topic anxious today. ah, when you see rover acting as servers and cafes, they're typically replacing human employees. but there is a cafe in japan that thus thinks differently. the robot here enable people with disabilities to take part in work life, but remotely from their own homes. when customers talk to these little robots, they're not talking to in a i system that talking to a real person. like for me, co miyoshi the controls the robot from home. she's one of about 50 people with physical mental disabilities. working as robot operations that don't cafe in tokyo, japan. she takes customers orders through the robot and makes recommendations. the bigger robots them serve the food and drinks the ideas to give people who can't leave their homes due to health reasons. but want to work the opportunity to do so

. it's hard to like, walk in for you got as long as i'm alive. i want to give something back to the community by working in new york again state your body. your moon is mitchie o my you says he talks to his customers about everything from his health to the weather. oh you put all many good. i feel happy if i can be a part of society. he wants to go go more, you mustn't hurry. he may robots are equipped with a camera microphone and speaker, allowing customers to talk directly to the operators will only through all cash that will give me a customers. don't really come here to see a reason me. what do you mean them are gone? they come here because of the people behind the re how many is there and they will come back to see them again. i equal you. who knew? similar? the cafe is operated by henri laboratory. the text thought up develops robots like or re him made to combat loneliness. the technology helps break down barriers for people with disabilities. don't cafe brings people with and without disabilities

together. a 1st up to will greater inclusion. assistive technology refers to products that 8 people who, for example, can't hear or see, or where missing a body part. the market for this kind of tech is huge because more than a 1000000000 people world wide live with some form of disability. like jessica smith from australia. she was born without a left for arm. the former paralympic swimmer is now a disability awareness advocate and relies on the help of technology. i'm not trying to hide who i am, i'm adding and sort of expanding on who i am as a person by being able to access technology that's never been available before. her high tech prosthetic limbs operates using artificial intelligence and can learn 14 different grips. this next clip of jessica smith, grocery shopping, demonstrates just how well this tech works and action. so whoa,

whoa, whoa, now you can really let me know as i have 3 children, 6 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. and they all the kids are very excited about it. they think it's amazing that i'm like half human hoffer both half human half robots, despite it prosthetic can give off that impression. the device converts electrical impulses from the over our muscles, into finger movements. a special after associates grew patterns with certain muscle movements, and users can configure it themselves at home or allow technicians to do it remotely. so we tried to build in the a i technology which allows it to connect to the hand. anyway, basically in a world unchanged configuration on the device instantaneously, on the fly for the customer. the sensor bracelets is being tested at the university of sidney in australia. it's designed to detect the slightest movements of attendance which controlled the hans, these subtle movements,

and then transmitted via bluetooth to program. if you touch your copper tunnel like that and move your fingers a little bit, you will see tiny, why, abrasions happening in the wrist. and this, that's how our body moves our fingers. so all the sensor actually pick up those wiper ations. ah, and we use machine learning any i to make sense of those white braces to figure out which finger is moving and how much due to a medical condition. ariana shaw has limited mobility in his left hand. he's testing the sensor bracelet by playing simple computer games. his movements are interpreted into the game. it's a lot less mood and then i thought you need to use it when i 1st the i use hopefully can make me a bit more functional with my left hand. like especially for computers perspective like studying and using it all day. there are many projects around the world

focused on the sense of touch at the university of bristol, in the u. k. we searchers are working on simulating the different layers of human skin to allow robots to have a real human touch. and this could come in handy for making future prosthetics. we 3 d prints that similar structure into our artificial skin so that it can respond to cold fats in a similar way to, to human skin. but instead of adding nerve had things, we instead bouncing camera inside the center. so we could see the cable coming from here. so that picks up that, that movement to place hilly, that those structures inside this all facial skin. so cameras are being used to simulate human touch. what a fascinating approach. cameras are also used as a tool for people who are blind or have low vision. take this gadget for example. it can be attached to glasses is or is, can turn in the erection of

a given text and either give a voice command or press their finger down to have it read aloud. the i can be trained to recognize certain products and faces to the development of these devices often involves the same technology that's used in other sectors like autonomy driving the a i technology that's used to keep autonomy. vehicles on the road is also useful for pedestrians. this by had gadget helps blind and people with low vision navigate the city, the cameras and vetted and the device detect obstacles within a 170 degree angle. woman uses with 3 d. sounds mechanic system imagined like this . if an object is moving toward the user and there's the risk of a collision, bipeds warns them with a sound. and similar to parking assisted modern cars. if there's an object on your left, you'll hear obstacle on your left hand side. to sounds indicate where the obstacle is there a different sounds depending on whether it's a car, person,

or bench that's in the way the developers see bite head as a supplement to a walking stick with one big advantage. it won't uses about obstacles that head level to. this small gadget has several of features, but instead it attaches to a classic walking stick. we walk, uses ultrasonic sensors, and vibrates when there are obstacles near by. users can connect the device to their phone by a bluetooth and then use the touchpad to access google maps and virtual assistance all while keeping the phone tucked away. a smart walking stick. that's cool. and for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, they're a smart glasses. they neighbor users to read conversations in real time. by converting spoken word into subtitles. diana martin is deaf. she's trying on smart glasses for the 1st time with her friend jacqueline press from x ray glass. can you

see anything? oh, well, i'm talking to you. oh, this is a new way of being able to communicate and be included. i don't think you're i, debbie hondas tech is one that's already well known from movies subtitling. but these augmented reality glasses converts spoken words into text and projected instantaneously. this enables spoken conversations to be more inclusive to deaf people as the founder of deaf kids international. steve crump, explains, i might not quite catch everything, but this is given me a real time narrative which enables me to be informed. it lay asleep to be involved in obe with me to make decisions. because i know what is being said. voice recognition algorithms quickly converts spoken language into readable text. we're taking that audio stream from the microphone on the glass as we're running it

through a piece of transcription software, which users have probably seen before and ability to send audio intakes up captions . what we're doing though, is then taking those captions and putting them into oakmont reality. in pakistan, the up connector connects deaf people with sign language, interpreter's via video call, the interpret spoken language into sign language and sign language into speech. this helps deaf people lead more independent lives scenarios quite a while our bank interview opening an account robin, but any account hospital scenario or some emergency scenarios, way of communication as bay important of course coming in is crucial and creating a society that's more inclusive to people with disabilities and communication can happen through music to american dance. a rabbit wexler aims to make music accessible to all people, no matter their physical or mental capabilities. what if everyone could dance?

and even the slightest movement produced to sound that was the goal, american dom sir, robert wexler, set for himself and developing the motion. composer, it's been a minute to 3. i believe her, all dancers were all musicians. and that's the principle behind the motion. composer about it enables us all to experience those instincts. all people with all capabilities, mention it ala face kaiten. already back in the mid 19 seventy's, robert wexler began experimenting with motion tracking a new york. he recorded dances, movements using body sensors, and then converted the movement data into sounds. oh, that lead the foundation for the motion composer which create sounds based on people's gestures. to achieve this, a 3 d camera films,

a person's movement. software then converts the sequences into corresponding sounds . the system detects even the smallest motions. the motion composers used in therapeutic clinics and inclusive schools. many are moved by the ability to express themselves artistically through movement. in mice and re, most people are overcome with emotions and joy, joy, it's not unusual to see people crying workshops and why tears of joy in brown's workshops. asteroid as a dancer, robert wexler has often stood in the spotlight with the motion composer. he's created a stage for people who are too often overlooked. i love seeing technology act as an aide for people to better express themselves, and if it helps people with disabilities feel more secure, confident, and included in society, we've made a small step of progress. what kind of tools would you want brighten and let us

know fear next time? ah ah ah. with

a eco india in the northern metropolis of channel to go waste separation has been compulsory for years. now, diapers and period products will also be sources helping the environment while breaking down menstrual taboo india even 90 minutes upon d w. and we're interested in the global economy our portfolio d w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market

dominance with d w. business beyond 2016 as like a bunch of the clean cut wants to see if germany with the last few years have been quite a ride in burly in touch with. i've already done the homework when it comes to jem a bit. and of course i always look in the eyes birch is, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of mine, i'm no longer approved. i want to be in the news there. a person that comes when you're feeling altogether, you'll realize that culture is just another way of living. are you ready to meet the job and then join me right to do it on b w. ah hm.

ah ah ah, this is be a news coming to you live from berlin. let me putin says russia's mobilization of civilians to fight in ukraine is almost complete, pretty and claims. there's no need for any more new recruits, but more evidence is emerging that russian courses are now on the back put in ukraine.
