well prepared teams in the tournament, they've been together for the past 8 months in a training camp that is a long time. some players have actually left their clubs and only trained with the national team for this whole time. so there's also the fact that they are the host nation. there is all the buzz and excitement and kind of a dark horse because nobody really knows anything about them. but what i can tell you is, is that they are expecting a win tonight against ecuador. all right, denny, i boss alona in cattle. thank you very much. i'm back with the news in 45 minutes. shift is up next. ah ah, again, they get all the harvesters, are immigrants, dolock it, they call everything you enjoy, eating at home with your family, was harvested by people who are being exploited when it's done decently. and we're going to need to hand we keep doing what we're doing. and that's why your

green revolution is absolutely necessary. euro revealed the future is being determined. now, our documentary theory will show you how people do companies and countries are rethinking everything. and making may take change. you revealed this week on d. w. ah, we in our day in age, it seems like robots can do almost anything. they can cook for us, entertain senior citizens, and build our cas. how well this all works in practice and how helpful roberts, truly our. that's our topic on shift today. ah, i should in 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, i'm now working in their stead. can this baron munich, a robot, mixes the cocktails, like many bars seem here, is short staffed and making mojitos can be time consuming robots. 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. it's just here to support us. human bartenders 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,
10:18 am
but he can't talk back or complain. no, but seriously, it takes a lot of her hand. robots are becoming more technologically advanced and sophisticated in their motor skills. the coven 19 pandemic, has ramped of interest in this type of technology. during part to staff shortages under desire for contactless food preparation, they're also used for service. so move economists li, while others assist weight staff with carrying dishes. still robotics expert henny been more skeptical of their practicality. i'm not convinced that they actually are really helpful because oftentimes they are slower than 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 for a robot that requires you know, cleanness in order to work and efficiency. so personally, i would also say that's mostly a gimmick to day,
10:19 am
but they may change in the future. so there's still a ways to go humanoid robles in particular, remain a daunting task for developers, like optimise a robot developed by car manufacturer. tesla at a reason presentation is still seemed pretty clunky. but teslas e o unit 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 hum day. that's no surprise given that the automotive industry is one of the most automated sectors. mm. robots have long been used in the automotive industry. and they're ideal for mass production ones program to they can work on specific tasks almost entirely without breaks and without human assistance. currently,
10:20 am
collaborative robots, also known as co bus, are supposed to assist and support human employees. but it's not always that straightforward. so when the robot needs to interact and co 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 task the change and evolve and take on some of the more physically strenuous parts of the job working in tandem with human employees. still co butts are all too common 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
10:21 am
interaction and collaboration with the human partner. so that may involve something like a hand off of an object to human pop partner, or it may involve collaboratively lifting an object, a heavy object. so it's still a very narrow task, a start up knowing how robotics is working on, expanding the functionality of po box by acquitting them with cognitive skills. more complex sensors allow the robots to have a better perception of their environment and differentiate between human, an art jackson. do machine learning. the robots are expected to their new tasks much faster without having to be reprogrammed. so again, robots have only ever performed supporting tasks like grabbing an object and placing it somewhere or not 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
10:22 am
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, peppered the robots, is there to help guide the residence. the robots is also programmed to tell fairy tales and play games in can be a welcome change of pace for both the residents as well as for the caregivers. i think i like working with pepper hop. i had it been, hey, i'm tick lisa. and as you can see, the residents are also delighted that the guys, the peppers here to entertain the residence. i 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, ven, waynesburg oh, humans have the tendency to over trust the technology and to project. yeah, they want 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 couldn't exploit in their tendencies and their vulnerabilities. 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. no manhattan, many people suffering from dementia tend to get lonely and become closed down from their surroundings. that's why it's important to have
10:24 am
a high quality of life as you get older, you know, i see them in the, in that they will use 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. luckily we might want to say it's cute and cuddly and it has a certain temperature like and hug it if it's not your tom, this is a product that has been designed to wanting 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 ones 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
10:25 am
help communicate, give therapy and provide social stimulation even in 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 into actions is problematic. amy when vines berg has a different approach when it comes to how robot technology should be used. we've seen driven panoramic 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 to look at how well this works in action. ah, this delivery robot struggles that 1st, but soon, managers to get back on track. starship technologies is one of the many companies
10:26 am
integrating robots into their business model. the robots deliver packages and groceries, right to users doorsteps in a stony of capital tallen t real. so lovey of is testing it out to day. 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 unlocked the lid to retrieve their goods. in tiling each delivery costs one euro. the are fully in control of the timing much more so than was a human korea. so you can had 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 dr. autonomy? li, using a mix of computer vision and g. yes,
10:27 am
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 kilometers per hour, a brisk pace for pedestrian, but there are a few other limitations. first of all, volume delivery as limited, the range from the store is limited to and sir, 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 and tell him these driverless delivery robots from clever and have recently started operating in normal traffic at speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour. however, there are still humans in the background checking that everything runs smoothly.
10:28 am
robots and humans working as a team. robotics expert, hey, need been a more believes 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 and the 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, that is no by ah ah,
