this is winning this year's title over a month ago and raised to his 7th whole of the season in saturdays qualifying the bus and federal heading into his final res, before retirement took 9th planes are aston martin. ah, that's the latest date of all your news. this our up next is our tech show shift ameria evans, dean from me and the entire news team here in berlin. thanks for the company with her. i'm just kinda, i want that's hard. and in the end they send me, you're not locked up to you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar with this? with the smugglers reliance as of the what's your story?

a he wasn't, i was women, especially victims of violence in and take part and send us your story. we are trying always to understand this new culture. so you are not a visitor, not the guests. you want to become a citizen. in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information in our day and age, it seems like robles can do almost anything. they can cook for us, entertain senior citizens and build our cars. how well this all works impact as and how helpful robots truly are. and so a topic on shift today ah

robots are increasingly being integrated into the hospitality industry and for good reason. in berlin alone, 10000 fewer people are working in hotels and restaurants then before the coven 19 pandemic. it's a problem. the sector is facing globally. people all around the world have left the food service industry. and in some cases, robles are now working in their stead. and this barren munich, a robot, mixes the cocktails, like many bars. the team here is short staffed, and making mojitos can be time consuming robot. some supports the team staying the nose up in the middle by the same amount of people on staff as before. meaning we're not planning to replace anybody with the robot is just here to support us. human bar tenders can get tired out from certain tasks, but the robot can go on and on. like squeezing lines, for example. i like the robot quite alive,

but he can't talk back or complain. no, but seriously it takes a lot of her hand. robots are becoming more technologically advanced, unsophisticated in their motor skills. the coven 19 pandemic has ramped up interest in this type of technology to impart to staff shortages under desire for contactless food preparation. they're also used for service. so move a ton of mostly while others assist weight staff with carrying dishes. still robotics expert henny been a more skeptical of their practicality. i'm not convinced that they actually are really helpful because oftentimes they are slower than a human. and of course, these kind of environments are also sort of messy environments. you have to clean up and so on. and that's not always amenable or the right kind of environment or a robot that requires you know, cleaners in order to work and efficiency. so personally, i would also say that mostly in gimmick today,

but they may change in the future. so there's still a ways to go. humanoid robots, in particular, remain a daunting task for developers. like optimise, a robot developed by car manufacturer, tesla at a recent presentation, it still seemed pretty clunky. but teslas, e o u, a mosque is convinced that optimal will support or even replace industrial workers in a few years and he wants to produce millions of them. i for one and very curious to see how that plays out. the robots developed by boston dynamics seem far more agile and refined. the company was acquired by hyundai. that's no surprise given that the automotive industry is one of the most automated sectors. ah, rollbacks have long been used in the automobile industry and they're ideal for mass production ones program to think of that straightforward. 2

so when the robot needs to interact, employ exist with humans, then things become tricky because it's not easily foreseeable what humans will be doing, how they will behave, what new things they may be coming up with, etc. so dealing with humans is one of the challenges here, but also dealing with tasks that change and evolve, ah, car manufacturer for just experimenting with direct collaboration between humans and robots. here the co bought can take on some of the more physically strenuous parts of the job working in tandem with human employees. still co bots are all to come in yet. even though quotes are being adopted in the automotive industry, it's only about 5 percent. and even then, they're actually focused on very limited tasks that involve rather limited interaction and collaboration with the human partner. so that may involve something

like a hand off of an object to a human puff partner. or it may involve collaboratively lifting an object, a heavy object. so it's still a very narrow task. the start up noise la robotics is working on expanding the functionality of co bots by acquitting them with cognitive skills. more complex sensors allow the robots to have a better perception of their environment and differentiate between humans and objects. through machine learning, the robots are expected to their new tasks much faster without having to be reprogrammed. robots have only ever performed supporting tasks like rubbing an object and placing it somewhere on the content of robots with their ability to understand the environment and react to it's suddenly become skilled workers. there's no question. robles are incredibly useful when it comes to industrial work with advancing artificial intelligence and increasingly refined moto skills. they

will be able to take on even more tasks. but do we really want robles to be working in all sectors? for example, what do you want a robot to help take care of your grandmother? either i love exercising. come and join me if you like. time to get moving in this german nursing home pepper the robots is there to help guide the residence. the robots is also programmed to tell fairy tales and play games in candy king that a welcome change of pace for both the residents as well as for the caregivers. as if i like working with pepper all by eating, hey, i'm take lace and as you can see, the residents are also delighted because peppers here to entertain the residence. i is ideally the low but should free up the caregivers, allowing them more time for individual care. but so far, the stuff is needed to supervise. social robots like pepper should not be expected

to do what humans can do, says robotics ethicist amy van waynesburg. oh, humans have the tendency to over trust the technology and to project. yet they wants the robot to be its brand. so they believe in their mind that it is a friend. and i think especially when we're talking about people who are older and lonely in the home, we need to find more creative solutions so that they can have companionship. not a technology at a could exploit their tendencies and their varner is lot. the robots is geared specifically toward eliciting happy emotions. cuddly and soft with big eyes and a warm body temperature. this robots ability to help patients with dementia is being tested in denmark. now men had to many people suffering from dementia tend to get lonely and become closed off from their surroundings. that's why it's important to have a high quality of life as you get older, you know, i see them in the, in that they are new as quincy. the 1st results from the study on low votes showed

that were some positive effects, like making people smile. but researchers also found there were no significant improvements overall on the social well being of patience. the lucky we might want to say it's cute and cuddly and it has a certain temperatures like and hug it. if it's not your don, this is a product that has been designed to want you to hug it so that it can record your heart rate so that it can get more data out of you and provide benefit economic benefit for the company. amy van once berg as opposed to increasingly humanoid care robots. instead, they should resemble precisely what they are. machines in the robotics industry, many beg to differ as the android sophia shows. social robots, like me, can help take care of the sick or elderly in many kinds of health care and medical uses. i can help communicate, give therapy,

and provide social stimulation even and difficult situations. i'll be honest with you. i very much hope that sophia will never be my caregiver. i think using robust to replace human interactions is problematic. amy, when vines berg has a different approach when it comes to how robot technology should be used. we've seen the river pandemic that we are not taking good care of our caregivers. and if a robot can help us take care of our caregivers. and we have a really fantastic shot at using a technology for pick. one specific example, so called robotic exoskeletons, which help care give us lift and carry. robots can also run errands within care homes, but also out and about, we had a look at how well this works in action. this delivery robot struggles that 1st, but soon managers to get back on track. starship technologies is one of the many companies integrating robots into their business model. the robots deliver packages

and groceries, right to users, doorsteps in a stony as capital tallen t real. so lovey of is testing it out today, the surge didn't work as well as i was hoping, but otherwise i got what i, what i was hoping to get. and then placing and confirming the water was completely smooth as well. with the app. customers can place orders, track the delivery, and finally unlock the lid to retrieve their goods. in tile, in each delivery costs $1.00 euro, you are fully in control of the timing much more so than was a human korea. so you can have a time into your arrival if you don't want to interact was a human for quote related reasons. for example, the robot can actually make you feel more safe. the robots drive autonomy really using a mix of computer vision and g p as to arrive at their destination in order to avoid

obstacles along the way. they're equipped with 12 cameras, ultrasound sensors, radars, and neural networks. they move at 6 car readers per hour, a brisk days spread pedestrian, but there are a few other limitations. first of all, volume, all delivery is limited and the range from the store is limited to. and sir, it, it cannot go up the stairs, especially for people with mobility issues. that's a problem. they have to go down and pick it up and hold it back up themselves. so it's still gonna take some time before robots will manage, climbing the stairs to your apartment door for people like me who live on the 5th floor. there's definitely room for improvement, but the developers are working on it. in talon, these driverless delivery robots from club and have recently started operating in normal traffic speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour. however, there are still humans in the background checking that everything runs smoothly. robots and humans working as a team. robotics expert, hey, need been

a more beliefs that is the way to go. personally, i think the best way of leveraging robotics technology is to have them interact and combine their abilities together with humans such that it's a synergistic combination. so if we combine the flexibility in at a patient abilities of the human and the abilities of manipulating and dealing with heavy object, repetitive motions doing something again and again from the robot that i think we get the best of both worlds. and we get something that enriches our human society to robots, improve our lives. and could you imagine working side by side with one? personally, i wouldn't mind having a robot co host was your take, let us know bye bye. ah ah. g
