the secret slide behind these discovered new adventures and 360 degrees and explore fascinating. both heritage slowly dw world heritage 360. now 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 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 see something that might be of interest to his european passengers. yeah. yeah. yeah. how big. wow. yeah. so sure. this is tom for them as the 1st time in malawi. the 32 year old german has big plans. and what he sees here is most encouraging to do the checkups. yeah. yeah. so not inside the people come yeah, yeah. can you treat them who despise people? it's a good example for showing what it's really light codes here. a clinic with new electricity or water and monday morning where people certainly get help once

a month discounts. i usually like to know if with forced to that area there about 6 by 6 meters, it could definitely be another hub to connect to our network. uh huh. no problems and thats back big time probably in hub in this case, being a mini airfield, the not for plains but for drugs operations in custom go have been running for 4 years to actually to find the door and the operations that you if you want to show me around, i'm happy, but they don't want to stopped operation. the good to you guys. i love to see the latest model of the drone. the $198.00 flies at speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour and can ferry in pay load of 5 kilograms to a destination. 65 kilometers away. at the wing comforter is the brainchild of time

between the dimensions. you can see the drum, the what, the mission of mice, the quotes had the biggest impact to me and who i am today is my time and gone to 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 signs or to 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 and see from get stuff off of almost all at the tone when i just sort of, i've been studied film at college, back in germany. how does to me, i can wonder, debate the technology available on the team and come with us, especially drones able to fly anywhere. phone coming in is i can smoke some so and you know, i know you use them to transport medication coming in or stepping on me to come in to 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 specialist an enterprise earning millions and sales from commercial delivery services operating and 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 a problem 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

today and run out of medicine. and now we pick it up branches and draw on and send it except good them the list. it's become the list we get, let us know what's needed in real time. and i think good in this case of skin, there's a little hospital pharmacy that stokes the medication that comes in, which is not available. item the village is, let's see. it has an indifferent 4 kilometers away from the plane top is the main hospital up cuz some of the 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 change he needs to know from the small clinics in the countryside are difficult to reach us with poor infrastructure and rude dismissal. and um, the drawer can solve that problem. in

a matter of minutes via the air elizabeth problem, we can pick up the items here. call the hospitallers, of course, happy that the clinics answers you normally difficult to reach. i know suddenly being supplied a short notice includes ebony for that but as the batteries are inserted and final checks are performed, the weather has come to considerably since the tropical storm a few days ago. the, in this with the city of civic, other innovative mindset, created an odd looking contraption made of plastic and aluminum its makers called the canine looking creature. any moment, due to its ability to go anywhere, its battery operated and can walk, see, feel, 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 zurich,

technical university. or he helped develop any model and now directs a team of 110 people going through to hobbies when i was a kid. i was fascinated by 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, 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. this meet the state. 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 get an indirect

sense, the robot saves lives at the rate. the current addition has already been tried out in working environments, considered high risk for humans tasks involving carol as heights. but we're gas leak, skinner 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 use by one of the world's largest corporations. but 1st, the quandary fed has to master a challenging training course is i'm well, it's in my mind and peter funk house start the test the now on the docking station fully charged and ready for a deployment. expedite, 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

the starting the mission from here and here. stop. com. this is a test mission. the robot goes on fan to read the display, then goes off. his desk, comes back down and scans a few of the elements of i that i meant those thanks to it's regular and thermal imaging. cameras and email can analyze what it seeing and forward the data. and crucially, for working in industrial plants, it can scale stairs. sensors and the legs enable 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 hoffman cover some 10

square kilometers. one of the largest chemical complexes in the world, the workforce at 39000 works on building blocks for everything from plastics and pains to solvents and if he sits. but they developed a, it's a robotics expert at the company and is eager to see how the 4 legged help her affairs on its maintenance tour. okay. very good starts literally on the ground. and in a minute i'm expecting the robot to deliver what it promises. so so if i had to go 1st please b, a s 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 and nothing else. it detects the pressure display and then interprets the information

to the once we look at the 2nd one, we'll see that it's up and running. then it's sunday. so i have done turned them in at the end of the day. 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 button, the robot has to scale these 2 sections of standard, fully autonomously for potential client b ss. this is the make or break the test the . the slips is physically it managed to hit those target locations and make its way up to standards of, of, of the type of a full size. you can come to mind

a milestone for us to itemize 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 a rarity which hampers the provision of medical care, especially in rural areas. well, infant mortality is following 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 consumable governments of the so with the medicine that on board, the drone is about to take off vertically. but i live at it 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 a drug defense and you admitted one of the car and drove and we'll both be setting off from the costume gl airfield. their destination is the village of live ac, about 48 kilometers away. the drone find its destination via gps coordinates. tom to mount 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 springs 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 plain the only paid roads and allow we are those connecting the main towns and

cities once they leave them tom per month and his team continue their journey on dirt tracks the and the how his it is through. okay, compared to what we would see now is this the worse it so yes, there is still a good road. yes. 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 potholes the, the land route is clearly losing the race. as the cars progress goes from slow to a complete halt. 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 is not even covered. half the distance and now it's stuck. this is like a really good process. that means that it wouldn't be, you know how deep the water is. what it is a minimum. oh okay, let's go. 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 scooby. 20 or 30 centimeters above the sea bed? yeah, the research project is called see clear. apply on the words in clear view and clean sea step on. so it's not sky and his international team have a boat. it's with high tech to help them clean up waters that are both murky and polluted the conan as often as we can find things and grabs them with real bucks. i've seen that kind of thing with them. and then these ones operate under water. so what about the bottom, you, mr. so why, you know,

is use them to tackle this big problem of waste. we're other methods. it cannot help uncommon, the owls for the wrong foot ones. the challenge for us is extremely complex. nature of the set of next the system is will feel is need everything to work together for the entire system to function at home. in this case i'm, this is team, if a helpful to me and kind of the problem and 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 beach is, is a growing 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, the see 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 the sea, been 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 drone. another robot can then go and pick up the debris and collect it in a waste basket. st clair 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 and croatia was a success. in hamburg, the same technical setup space is a far tougher task. the bottom of the river elbow is covered in silver settlements

in money making garbage. they are often invisible to the naked eye. even the cameras fitted onto the little dining robots struggle to see anything, the inc. roxanne, i'm going to be in croatia. we had about 20 to 25 meters visibility here. it's 25 centimeters. let's see. so we can see here how we can even recognize objects that were practically right next to. so that doesn't exactly make it any easier to find that identify things that we did different sealants within the port visibility means they must deploy an ultra sound scanner to search for objects. these 2 brightest spots are 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 mother ship

puts the waste basket in place on the bottom of the river, the observation robot starts looking for debris with a camera and sooner. okay. now a 2nd robot fitted with a ripper is launched. we would manage to find the bottle detected by the sooner that could either refer seems to be right over it because it's so close that i fox and it's grabbed it. that's how much it's like, it's costing a firm hold on the bottle. how does this lesson? so now we can get going. the system mostly sits in the basket club. i believe it's a mammoth undertaking for one plastic bottle. the project is often a thankless task. as is typical for research, we have a sediment prove to tough a challenge for the artificial intelligence. but this guy could be the basket.

so cost to light the best. we have the basket, that's good. tiny, deleted the grip or manage to find the waste basket. despite being practically blind, it's next task is to locate the entry hole for depositing the bottle. it's like it's of also is moving and we've recovered it. good. good job. nice. yeah there's and we've 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 example, that gives us reassurance. that'd be nice to see what else we can achieve and we're going to have this is i'm the future is eventually having these systems all over the world and come to clean up the sea and go some ways of freeing it from the

legacy ever since. i've lost my positive wisdom before i am come to the underwater trash collection system works regardless of visibility conditions with no need for diapers. the only human being required in the future will be the person emptying the waste basket. the torrential rain in malawi has rendered the roads impassable when comforter boss thompson, him and his team are still trying to reach the remote village of live ways the by car. but he usually tranquil a little stream has flooded its banks 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 do, you know,

got my child almost suffocated at bus and i was extremely scared. he was going to die because we didn't have a vital tube at the bonita. but luckily help arrived just in time for that had great difficulty breathing and otherwise she would definitely have stuff to contribute to the room. the wing comforter is a small miracle for the community of 150 people and the big, the listing the 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 live saver have incense tom to man himself. the father of 2 children is personally moved by the story of little philip,

the in the see you, you good. you have one. so how is kind of doing some she was on saturday. we always, you know to this, she was saying that uh since she was born can you can just ok and is just inside the briefing is increasing is good. yes. he's just reading no money. no ma'am. she just needs different kind of philip story shows exactly how effective our work is. in fact, like, you know, it's a nice ended wing culture 7 years ago. this was exactly what i was hoping for us to have. so that's a child like phillips being can survive and be sitting here in their phillips. he hasn't come yet developed. and then with that because the mother just said that she wants him to be a drone pilot, 20 years up there. and we do also train young people in your house. so when he's maybe 12 or older,

you can start learning the technology and 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. 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 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 there with ministers and see what can we do for a country like malawi, inventory, i would love to roll this 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, she accelerate and scale this impact we have already had 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 that can show you the joint. it's like a few minutes or winston. here's your template, the veterans and below is extreme pain or. and then uh yeah, we have an hood half here with you. 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, the amount of actually creating something that will change things in the long term . doesn't end up coming, playing dispute. 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 look is miss, how can i not do more of this? it never leaves my mind enough to him, and the assessments dispossess business. i'm listening to dedicated to minutes joining forces with intelligent machines as they seek to eliminate hazards and saved lives with high tech health, the

lifelong relationships that nobody teases for themselves. siblings, they help see challenge as well. do they play in our development sibling rivalry? in 15 minutes on the w eco in the sand. a crucial resource for the construction industry, but also for the environment. for years in the legal standard mafia read on the moon or river endangering del evening source of drinking water. is there a sustainable alternative for this precious resource indian in

90 minutes on the w the, this is the, the, the news live from, but then joe biden gives his strong this warning yes on guys as big as hospital finances the, all she thought complex must be protected the surgeon that tells us of his struggle to keep newborn babies alive with the hospital having no food awards on electricity . israel's armed forces release video, which they say shows that have mass health, hostages, and rooms under a children's hospital in gaza. plus an urgently needed boost for ukraine. germany's

to double.
