engineer hoffman. his meeting. maximilian knew sla from the arkan fire department. on that day. he was one of the 1st to arrive at the scene. towns and

villages across the region were flooded and a matter of minutes, the emergency services were overwhelmed with calls and struggle to cope. of these birds either sunday church shows how much damage flash flooding can do right now we're at kaiser plot. you can see that the streets here were completely flooded. drive us were taken by surprise in a situation like that. it's not even possible to coordinate the streets and diagnosis. we never know with the rain will be heaviest and what damage will cause . also, thanks to technology developed by you, leon hoffman often is the 1st german city with a risk based early warning system for plu, field flash floods. first, he used to drone to create a cartography of the entire city. the heavy rainfall simulation shows that water flows to the lowest part of the city. the kaiser plat square the

data for the pilot project is supplied by a weather radar house in an industrial park on the outskirts of the city. and from there, it's a midi relaunch. decal gauge for such a measure or estimate rainfall or other forms of precipitation in a given area on the big or where i live in need of flux often donaldson yet. and the way it works is it emits a signal that interacts with the precipitation. and then relate back to the radar. on done, we don't follow that from radar. this data allows you leon hoffman to make a precise prediction about which areas will be most affected. not cancer come on and you can see it very clearly when you look at the simulation and evaluate it. this is vasa, that's actually the water flows along the street and goes around ben's when t o. the finish i know is here is a small traffic island which is factored in. what fixture the water flows along it and then reaches a local low point. so an m look on teeth. this is the vest bonham station and under

past that was flooded in 2018 and rendered inaccessible. mab, fabiola such an early warning system could be hugely beneficial in countries like india, where extreme rain of answer increasingly common flash flooding is a biggest threat in india than in any other country. and the world apart from bangladesh here, late inside monsoon periods, obviously have to be taken into account via their feel. langer words i time of these are much longer stretches of heavy rain. tom was under it as more day and i could set side energy. the model should still be able to provide short term predictions. however, the system would 1st have to be modified on movement 1st hoffman plans to calibrate more precisely to conditions and ask him he's working together with the city authorities and the emergency services. we're gonna

say if a hospital is affected or a private home where exactly and what the water will be making. now super, it's very lot of it just needs to be formulated in simple terms or family. she saw no meteorological jargon, property terms. everyone can understand it and he says on investment, for example, 50 leaders per square meter, littleton, colorado, in or on the water level of so in so many centimeters in your home. and that's what owns as far, couldn't really help the fire department, and the general public hearing aren't often any little soon, faucets and they can refer to the map and the forecast rock to prepare for an event . every city faces different challenges and there's no silver bullet against climate disasters. but with his early warning system, all him now has a tool to tailor its response to any future flooding emergency. and that last story tells us that innovation really can be

a matter of life and death that fell from us today on made. thank you very much for watching. i'm janelle de milan to join us again at the same time next week. take care. ah ah ah ah ah ah, with

she in good shape? potter. pete. we know what it does, the environment. but what's happening to our body climate change
