to me, which even by ukrainians, that is not a big town, but they didn't show themselves to be such a wonderful sort of efficient fighters and it's siege lots of 10 lots. so probably russian lobby is not going to lose much if they're outside of the loop as well. no . okay. don't use konstantin. a good. thank you very much for the in the . every jenny is one of the surprises. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police the free time, but still very much alive. your guy to the special hot spots in germany

recognizes where exactly it was fine. i've learned a lot of our culture history, all their travel extremely worth a visit. the morning kids from a 1000 miles away or a pet that's never needs to be fed these days that tons of catch, it's designed to bring us closer together or even replace real life social interactions. but can they really help against loneliness? that's all topic on shift today the everyone knows what it's like to be lonely. it's something we all have to go through at one point or another. but if someone switch, the social highlight is the interaction they have with a supermarket,

cassia that something is missing. they'll also many people who aren't physically able to just go out and meet others like the elderly, or people who are sick or disabled. a japanese ment, experience social isolation 1st time when he was a child and he decided to make it his mission to solve it. don't cafe in japan's couple who took here looks like an ordinary coffee shop. a little aside, the risk is and white stuff. there were robots working here too. so most station to tables with a chat with customers, while others around delivering what is the customers who come to this cafe going to interact with the robots and the ones here, especially because they're not controlled by a online video advertising policy, remotely. the advertising pro box are equipped with a camera on the forehead, integration speakers and microphones to enable the human pilots to interact with the customer's opponents of people with disabilities or diseases which restrict

them to working from home or from the hospital. room. one is maya is going this confines that to a wheelchair, hunting for a job, to be in a painful experience until she found to cafe. since the 24 year old mazda is okay with is always had applied to so many job software. i finished university. but i didn't get any offers, like google more. it made me very sad and even depressed. well, i did. i began thinking that i'd never be able to work with it. i was wondering what should i do when i came across this pilot position? quite a with you. it was amazing to work number 4, but if you need to get so maybe you could say it was my last hope. okay, sounds good to say that today. i feel grateful when customers have a good time with me. when someone asks me when i'll be working next to them,

what i'd like to call them i, i do know that that was the best to do all. i wanna say it makes me happy to know when i tell you that i'm helping people in some way. but i still know you're going to, but they're not. they're going to that. the school, my mom, the social project was initiated by ken toto, she fuji, the ceo of the style shop or a lab. it was his own experience of loneliness that inspired him to stop the business. 10 times spent a number of years in hospitals as a child, the and what the she goes on the home. i was away from school for 3 and a half years that i remember always wishing i had a 2nd body from what it must. because if i had another body, even if i was injured or hospitalized, you been, i could still participate in society. new but in my 2nd body was still kind of that

check out and cut some costs are the kinds of robots is often seen as a threat to our jobs. the ken towers 6 to take advantage of the social potential of new technologies they will assist you. and so we don't want to use artificial intelligence robots to make our work more efficient or to reduce the number of people. but rather to create ways we can work and then even if we become fedbid and we're unable to move our bodies back in. so you bustle, think goose title. i'd like you to raise visiting. don't cafe you for the 1st time . she wasn't sure what to expect. from the experience, but she quickly gets used to interacting with the board avatar. i think it's a great project and i hope we can use this as a starting in point to expand on in the future in the state of political. and i'm almost to still keep it that i'm not the most to see. i think it's hard for me to see the connections that have be made between people through verbal

not again. according to a nationwide survey on loneliness in isolation published earlier this year, some 40 percent of people in japan, at least occasionally feel lonely at this cafe robots help overcome social isolation. but for the pilots and for the customers. don't cafe. it's a great example of how technology can help people connect with experts. one it can also make us feel was especially social media, the filaments, as a sophie ologist at cologne, institute for social research and policy. we put the question to have with a digitalization is bringing us closer together or driving us further apart with one of our bows be continued digitalization can help against learn. i know we can find strange as to connect with online and talk about how common interest looks or

troubles. it can help us close the door and pilot because we no longer feel left alone without worries or concerns. or in terms of our preferences, come next and then mr. gonzalez, will the team with the phone he needs to sign but the online world can also make us feel more lonely repeatedly comparing yourself to others on social media can have a negative impact on self esteem. and people who predominantly cultivate digital friendships, may develop problems with real life friendships when i'm online all the time that can lead to me for them out of them i just with the real world interaction out . and then that can reinforce social anxieties, which in turn promote learning that seems to push them and they've got to can stick and clint, there are a high driven tools like replicas, checkbox that can help with loneliness. these are programs to chew up their users and check in regularly, but we shouldn't get too reliant on them,

says dr. unintended minutes. regularly communicating with real people is vital process to get tired of this. what digital technology hasn't been able to replace. and this is very important is into personal have take touch, physical contacts such as touching, hugging, and so on. that raises the question of what the technology should imitate, human physical context, or even try to replace it to the email to config. personally, i would always argue for strengthening real world into personal contact. and oh yes, i'm not. everyone needs physical contacts, but not everyone has the same level of access to it that needs to go through. like a physical contact. that's something people in long distance relationships also struggle with. i mean, nobody who call can replace a kiss, right. and it's not always possible to just hop on the train and visit your papa. but now that's a device that could help. so they can disturb

synthetic loops, confirming your part in this case to you. the idea was born during the curve of 19 looked down some china long last touch of simulates, you're putting those live movements from a saw good, let's say to hire a lady. the essentially, people will find the space and time again for emotional communication that to ensure that that's the best part. just like the invention of we chat or even the telephone to doesn't isolate people from one another. it makes people communicate more frequently and at a lower cost to try to compute hard for them to use the device uses paid to the lips, shake machines and plug them into the charging for this smartphones, which they've been used to video quote, it records uses costanza 3 motion sensors and sends it to the paid device. it moves up slides to see use the kisses, giving us a more basic touch on the streets of beijing. opinions on the silicon. let's differ . i think it's

a necessary mail. you should get addicted to it. no, it's already, it's not some perverse toy, it's for private use. so there's no problem build up on the best, the device cost of the equivalent of soon as you 5 years. and in china, there's a demand for the se, clips in the 1st 2 weeks off to release at least 3000 devices, footboards, and 20000 pre ordered robots design to serve as friends. a companions are especially popular in japan. one of them is nobody from the what's not a robot. nobody has googly. eyes is want to touch and mix cute sounds like this. it's also pretty smart cameras and census, give it 360 degree vision autonomous movement and allow it to distinguish people from objects via the imaging. but robots really be the pets of the future. in japan, these little guys have cost quite booster. we'd love a robot program for companionship since it's launched in 201910000 of them have

been sold in the country. nobody uses $0.50. that is to gauge its owners move. to learn some people's behavior, similar to how a pet but it's a therapeutic role robust, much like an emotional support animal. but can robots replace real pets or even humans? at tokyo's major university professor tucker noted, coma studies how humans interact with various artifacts. as robots become more common, he's analyzing how our relationship to them is evolving to so many decades ago, the robots are bearing. those are very famous among our comics. there's so many people's or go to somebody about the robots. then they're the easiest. so you show, he's a oh ok, try to create a degree of over about to end up like to the, our daily life to resolve the social service, social issues like an aging society and a lack of workers. in a recent survey, professor comments as people in japan in the us,

how they would use robots and situations which separate us from our loved ones, like the pandemic results underlying a higher affinity to robots in japan. ready u. s. people want to use a robot just as a tool to communicate to weezer how many is because themselves want to context weight. so probably these, but the japanese parties font data, they want to use a robot that is set often met a robot. dog or cat isn't like the real thing in generally, the robots of today falls short of what we've seen and films are cartoons. he's verbal, the assume i lays a robot or that kind of has a very the politics problem that's about what you can do. everything that, that's what i want to work in a hosp box and also the can do the homework instead of just do it hands on something like that tomorrow. but the comments, particularly rainbow of the robot is not really high. then the so many people's are the notice on the roads is not very good. the as compared to the always much less

of them to so many peoples are easily disappoint you to be so robust, which you want to love and your life. personally, i go for a real dog, even if that doesn't mean cleaning up after it. it's great that we have robotic pets, chatbox, or chat rooms to help us connect and come about loneliness. but we clearly need to find the right balance. the goal should be to connect virtually and in real life, because even the small, just to con, completed, replace human interaction. what do you think? contact, ever really cure loneliness. auction would be prioritize in something else that us know by writing and thanks for watching and see you next time. the
