the positions to the striving, grown pre 24 year old spaniel topped the time sheets of the beautiful philip island caused to secure his food pole position. this is how that is all for now. coming up. next is that technologist technology shut, shift, living in the digital age. this one takes a look at how robots can be used to boost workplace inclusion that's coming up after a short break. there's gonna be more news headlines at the top of the ab is always more to be found at a w dot com f and other i'm anthony. how'd emberly? thanks for watching the or eternal cooling dynamite and the pillar of sticking in society. a symbol of arbitrary rule tool in the struggle for justice taxes the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both

inherent in the sovereignty of nation states and their citizens. but what happens when the power of taxation is undermined? ah, you won't pay taxation. holla, ticks starts october 21st on the w. ah, there are many gadgets that help people with disabilities leap more independent lice. for example, glasses, that subtitles spoken conversations in real time for deaf people, or a smart walking stick that to text obstacles with ultrasonic waves for people with low vision tech for more inclusivity. that's our topic on shift today. ah.

when you see robots acting as servers and cafes are typically replacing human employees, but there's a stay in japan that does things differently. the robots here enable people with disabilities to take part in work life, but remotely from their own house. 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. soccer. ready again 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, there was a global growth 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 our dish that would give me a customers don't really come here to see a reason me. what if you minimal, gordon? 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 need 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 step to what

greater inclusion. assistive technology refers to products that 8 people who, for example, can't hear or see. or we're missing a body part. the market for this kind of tech is huge because more than a 1000000000 people worldwide 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 tag works in action. so whoa, whoa, whoa, now you can jump majorly. money. so

i have 3 children, a 6 year old, a 4 year old and 2 year olds and they all the kids are very excited about it. they think it's amazing that i'm like half human half robot, half human half robot display on it prosthetic can give of that impression. the device converts electrical impulses from the over our muscles, into finger movements. a special after associates group patterns with certain muscle movements, and users can configure it themselves at home or allow technicians to do it remotely. so we've tried to build in the a i technology which allows us 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 sydney in australia. it's designed to detect the slightest movements of attendance which controlled the hands. these subtle movements then transmitted via

bluetooth to program it. if you thought you were copied, follow 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 i'll a sensor, actually pick up those wiper ations ah, and be 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 thought. i just hope we can make me of it more functional with my left hand. like especially for all computers from perspective like studying and using it all day. darn many projects around the world focused on the sense of touch at the university of

bristol, in the u. k researchers are working on simulating the different layers of human skin to allow robots to have a real human touch. 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 cold facts in a similar way to, to human skin. but instead of having no effect things, we instead bouncing camera inside the sense so we could see the cable coming from here. so that picks up that, that movement to place pillay that of 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. users can turn in the direction 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 ai 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 mechanical 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 the 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 by head as a supplement to

a walking stick with one big advantage. it one uses about obstacles that head level tube. this smart gadget has similar 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 class. can you see anything? oh, oh. well i'm talking to you. oh,

this is a new way of being able to communicate and be included within within think you're i, debbie hon. this tech is one that's already well known from movies subtitling. but these augmented reality classes convert 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 timed narrative, which enables me to be informed. it lay asleep to be involved in ode 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 uses of probably seen before and ability to

send audio intakes of captions. what we're doing though, is then taking those captions and putting them into open to reality. in pakistan, the up connector connects deaf people which 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 denials, quite a while our bank interview opening an account robin. but any account hospitals scenario is some emergency scenarios, way of communication as bay important. of course, communication is crucial and creating a society that's more inclusive to people with disabilities. and communication can happen through music to american dance. a robert 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 we're all dancers, we're all musicians and that's the principle behind the motion. composer about it enables us all to experience those instincts on 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 or workshops and writers of joy in brown's workshops. asteroid, as the 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 bright in and let us know fear next time. ah

a license to kill insecticides. the chemical movie is destroying our ecosystem. that poisonous pills are responsible for the biggest infect extinction. the history of the earth stretch tomor health. it goes to show how unnecessary insect decides actually on me next. on d, w ah, in many countries, education is still a privilege. tardy is one of the main causes some young children work in mind. jobs

instead of going to class. others can attend classes only after they finish working with millions of children all over the world can't go to school. we ask why? because education makes the world more just a make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah thing i think that it, insects are unpleasant things that call around.
