[000:00:00;00] ah, may i introduce my black lab bus it at home? dogs are my passion, but at work a passion, a robot. what if i combined the 2 could a robot replace my dog? let's see. all that and more on shift. ah, noon would you like a dog, but perhaps your landlord doesn't allow pets or you're allergic. why not get a robo dog? sounds weird. not in japan. ready i by looks pretty cute, but it's much more than just a ty behind those big eyes and multiple cameras, voicemail,

ignition software untouched senses. i've always showed for artificial intelligence, private and in japanese it means partner, artificial intelligence. let's i by may vote on a mostly unmake spontaneous decisions. the robotic dog was designed to be a serious alternative to a living breathing, pat. gimme the obviously they're not living creatures of their robots, but many of our clients to keep i boat, whom treat it like a real penny. when you to our customers, ruba patch can feel very, really, and even evoke feelings of attachment. you know, just like real animals, the design seems to be whacking each year at the she, chico, sans children's festival. some owners bring i bose, not children to the shrine, to pray for their health and good fortune. that rober dogs can even receive as though to funeral these ceremonies, a health to say good bye to i both the to be on repair. but the good news is i bose,

a practically immortal dan memories live on in the cloud. they do look adorable, but could you imagine loving a piece of plastic? i went to japan to put eyeball to the test. bossa versus i boe who's the better dog . i am going to pit i bow against my daughter in 5 categories. cardenas out of factor cleanliness, character and expensive. oh catalina's. i have just one question was not to like about dogs. and a lot of them love hawks. i've, on the other hand, is very delicate and it's more sensitive than i would have imagined. countless senses making respond to touch immediately. oh boy, they're really cute. i have to admit them. i was impressed. let's call it

a draw. oh, next the outdoor factor. bossa loves the beach. i bo probably wouldn't survive the sand. dasa love swimming eyeball wouldn't survive that either. wow. in fact, eyeball is design strictly for indoor use. so if you're not a fan of exercise, eyeball might be quite appealing. i have to walk my dog for about 2 hours every day . to me, that's a clear win for bosses. oh, the 3rd category is personality. my dog has a great personality which i'm a bit proud of. my friends you make fun of me for that. i boast don't really ever personality, right? they're just machines all exactly the same. when i bought any i bought that you buy will develop in a different way depending on its surroundings and the users lifestyle. i did say all i boost will go their own way,

is i know that they will act differently and feel differently ethically when i light that is made possible by a i and deep learning. eyeball also features, facial and voice recognition software that, that's it. recognize the person it's interacting with. it's more willing to respond to commands. if that person has already spent time with it. impressive, i will can learn new tricks with software updates. i can teach boston new tricks to it might taken in longer, but it's still a lot of fun. i'd say one point each. oh, next up cleanliness, my am i showing you this? because if i didn't show a bossa once a week, my apartment would be a mess. and don't get me started on all that here on the floor. i will scores. oh, finally, expenses. while i bill comes with

a half the price take of around $2700.00 euros. a labrador pup cost about $1700.00 yours. and what about the monthly cost? sony charges about $20.00 euros a month for access to the cloud. where you can download all of eyeballs, features hungry, hungry bossy eats up about 40 years of my monthly budget. and veterinary bills can add up to more than $500.00 euros a year. and the grand score is 4234, eyeball. congratulations, i will. but i'm still not sure if i could bond with the machine. these robotic dogs are a different story. they've got a bad reputation. that could be thanks to dystopian sy fi works like these. and then there's the so called defense industry that fits dog like rovers with a tillery ranging a well one kilometer support us believe these robot dogs will improve security in the future if you say,

so one thing is for sure they can do dangerous jobs. salt is exploring a drug lab, harmful chemicals could be in the air, and armed criminals could be hiding in the shadows. this replica of a lab demonstrates how dodge police put their i bow dogs to work a mounted camera. let's officers observe what is happening at the crime scene from a safe distance. spot is remote controlled. it is not meant to be autonomous. it's job is to protect police officers from dangerous situations. no, i understand that group or often scare people in my room too, but the way we see it on this, on all these rebuts do is bring sensors to location that would be dangerous for us cancer. and then come back with data alika variable. take dogs can be equipped with a number of different senses that let them measure things such as radioactivity. for example, companies have already tested models and a decommissioned nuclear plant in british sellafield. this kid enable inspections

that don't expose humans to the risk of nuclear contamination. robotic dogs are being put to the test around the globe in italy, spots, and it's $360.00 degree camera patrol, the antique ruins of pompei each night. in spain, it serves drinks in singapore, it gods, construction sites. it's no coincidence that similar experiments are being conducted a mr. pandemic as many sectors struggle to stop their teams, actually replacing the need for manpower on site with autonomous solutions is grainy gaining real traction in the industry. these robots can take over dog dirty or dangerous jobs, but they also have caring tasks like this. this is of a dog is owned by a leading chinese ai and robotics firm. walks and play time included,

the design to entertain support and even got us. but do we want robots doing that? the honolulu police on hawaii tick spots for a practice run when they deployed the canaan robot to check the temperatures of on house people during the height of the corona virus pandemic. critics warned this was dehumanizing visitors to this park and seeing a cor responded with mixed emotions. when a robo dog was sent out to ensure that people maintain safe distance, said that it was it's cameras and artificial intelligence. record the number of people i think it's quite light, like the black mirror kind of like we're always under surveillance l time. i think it's pretty cool. if you keep the sense that, you know someone is, is looking around just to make sure that the people around us, hey, this mike, look more like a giraffe than a dog. but spots mused,

iteration has been equipped with a gripping arm. right now, the robots just sensing the world, but the moment that it can sense well and interact with it based on wednesday that starts opening up wide variety new applications for, for spot, with so many uses. we have lots to look forward to, by the way spot has proven that is god moves like jagger ah, ah, of fours promo videos like this unmade to go viral. but live dogs can also gay social media pain. like this pomeranian def palm from the u. s. he has 10000000 followers on instagram and another 20000000 on take talk. personally, i'm not a fan of dressing up dogs like humans. i prefer and the dogs such as these to form

a street dogs in rio de janeiro. both i'll have for ever homes and good jobs. carmella joined the fire department and corporal olvera is with the police. there is the fame helps raise awareness, for example, for others street dogs of war works in asia campaigns. i wonder if dogs would use social media on their own. ilya and i heard you, douglas believes they certainly need more self determination. so she developed a dock form. i was a go fly at the scottish university of glasgow. you'll, you know, her ski douglas investigates her animals interact with computers. in 2021. she developed a doggy food for her lab. zack, to lot of products coming to market that allow you to video, call your animal or track your animal am, but you are a, your dog or, you know, doesn't really have many choices over this technology. and so i thought would be wonderful if we sort of flip the narrative of this. and instead of dog could make

a video call rather than a human calling them and also choose whether or not it wants to answer the calls, the. but how do you teach a dog to make a phone call. ready is una husky. douglas took advantage of the fact that zach would often bring her a bowl if he wanted attention. what i did was on the inside am, how's inside this tennis ball inside the tennis ball is just an exhaust rita, and also a chip and is the battery and some, some other technology that basically connects with ball and to my computer or his computer at home her lap doesn't like picking up the phone, but he does like making calls himself his favorite. her video calls where her ski douglas can show him where she is. the experiment will continue for 2 weeks and then it's back to the drawing board. i guess i have like a super big dream in an animal technology. i would really like it if we started developing technology the give animals more control over their life. and so my sort

of end goal of this is to really make technology that really improves in animal life and really improves that while fat. i'm all thought technology improving the lives of our paths. why should humans have all the benefits? but back to the start of our show, rob adults like abel, i'm more than just a toy. they are useful companions that can help combat loaning, as for example, that's scientifically proven. is that a series solution, euclid profit form, or is it just fun and gapes? let us know that's all promised. see you next time. ah ah, oh, my friend to have attended, glistening place of morning. the mediterranean sea,

its waters connect people of many cultures seen of emma's rock and to far abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean b. where has history left its traces, meeting people hearing their dreams of mediterranean journey. this week on d. w. how did she become adults? hitler's favorite director and help me become a forgotten film pioneer leaning. he finished it and i know to fund between hitler and hollywood in 1932, they set out into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening film project. that became
