ah, but ma'am, with the memories of a woman mm. from syria is born in a female body. forced into marriage. great. far from home, all we can finally become the person who's always wanted to be with us. i was born in brewing starts july 22nd born w 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 a topic on today's edition of made. speaking of a different future, perhaps i should be worried about mine, especially if robot tv presenters 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 to 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. in part that's down to robot steadily improving their situational awareness. my colleague, no chad to schmidt, reports blue, 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 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 meantime? guns cause a was absent, this one growing trend is having robots work with materials that are on the softer side. and that's why should that be on staffing vision? supervise is government programs that promote robotics and is very up to date on developments that 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,

was the sky from 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 of the koreans that safety on robots can relieve us of menial jobs and donkey work. it's what they do. this is i knew this was a well the martin. vanna humper 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, to then, if you me, we're going to see a lot more robot use in unstructured environment is the in hobbs, america will soon have robots that can recognize their environment and adapt accordingly. go to traditional deck and chron. 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? 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 robot, a domestic dream come true,

doing all of our chores is not something we will have in the foreseeable future. is a, a humanoid robot doesn't make any sense. just think of the immense amount of energy alone that a truly good robot would consume developing fossil fuel energy understands you don't have to dish out one or 200000 euros for such a robot is. uh huh. it wouldn't be affordable and consuming. it's hung and yet specialized robots will be and increasingly common site and become a growing part of our daily routine. now, there are humans, 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. ah, could this be the future world of work? work in 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 economic human lifting behavior and optimize as fluid walking movements.

as i'm gonna have them hang on to essentially this is a little robot you where on your back like a rucksack to leave the physical load, power and support are generated by these electric motors. he went, the typical load compensation in one hour is between $1.00 and $1.00 and a half tons. i've come up. that gives you an idea of just how much physical effort these workers expend. buskey them that i to go inside and 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 that, well, that's one. why do we still need humans? why?

because these robots lack the intelligence. as we've seen in the logistic sector, especially during the pandemic. there are some things you cannot plan for 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 and exoskeleton, it is a far more efficient option. still not sy fy enough. oh, but operating a forklift truck from whom a start up in california, teleports it's drivers into warehouses across the globe. the transporters either operate autonomously with human assistance where needed for 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 autonomy

is 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 work. so if you have overflow 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 online 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 $95.00 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 continued 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 is 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 turn to futuristic technology for a creative solution in 2018. she released the 1st ever music album compose. i'm pretty used to using artificial intelligence software. and i think learning network like beyond what i can see, i wish i could beyond what i can. 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 don't know how to do videos anymore. i'm pulling 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. or i'm not wiped out at the end of every day to reassess her work life balance. and suddenly in the midst of a global pandemic, tarrant 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 voila, a i terran was boring. 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 parents can speak different languages, a solution i my funds and he doesn't come back to younger hood and have a different faces. genders. a i terran can sing time to wake up, brush my teeth code 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, or video content that's generated using ai and machine learning is booming and digital humans a seeing a surge in popularity, entrepreneurial intelligence startups raised. steve 1800000000 euros in 2020 alone with market research is predicting a 100 fold increase in the use of digital humans. the customer service 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 we'll synthetic humans be taking over our jobs any time. sing? no, i don't think that i digital i was aug. against your pace, 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 present to lead communication is the best way for businesses to communicate with our customers. and with that audience is digitally the back to the matter, as 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 guess is lupsi aren't patch, they know 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 the current. so the human being in the video that you're watching was actually not shot and a studio but generated by computers. we do that by way of

a watermark that appears within the frame of every video ah one's avatars. and now taking on last lines of rooms from office receptionists, to virtual real estate agents and h. r manages the present is all based on real people who receive micro payments every time the likeness is used for video. we have on track with them which determine the type of content that they can appear and, and that really protects that right and protect that interests. but we'll synthetic media may be creating new job opportunities, boosting creativity and reducing workloads. it also raises 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 video will 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 you think 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, lou terrence southern is hoping that her avatar experiment will help raise awareness around 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 to feel that this topic ways that that could go wrong, but they're also a ton of creative possibilities that present themselves once you have the option. so all are digital cline's may not be taking off physical jobs just yet. the learning capacity and ability to scale could see them moving up the career ladder

foster 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 ny 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 like 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 store 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 skyward,

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 and 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, a storm cloud scattered overhead of him, badani zane and monterey institute's weather radar 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 laza, 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 in a matter of minutes. the emergency services were overwhelmed with calls and struggle to cope. if 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. drivers were taken by surprise in a situation like that. it's not even possible to coordinate the streets in china. we never know with the rain will be heaviest and what damage it 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 bluefield 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 of her. it's a meaty relaunch. uncle gauge for such a measure or estimate rainfall, or other forms of precipitation in a given area. funny ego or another near flux, oper, destiny. and yet in the way it works is it emits a signal that interacts with the precipitation and then relate back to the radar want and we don't follow that from other 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 bens when t on the finish. i know is, here is a small traffic island which is factored in, looks like so. the water flows along it and then reaches

a local low point on soon 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 bigger threat in india than in any other country in 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 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 it more precisely to conditions and ask him he's working together with the city of 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 no super windows, it just needs to be formulated in simple terms or stablish. and so no meteorological jargon, property terms, every one can understand and it has on investment, for example, and 50 leaders per square meter, little 3 foot automate, are in or on the water level of so and so many centimeters in your home. and that's what owns us 5 would really help the fire department and the general public hearing on it often and is it watson was absent. they could refer to the map and the forecast log to prepare for an eventual adult. every city faces different challenges and there's no silver bullet against climate disasters. but with this early warning system often 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 ah, with
