in age, it seems like robots can do almost anything they can cook for us and retain senior citizens and build our costs. how well this all works, impact is, and how helpful robots truly our. that's our topic on shift today. the robots are increasingly being integrated into the hospitality industry and for good reason. in berlin alone, 10000 few of people are working in hotels and restaurants then before the cove of 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, robots, i'm not working invested in this far and unique a robot mixes the cocktails, like many bars. the team here is short staffed and making more heat. those can be time consuming pro, but some supports the team sting and those are for the same amount of people on

staff as before. meaning we're not planning to replace anybody with the robots. it's just here to support us. human bar tenders can get tired out from certain tasks, but the robots can go on and on. like squeezing lines, for example, of age, pretty nice. i liked the robot quite a lot. you can talk back or complain. no, but seriously, it takes a lot of our hands. robots are becoming more technologically advanced and sophisticated, their motor skills. the corporate 19 pandemic has ramped of interest in this type of technology to in part, to stop shortages. and the desire for contactless food preparation are also used for service. so move economist lee, while others assist white stuff with carrying dishes. still robotics expert, have you been a more skeptical of their practicality? i am not convinced that they actually are really health or because oftentimes they

are slower than human. but 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 require us, you know, clean limits in order to work and efficiency. so personally, i would also say that's mostly a 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 optimised a robot developed by calm, manufacturer, tesla. the reason presentation is still seemed pretty clunky, but test, let's see. oh you, the mosque is convinced that often those will support or even replace industrial workers in a few years and he wants to produce millions of them. i football and i'm very curious to see how that plays out. the robots developed by boston dynamic seen tom . more ads are and we find the company was acquired by hyundai. that's no surprise

given that the automotive industry is one of the most automated sectors. the robots have long been used in the automotive industry, and they're ideal for mass production. once programs, they can work on specific tasks to almost entirely without breaks and without human assistance. currently collaborative robots, also known as co bucks, are supposed to assist and supports human employees. but it's not always that straightforward. so when the robot needs to interact and to exist with humans, then things become tricky because it's not easily foreseeable what humans will be doing, how they will behave, um, what's new things they may be coming up with, etc. so dealing with humans as one of the challenges, you know, but also dealing with task the change and evolve a car

manufacturer for just experimenting with direct collaboration between humans and robots. here the co bard can take on some of the more typically strenuous parts of the job working in tandem with human employees. still co butts are all too common yet. even though cool, lots of being adopted in the automotive industry. it's only about 5 percent, and even then they actually focus on very limited tasks that involve rather limited interaction and collaboration with a human partner. so that may involve something like a hand off of an object to a human pop partner or meaningful collaboratively listing object. heavy object, so it's still a very narrow task. the start up noise slow robotics is working on expanding the functionality of co box by and flipping 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 task 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 by and there is no question. robles 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 robots to be working in all sectors? for example, what do you want the robot to help take care of your grandmother? i love exercising. come and join me if you like. time to get moving and this german nursing home pep of the robots is there to help guide the residence. the robot is

also programs to tell fairytales and play games and change of pace for both the residents as well as for the caregivers. i think i like working with pepper all but it's been a i'm ticklish. and as you can see, the residents are also delighted with the guys peppers here to entertain the residents. ideally, the robot 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 as assessed. maybe even waynesburg the humans have the tendency to over and trust the technology and to project that they wants the robot to be expensive. 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 alone, me in the home, we need to find

a more creative solution so that they can have companionship. not the technology that it could explain to their tendencies and their vulnerabilities. little thoughts. the robots is geared specifically toward eliciting happy emotions. cuddly and soft with big eyes and a warm body temperature. this robot's ability to help patients with dimension is being tested in denmark. no manhattan minutes 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, ask them and it is that they will do is create, see the 1st results from the study and robots showed, there were some positive effects like making people smile. but researchers also found the were no significant improvements overall on the social well being of patients that we might want to say to, to catalina, that has a certain temperature. so i can, how give just this is not your dog. this is a product that has been designed to watch for me to hug it so that it can record

your heart rate so that it can get more data or of you and provide benefit economic benefit for the company. maybe find one spirit as opposed to increasingly human knowledge care of robots. instead, they should resemble precisely what they are machines and the robotics industry many beg to differ as the android so fee, it shows social robot. second, you 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 stimulations 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. aim even binds, but as a different approach, when it comes to how robot technology should be used. we've seen trip tend to make that we are not taking good care of our caregivers. and robots can help us take

care of our caregivers. and we have a really fantastic shop and using technology for good. one specific examples, so called robotic exoskeletons, which help caregivers lift and carry robots can also run errands within k homes, but also out and about, we had to look at how well this works, inaction, this delivery robot struggles that 1st. but soon, managers to get back on track. star ship technologies is one of the many companies integrating robots into their business model. the robots deliver packages and groceries, right to users doorsteps in his stony as capital talent, t real. so lovely of is testing it out today that search 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 confirmed me the order was completely smoked as well. with the app, customers can place orders,

track the delivery, and finally, unlock the lid to retrieve their goods. in thailand, each delivery costs one euro. they are fully in control over the timing much more so than was a few in korea. so you can have a time into your arrival if you don't want to interact with a human for a quote with related reasons, for example, the robot can actually make you feel more safe. the robots drive a ton of mislead using a mix of computer vision and gps to arrive at their destination. in order to avoid obstacles along the way. they are equipped with 12 cameras, ultra sound sensors, radars, and neural networks. they move at 6 club motors per hour, a brisk pace for a pedestrian, but there are a few other limitations. first of all, volleyball delivery is limited, and the range from the store is limited to. and so it is kind of go off 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 pop and 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 drive less delivery robots from 11 have recently started operating in normal traffic speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour. however, they still humans in the background checking that everything runs smoothly. robots and humans working as a team. robotics expert k need been a more believes that is the way to go. personally, i think the best way for leveraging robotics technology is to have them interact and combine their abilities together with humans such that it's the same and just the combination. so if we combine the flexibility in a patient abilities of the human and the abilities of manipulating and dealing with heavy objects, 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 a human society and robots improve our lives and could you imagine working side by side with the wrong? personally, i wouldn't mind having a robot co host was you will take that is no by the hello guys. this is the 77 percent. the platform for these issues and share ideas the, you know, or this channel we are not afraid to pass and then it gets to talk to the young people clearly have the solution, the future of the 77 percent every weekend on dw,

the, every jenny is full of surprises, me it's 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 thoughts in germany. recognizing where exactly it was fun. learn a lot of our culture history, all their travel extremely worth a visit. the .
