this is a reminder about of started here on dw, and use support as a branch of tie, a bad one on making a last push for his re election, attacked as presidents up to you as in cost when the 2nd round of boats and sunday finality feeling securely my jersey 2 weeks ago, as challenger come out to each, the room is also ready and support. and that's your news updates states you and for our technology show ships. it takes a look at how gadgets help people with disabilities lead more independent lives as always as long use on analysis on dw dot com. don't forget to check on our social media. i am at the michael junior. thanks a lot of your time the. how about taking as you read, you could even take a chance on what the query to the don't expect a happy ending. literature list,

german dw, so on picks off, we in fact, every day, the world wide web feel free to leave, the doctor is always highlighted, becomes all the world we can take the different w call, the world, unpack pulse of your info and all the input your w story now on to the and there are many gadgets that help people with disabilities lead more independent lives. for example, glasses that stuff. title spoken conversations in real time for deaf people, or a smart walking stick that the text obstacles with ultra authentic waived for people with low vision tech for more and close city. that's our topic on shift today.

the, when you see robots acting as servers and cars phase, they're typically replacing human employees. but there is a cafe in japan that does things differently. the robots here enabled people with disabilities to take part in work life, but remotely from their own homes. when customers talk to these little robots, the not talking to in the i system that's talking to a real person. like for me cormier, she controls the robot from home. she's walnut about 50 people with physical mental disabilities. working as robot offering says that the dorm cafe in tokyo, japan. she takes customers oldest through the robots and makes recommendations. the bigger robots fence of the food and drinks. the idea is to give people who call and leave the homes due to health reasons, but want to work the opportunity to do so. it's like, like, look into,

you've got as long as i'm alive. i want to give something back to the community by working. can you go community? thank you buddy. you're moving on this to me to you. my says he talks to his customers about everything from his health to the weather. so you put a menu dirty for that, i feel happy if i can be a part of society. it was about to go more. he must read. he may robots are equipped with a camera microphone and speaker allowing customers to talk directly to the operations. hold on me. so what do you mean? customers don't really come here to see a reason me. what are you in the record? they come here because to people behind to reconnect the stairs and they will come back to see them again. and the cafe is operated by or a level retreat. the tech stalls up develops. robots like or region made to come about loneliness. the technology helps breakdown barriers for people with disabilities. doing cafe breaks people with and without disabilities together. a

1st step to what grades for inclusion. assistive technology refers to products, but a people who, for example, can't hear or see, or who are missing a body part. the market for this kind of tech is huge because more than the 1000000000 people world wide live with some form of disability, like jessica smith from australia. she was born with our 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 link operates using artificial intelligence and can learn 14 different groups. this next clip of jessica smiths grocery shopping, demonstrates just how well this tech works and action. so

truly so 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, half or about half human half robots display on it. prosthetic can give us that impression. the device converts electrical impulses from the, for our muscles, into finger brooklyn's, especially after associates group patterns with certain muscle movements uses can configure with themselves at home or low technicians to do it remotely. so we've tried to build and the technology which allows it to connect to the hand anyway, basically in the world on change configuration on the device instantaneously on the fly for the customer. the sensor bracelets is being tested at the university of sydney in australia is designed to detect the slightest movements of attendance which controlled hundreds the southern movements, and then transmitted by

a bluetooth to a program. who taught you a copy of the tunnel like that and move your fingers a little bit. you will see tiny vibrations happening in your wrist. and this, that's how our party moves so fingers. so all of a sensor actually pick up those vibrations and use machine learning any i to make sense of those vibrations to figure out which finger is moving and how much due to a medical condition area and shot has limited mobility in his left hand. he's testing the sensor bracelets by playing simple computer games. his movements are interpreted into the game. it's a lot less movement that you need to use it that i've passed the august highest. we 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 bristo's into

u. k. we searchers are working on simulating the different layers of human skin to a robots to have a real human touch. disc come in handy for making future prosthetics. we 3 d print. not similar structure in colorado, all sufficient skin so that it can respond cold facts in a similar way to save human skin. but instead of having no effect things, we instead mounts a camera in sight, the sensor. and we can see the cable coming from here. so that picks up that movement supposed to feel like that at least this is inside this all spatial scale . 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 scheduled for example . it can be attached to glasses. users can turn in the direction of the 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 involve the same technology that's used in other sectors like autonomy was driving to a only technology that's used to keep a ton of mis vehicles on the road is also useful for pedestrians. this 5 has got just helps blowing on people with low vision, navigate the cities, the cameras imbedded in the device, detect obstacles within a 170 degree angle woman uses with 3 d. sounds like kind of. imagine that like this . if an object is moving towards a user, there's the risk of a collision bypass warren's done with a sound. similar to parking assistant modern cars. if there's an object on your left, you'll hear the obstacle on your left hand side. for sounds indicate where the obstacle is there a different sounds depending on whether it's the call person opened,

that's in the way the defendants as the by pen. as a supplement to a walking stick with one big advantage, it wounds uses about obstacles with head level 2. this smoke gadget has similar features, but instead it attaches to a classic walking stick. we walk, uses ultrasonic sense as in vibrates. when there are obstacles nearby uses can connect the device to the phone by a bluetooth and then use the touch pad to access google maps and virtual assistant 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 smart glasses. they neighbor users to read conversations in real time by converting spoken words into sub titles. is diana martin is deaf. she's trying on smart glasses for the 1st time with a friend. jacqueline press from x ray class, can you see anything what i'm talking to you. cuz

this is a new way of being able to communicate on the include the picture. the idea behind this tech is one that's already well known for movies subtitling. but these augmented reality classes convert spoken words into text and projected instantaneously. this enables spoken conversations to be more inclusive to death. people. as the founder of death kids international steve croup explains. i might not quite catch everything, but this has given me a real time. now a test which enables me to be informed it may lead to be involved in which need to make decisions because i know what is being said. voice recognition algorithms quickly convert spoken language into readable text, which i think that audio stream from the microphone on the gloss as we're running

it through a piece of transcription software, which users have probably seen before. and the ability to type audio insights of captions. well wait, during that we spend taking those captions. i'm putting them in say open to the reality if impact system the connect to your connected death. people with sign language interpreters via video call the interpret spoken language and to sign language and sign language into speech. this helps death, people lead more independence lives scenarios for the cause, our back interview, opening an account problem with any account, hospitalized, and now use some emergency scenarios where uh, communication is very 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. well,

she's everyone could dogs and even the slightest movement produced to sound that was the goal american dumpster roman wexler, set for himself in developing the motion composer. it's been a minor with us for, i believe we're all dancers, world musicians. and that's the principle behind the emotional composer. think about it enables us all to experience those instincts on people with all capabilities. mention it on a face. type a, ready back in the mid 19 seventy's robot wexler began experimenting with motion tracking in new york. you record the dumpsters movements using body centers, and then convert to the movement data into sounds that lead the foundation for the motion. composer which create sounds based on people's gestures. to achieve this, a 3 d camera film,

the person's movements software then converts to sequences into corresponding sounds. the system detects even the smallest motions. the motion composes used in therapeutic clinics and increased of schools. many are moved by the ability to express themselves, autistic lead through movement. the mice and ray and most people are overcome with emotions and joy. it's not unusual to see people crying their workshops via tears of joy and bounce of workshops also right? as a dawn, so robert wexler has often stood in the spot in line with the motion composer. she's created a stage for people who are too often overlooked. i last seen 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 and, and let us know for your next time

the enters the conflicts with sarah kelly. my guess this week on conflicts on was one of the most prominent members of freshman's wealth connected power over former kremlin advisor and economist fair gate. gloria now is the professor of economics and provost that cnn's pope is work illuminates how a foot 3 museums likes to survive. how does he assess? put his grip on power conflict on beautiful. i think he was standing with a shotgun in his hand. he said, lie down and stretched out your legs. i'm not going to kill you. i'm just going to meet you crawl. finally he shot my left leg, then my right leg,
