the words people have to say, that's why we listen to every weekend on d w. it's sometimes hard to keep pace with high tech development. but intelligent robots are helping us go higher, faster and further. think of this, i think we'll be able to improve the lives of millions of people that can come on the ground under water and in the skies. a range of innovative ideas are making the world a safer place the

shortly before their actual destination. this driver sees something that might be of interest to his european passenger. yeah. yeah. yeah. have it. yeah. for sure. i feel like this is tom, for them is the 1st time in malawi, the 32 year old german has big plans. and what he sees here is most encouraging people to do that checkups. yeah. yeah. so not inside the people come yet line of yeah. and you treat them who despise people. it's a good example for showing what it's really light codes here, at clinic with new electricity or water and monday morning for people based

certainly get help once a month just because i use misplaced turning off with forced to that area there. about 6 by 6 meters, it could definitely be another hub to connect to our network, no problems. and that's big, big time, hopefully a hub in this case, being a mini airfield, the not for plains, but for drones. the operations and consumer who have been running for, for years to actually to find the door and the operations that you, if you want to show me around, i'm happy, but i don't want to stopped operation. the good to you guys. i love to see the latest model of the drone. the $198.00 finds that speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour and can vary in pay load of 5 kilograms to a destination. 65 kilometers away. as the wind comforter is the brainchild of

talking to me, you can see the drone. there wasn't a mice quotes had the biggest impact to me and who i am today is my time and gone to a west africa on of us. so was people were dying there simply because medication wasn't available when it was needed. i mean, what the data was it dr. beasen finds out at the moment i thought to and if we can help to change things, we must, which is why we're doing what we do here, there's and see from get us off to bonus. so at the tone, when i just chose, i then studied film at college, back in germany. i was coming back and wondered about the technology available on the mid come with us, especially drones able to fly anywhere. phone coming in is i can smoke some so and in the final you use them to transport medication coming in or step not going to come into financing. that was 7 years ago since then, the bomb or film student has bounded a cargo drone company together with like minded engineers. and i teach specialists,

an enterprise earning millions and sales from commercial delivery services operating in 15 countries around the world. but tom has never lost sight of his humana, terry, and gold, those medical and social because you with this we now have over 20 young local people who have learned everything from scratch. i'm just going to have problems with my job. so in addition to improving and saving lives by supplying vaccines, look for a tree samples, blood reserves, and medicine, and then we really can also create jobs. would you do this and some of those young people and that will have a job as well paid and involves future technology. which is great, but he does is i can use decibels as ultima. and now in consumer future technology is being used to provide basic medical care to over a 100000 people. so he just received an order for me to have access to him

to they have run out of medicine and now we pick it up, branch as a drawing and send that makes it good. them the list, it's become the list we get. let us know what's needed in real time. kinetic good. in this case, a skin, there's a little hospital pharmacy that stokes and medication, that kind of thing, which is not available. item the village is, let's see. it has an indifferent 4 kilometers away from the fly. top is the main hospital up cuz some of the medical supplies in the drones. the transport them are funded by the german ministry for economic cooperation and development and the malawi and health authorities. the limits for the chain key material from the small clinics in the countryside are difficult to reach out with poor infrastructure and routes on the drone can solve that problem in

a matter of minutes via the air losing this problem, we can pick up the items here called the hospital, it was of course, happy that the clinic center is normally difficult to reach. i know suddenly being supplied a short notice includes ebony as the batteries are inserted and final checks are performed. the weather has cons considerably since the tropical storm. a few days ago, the in the switch city of zurich, other innovative mindset, created an odd looking contraption, made of plastic and aluminum. its makers called the canine looking creature, an e mail, due to its ability to go anywhere its battery operated and can walk, see steel, climb and lie down for rest. all on its own, inventor peter funk house, built his 1st robot over 10 years ago while studying at zuric technical university

. that he helped develop anymore and now directs a team of 110 people going through to hobbies when i was a kid, i was fascinated. find moving parts of the thing and i sold it. small soto sounds from an electrical storm to somebody. they got motors to see what was possible to seeing the vitamin come with them to boston with legal punch base. and i later got into programming and that's how all the hardware and software came together with robotics again at the center. you can get this in to meet this day. a guy has turned any mile into a small robo dog that can now monitor industrial facilities and certainly alarm when it detects irregularities. this human error is still the number one cause of accidents and the robot doesn't make these mistakes. so we can ensure safe operations while keeping individuals out of danger. so we also, in an indirect sense,

the robot saves lives that are within the paper. the current edition has already been tried out in working environments, considered high risk for humans. tasks involving carol as heights. but we're gas leak skinner chrome. it also has no trouble of working in total darkness for wet conditions. the, the, the new model will soon be tested as a guard and sniffer dog, for used by one of the world's largest corporations. but 1st, the quadrate. that has to master a challenging training course is i'm well, it's to my mind and peter funk, how's a start? the test that will look into now on a docking station. fully charged and ready for deployment. kind of looks like i said, we'll have the same set up at the client's premises with the robot ready to go. and

us starting the mission from here. so i'll send you stuff the. this is a test mission. the robot goes on to and to read the display, then goes off. his desk, comes back down and scans a few of the elements of i couldn't amend 1000 thanks to it's regular and thermal imaging cameras. any miles can analyze what it seeing and forwards the data. at crucially, for working in industrial plants, it can scale stairs. sensors and the legs enabled the machine to feel the ground underneath. with that information stored by the unit, it learns continuously from every training session. test mission completed. perfect . as of now we can send it on its way until 2nd. the client is b a s f that's headquarters and lunatics. huffman covers some 10

square kilometers. one of the largest chemical complexes in the world. the workforce of 39000 works on building blocks for everything from plastics and pains to solvents. and if he sits devoted to is a robotics expert at the company and is eager to see how the 4 legged help her affairs on its maintenance tour. okay. every gets dodge, literally on the ground, and in a minute i'm expecting the robot to deliver what it promises so. so hopefully your 1st please be as of this testing a range of models from different suppliers anymore. x can be leased for around $8000.00 euros per month. this is the 1st time we're going to these 2 points to look at the displays and then take the thermal image of the 2 pump sunday. it detects the pressure display and then interprets the information, the defense,

i guess that once we look at the 2nd one, we'll see that it's up and running. then it's on the side, downtown them in the end of the say, i think the last thing that the 1st test involves any more relaying another thermal image to the display, which it does. it also passes test number 2, walking across a grid floor. now the ultimate challenge that yeah, this is that this one, the robot has to scale these 2 sections of stance, fully autonomously. for potential client b ss, this is the make or break the test. the ships is physically at managed to hit those target locations and make its way up the standards of, of, of the proper a full sized suburbans and come to mind

a milestone for us. right now my understanding of this k 9 is no cuddly, companion made of metal and trained with a guy. it's a fully fledged guard and watch dog the malawi ranks among the poorest countries in the world. intact roads or rarity which hampers the provision of medical care, especially in rural areas. while infant mortality is balling it still 10 times higher than in germany, for example. the delivery of medication has been prepared for a remote village. the drone is almost ready for take off at the air field outside as soon as we got minutes of the. so with a medicine that on board, the drone is about to take off vertically. but i live at and these,

and then i'll be driving to the village with andy to see what a challenge that is. it's a direct comparison between how it used to be met with the drug defense and you admitted one of the car and drove and we'll both be setting off from the custodial air field. their destination is the village of live ac, about 48 kilometers away. the drone finds its destination via gps coordinates. tom truman is joined by on the percentage wing comforters, head of humanitarian programs. the the wing comforter is a helicopter, and small airplane in one. the vertical take off brings the machine to its flying altitude of about 30 meters. then the rotors tilt 90 degrees to propel the comforter forwards with lift provided by the wings. just like a plane. the only paid roads in malawi are those connecting the main towns and

cities once they leave them tom prima and his team continue their journey on dirt tracks the sea and the ho his it is through. okay. compared to what we would see now is this the worst it so yes, there that exist in a good road. yeah. this is 15 minutes after starting out. the drone is just a few kilometers away from its destination. while the car is having serious trouble getting through the mud and potholes the, the land route is clearly losing the race that the cars progress goes from slow to a complete halt. the

the, the, the delivery drone reaches its destination without incident and lands on schedule. it needed precisely 20 minutes for the 48 kilometers flight. in the same time the car has not even covered half the distance and now it's stuck. business like really the classes that i did when did you know how deep the water is when i give them your name? oh okay, let's go and can we? can we go and check if there's a way around? yeah, i think that it'd be best flooding is not uncommon during the rainy season. a potential disaster if this were a medical emergency thompson that is determined to continue his journey, even though he's lost the race against the wing comforter.

back in germany, in the port of hamburg, we joined a 30 strong research team working to save the ocean's. fits so can you close 30 percent as could be 20 or 30 centimeters above the sea bed? yeah, the research project is called see clear. apply on the words clear view and clean sea step on, so it's not sky and his international team have a boat packed with high tech to help them clean up waters that are both murky and polluted, the conan, sucking finish. and so we can find things and grabs them with real bucks. i've seen that kind of image them, and then these ones operate under water. so what about the bottom you, mr. so why not use them to tackle this big problem of region where other methods it

kind of helps them come into the house for the wrong foot ones. the challenge for us is extremely complex. nature of the settlement. the next assist you in this whole team is you need everything to work together for the entire system to function at home with this. cuz i'm this team is a helpful to me and kind of the problem with some of this. we need at least some kind of solution that's a genuine help because there's far too much marine litter on the. see that often we have is conflict marine debris washing up on beaches is a grilling challenge for environmental activists. the vast majority of it is on the c bed, at depths too dangerous for divers. it's estimated that there is far in excess of a $100000000.00 tons of waste in our oceans. the distinct, clear research team have successfully completed an initial trial run here in croatia. robots able to work at depths of up to 500 meters,

can be used to clean this even near ports and coastlines, at least after scanning the c panel and locating a spot with a lot of garbage. the boat drops a robot into the water to transmit close up images. additional data is provided by an airborne surveillance strong. another robot can then go and pick up the debris and collected in a waste basket. st. claire is an a you funded project that provides a small scale demonstration of how the c bed might in the future be cleaned up on a far larger scale. the trial run in croatia was a success in hamburg, the same technical set of faces of far tougher task. the bottom of the river elbow is covered in silver settlement and money making garbage. they are often in this

both to the naked eye. even the cameras fitted onto the little dining robots struggled to see anything, the inc. lots and i'm going to give you information. we had about 20 to 25 meters visibility here . it's 25 centimeters. let's see. so we can see here how we can't even recognize objects that were practically right next to. so that doesn't exactly make it any easier to find that identify things like that. so you did different sealants within the port visibility means they must deploy an ultra sound scanner to search for objects these to brian, to sponsor the 2 and the many trays where we have stored the garbage onto shines. it's no time for the robots to take over. the only thing the team can do now is operate the cameras. while the mothership puts the waste basket in place on the

bottom of the river, the observation robot starts looking for debris with a camera. and so not ok. now a 2nd robot fitted with a grip or is launched. we would manage to find the bottle detected by the so not good i think refer, seems to be right over it is it's not too close that i 5 and it's grabbed it. that's how i define, discussing a firm, hold on the bottle. how does this lesson? so now we can get going in the system. we'll place it in the basket. probably. it's a mammoth undertaking for one plastic model. the project is often a thankless task, as is typical for research. will the settlement prove to tough a challenge for the artificial intelligence? but this guy could be the basket. the task

to like the best we have the best good. that's good. just trying you deleted the grip or manage to find the waste basket. despite being practically blind, it's next task is to locate the entry hold for depositing the bundle. it's like it's of also is moving and we've recovered it. i'm good. good job. nice, yeah, it isn't because we, we just managed to grab the bottle at the 1st attempt item, which is great, but because that's a major milestone for our project on google by this time for them to put it gives us reassurance and it has to be nice see what else we can achieve and we're going to have, this is the view of the future is eventually having these systems all over the world and come to, to clean up the sea and go some ways of freeing it from the legacy of our sins and

i've lost some positive wisdom before i am kind of the underwater trash collection system works regardless of visibility. conditions with no need for diapers. the only human being required in future will be the person emptying the waste basket. the torrential rain in malawi has rendered the roads impassable when comforter boss tom prima and his team are still trying to reach the remote village of live ways the by car. but it usually tranquil a little stream is flooded its banks the. wow, can you check how deep it is? the the water gets progressively deeper in the middle. asked to do. okay. finish

as a horse. and it says because the new and that's like the inside of the semester, i get the water is up to here on the lights out of it, but the car probably won't make it and will have to abort the journey. i do not advise this is exactly why trying to deliver medicine quickly by car simply doesn't work. and why are drew's other perfect solution to the problem. one can order those things and so that's probably on their way back to consumer. the team take a short detour to the village of lin yang, y to raise a bundle lives here with her 4 children. she experienced complications with the birth of her youngest son philip a year ago. the lady was saved by health from the sky. the daughter, my child almost suffocated at bus and i was extremely scared. he was going to die

because we didn't have advice to a tube at the bonita. but luckily help arrived just in time for that had great difficulty breathing and otherwise she would definitely have stuff that contributed over me. the wing comforter is a small miracle for the community of 150 people and the big, the listing. the all electric drone is unloaded by my talking mcdonald, who runs the local health care center. it was he who made the emergency call for the tube to save philip. the drone make several visits a week to provide the doctor with medical supplies. the lightsaber $0.07 the tom to man himself. the father of 2 children is personally moved by the story of little philip the and the see you,

you good is this is have one. so how is kind of doing some she was going to always, you know to this, she was saying that uh since she was born can you can just okay and is just fine in the briefing is increasing is good. yes, he's just reading no money. no ma'am, sure. because there's different kind of philip story shows exactly how effective our work is. in fact, like, you know what i find in wing culture 7 years ago. this was exactly what i was hoping for a step. so that a child like phillips being can survive and be sitting here in their phillips. he hasn't come yet. even then with that because the mother just said that she wants him to be a drone pilot. when he grows up there been a month and we do also train young people in your house. so when he's maybe 12 or older, he can start learning the technology and us that new taishan. and when he's really

growing up, i think you'll be one of our brilliant employees here in malawi, in my life, back at the wing comforter hub thompson, that takes a video call from switzerland. the world economic forum has awarded him the title of the young global leader for his commitment to actively addressing the world's most pressing issues. hello, i'm happy to meet you. i'm in the law. we. uh, this is where we operate. so i visited the site. you can see in the background actually if you want, i can show you if you liked it quickly and it didn't keep it as title alone opens door or something. and because you're recognized by a respected organization that does a lot of good work in the world kind of, i mean it's just so now we can suddenly sit down with ministers and see what can we do for a country like malawi, inventory, i will know if the road is outward wide, so my, my dream is to, to bring this a kind of delivery service which is in minutes life saving to any places in the world. so if you, if we can team up on this,

this is why i am delighted to be part of the why just take sheet accelerate and scalar this impacts we have already here most gave. all right? and then we'll just quickly introduce this have and say what we're doing here. we have 3 hub about 30 delivery sites and we have a team of 9 pilots that are running the operations. so it's really wonderful. thank you. and i can show you the joint. it's like a 2 minutes or winston. here's your template, the batteries and below is actually the panel. and then uh, yeah, we have an hulu few here. tom is one of a 100 young people around the world to be commended in 2023 for their efforts to provide solutions to humanitarian or climate related problems. most of them are, but you have to work with decision makers. just make them aware of situations like this, especially with the suffering and the solution. you mind actually creating something that will change things in the long term, doesn't end up come this thing, this fear in today's world with all the modern means available,

is unacceptable for some people to get nothing of what we have unless you to let us know. we haven't really privilege lives in germany and leaving this when you come here and see what other people really don't have if you think, lucas, miss, how can i not do more this? it never leaves my mind enough to him, and the systems dispossessed with miss. i'm listening to dedicated to minutes joining forces with intelligent machines as they seek to eliminate hazards and saved lives with high tech help the

pulse, the beginning of a story that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspectives culture information. this is the, the news w. mine's a lifelong relationship. is that nobody teases for themselves. siblings, they help see and challenge us. what role do they play in our development, sibling rivalry. in 75 minutes on d, w. these places in europe smashing stepped into

a bowl that's been said the treasure map for more than glad to discuss some of us wrinkled bragging sites on youtube and also the this is dw news, and these are our top stories. you as president joe biden as israel to take what he called less intrusive action of guys as big as hospital all sheets and says it must be protected. the world health organization says the hospital can no longer function sizing, and the area has trapped the patients and stuff. israel says her mazda has a command post under the hospital former british prime.
