>> we are back with more from darpa demo day. i am here with the program manager from darpa that supports a program that essentially services satellite in space? >> the first robotic repair man to go out in orbit. >> we're going to change all that. >> talk to me a little bit about the program. >> we've been working on the technologies to make it possible for several years. we are starting a flight program to send this robotic servicing satisfy -- satellite to a geosynchronous orbit where the tv satellites and military services. >> in terms of getting this to space and testing it out, how are you progressing in terms of making that happen? soon, we will be releasing a solicitation for a commercial partner. commerciala satellite, unusual for a military organization. there are five times as many commercial satellites so we get five times the chances to test it. satellitebring the and we put the robotics on and get it to orbit. >> there is the commercialization that benefits the commercial side and/or reflect back. >> ecb technology.

well, darpa has had a 60-year history.hink it is really important for many other parts of the department, more of the operational parts of the department in particular, to start tapping where commercial technology can make a big difference. >> these are special cases of a general phenomenon that's happening. it used to be pretty much all the day in the world was inside universities because we created it. now most of the day in the world is out there. it's in companies. it's in governments. the only way we can do our job, the only way you can do your job, the only way companies can do their job is to talk to each other, is to have way more connections than they had before. to have a treaty where companies can share their data without feeling privacy is violated is a really important topic for the politicians or for someone here to solve. >> well, i'm really sorry about this, but we are out of time. i would like you to join me in thanks our guests for coming. >> thank you.

it's darpa. darpa has competition that allows stanford to participate and then google bought the whole team. so you your this collaboration often by buying and stealing and then collaborating, but places like darpa and ink you tell are important. this axis of absolutely critical importance. >> i want to come back to that. if you listen to antoine and fred in the words they use, connection, connectors, connectedness, brain sharing , and many respects the institutionsinstitutions you work at now are almost an antithesis of this. a group of isolated companies have 7,000 acres of forest. and you pnc and carnegie mellon, and old academic tradition. the discipline. so is this shift to open innovation and collaboration happening in your institutions? how is it manifesting itself? >> yes. i think it is interesting because the connected network really happened back in the industrial time when steel was large. so there was 15 or 20 guys they gotten around and decided with the critical things to the communi

a great time to talk about darpa. because there is a w

he entered a trial funded by darpa and had surgery to have sensors installed in her brain that couldol the prosthetic arm. feeding herself for the first time after the surgery. something as simple as that can make all the difference in the world. >> the ability to take care of yourself is so crucial. combing your hair. brushing your teeth. getting dressed. all of those are what you need as a human being to have your dignity. to have dignity. >> so these technologies that go directly into the brain, obviously they are in the very early stages right now. we're seeing that patient who is trying this out in the lab in the operating room really -- not the operating room but in the room where they are doing there. but in the future they envision miniaturizing devices and enabling them to be attached to wheelchairs for example and so folks can be mobile and control the wheelchairs with their brain. >> i'm glad it is not just science fiction. >> i wonder especially for the people like our heros like we saw on cam rasm what is the path once darpa has created something to get it commercialized

i think this is a question that has to be integral to all the work we do like at darpa.have tried to address that question by first and foremost just getting those ethical issues on the table. it's been an interesting thing that i've observed. in the defense department, i have the privilege of working with a lot of senior military people in leadership positions. it is so woven into the training of what it means to be a war fighter, the ethics of that business, a very serious business, is something that is taught and learned and trained and discussed very, very openly and very, very seriously. it is sort of surprising as an engineer by training. i don't think we really talk about that in science and engineering. very little today and not to the degree we need to. we scientists and engineers certainly don't own the answer, but i think we own the responsibility of getting these issues out on the table. the one you touched on is the first obvious one that happens when it is human being's data and that is about privacy. one of the things we're trying to do at darpa is come up

i saw that car, the original darpa winner ors, it was a chevy blazer that was so packed with technology, you couldn't fit a human being into it. seven years later i get into a car, it's a cadillac, and it looks like a regular car, but it was an autonomous vehicle. all that technology is just amazing. and once again, it is going to save lives, it's going to improve efficiency, it's going to do things for seniors, for instance, that it'll help them improve and be able to stay on the road, be able to be more mobile. >> host: besides encouraging states to build smarter roads, i mean, first of all, how are you encouraging the states to do that, and what else can the house transportation committee do in your view to support this kind of technology? >> guest: well, i think, obviously, supporting it, speaking out publicly, but putting in the legislation, encouraging those states to start to take a look at how do you build a road -- dealing with the companies that are here today, what do you need for your technology to be working and better on the roadways? like simple things like -- and i don't

>>> it is pretty cool stuff that darpa is working on. it is created as part of the u.s.'nd what the director called a t terrible surprise for the united states. and that is what she said. >> we were created in the defense department to prevent that type of technological surprises, and so we decided to create our own. so that is what we have been doing. >> they are a small agency, but they are responsible for huge technology such as the internext and gps, and stealth technology, and of course, they are known for working for the defense purposes. you will see here, this is an exo tlt suit working on the lighten the load for the soldiers out in the field. they have to carry 1110 pound, and this is a computer to read somebody's gait to help them support the walking, and the load they are carrying. this guy carrying it is not a soldier, but one tof the researchers. and this is prosthetic memory that darpa is trying to implement as they would implant this e electrode in the hippo campus, and have a onboard computerer to help wp the signals of the injuries and try to fix them. >

it's darpa. why do we have a self-driving car, because darpa did a competition that allowed stanford to participate and then google bought the whole team. here you see the collaborations, often by buying and stealing and then collaborating, but places like darpa and intel are -- the act was absolutely critical importance. >> i want to come back to that. want to bring rebecca and bob into the conversation. if you listen to antoine and fred and the words they're using, the connections, the connectors, connectedness, brain-sharing, in many respects the institutions you work at now are almost the antithesis of this. it's like a group of isolated companies out of 7,000 acres of pine forest. >> pine trees and possum. >> and university of pittsburgh, and upnc and carnegie mellen, an old academic tradition that antoine described as breaking down, and the discipline is within the discipline. is this shift happening? in your institutions and how is it manifesting itself? start with rebecca. >> so, yes. a s

this is a question that must be integral to the work we do at a place like darpa.nd we have tried to address that question by 1st and foremost getting those ethical issues on the table. it has been an interesting thing that i observed. in the defense department i have the privilege of working with senior people in military leadership positions. it is so while wind of the training of what it means to be a war fighter, the ethics of the business is something that is taught and learned and trained and discussed openly and seriously and is surprising is an engineer by training, ii do not think that we talked about it in science and engineering. very little today and not to the degree needed because in fact i think that we scientists and engineers certainly do not only answer but we do on the responsibility of getting issues on the table. the one that you touched on is the 1st obvious one when it is human beings data about privacy. one of the things we're trying to do is come up with some of the technology tools that might allow us to essentially give people and organiz

tune in next week to see some of darpa's [music] >> dr. charles stanley: is there anyone in life that you could say, "my heart is just chained to her.

she entered a trial funded by darpa and underwent surgery to have censors installed in her brain that could control the arm. after some training she showed she could control the arm by just thinking about moving it, feeding herself for the first time in a decade. something as simple as that can make all the dwififference in t world. >> the ability to take care of yourself is crucial, comping your hair and brushing your teeth and getting dressed, all of those who you need as a human being to have your dignity, to have dignity. >> reporter: for "nightly business report." >>> you can ready more about the evolution of prosthetics on our websit >>> tomorrow we will look at how a high tech implant in the brain gave one woman a new outlook on life. i thought that last gentleman said it right, it gives you back your dignity. >> and thinking about what you want to do and being able to do it after years of not being able to do it. >>> before we go here's another look at today's big gains. the dow jones industrial average clifshed 145 points, the nasdaq added 33 and the s&p 500 was up 14. thanks

it's darpa, why do we have a self-driving car, because darba did a competition that allowed stanford to participate. the often collaboration is by buying and stealing and then collaborating. [laughter] but places like darpa and intel are important and this is act absolutely critical importance. >> i want to come back to that. i want to bring rebecca and bob into this conversation because if you listened to anto, ine and fred and the words they're using , connectors, recollecting, brain sharing, in many respects the institutions you work on now are almost this. we are trying to carve out. [laughter] >> the university of pittsburgh and upmc, there's an old academic tradition that antoine described but discipline staying within the discipline. in this shift to open innovation and collaborative, is it happening in your institution. >> so, yes, i'm short answer, i think it's interesting that we have been talking about, it really happened back in the industrial time when it was top down that they talked about, so there was 15 guys or 25 guys who got in a room and decided what the critical

others are working to change that, with funding from the defense advance research project agency or darpa. scientists are working to build new ways to treat psychiatric disorders, like ptsd. through deeper understandings of the electrical signals in our brains. >> what it really boils down to is precision and reaction with the neurons of the brain that are involved in neuropsychiatric illness. >> already patients are using early models. deep brain stimulation is fda approved for the treatment of parkinson's disease symptoms. as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder. murphy had a deep brain stimulation device implanted ten years ago to treat her severe depression. she calls it a life saver. >> this episode started in august of 2 004 and nothing could budge, budge it. i have a resume of seven pages with all the drugs i tried. and 30 rounds and nothing made a dent, just worse and worse and worse. >> out of options, murphy agreed to try deep brain stimulation. not fda approved for depression. it is a serious procedure, requiring brain surgery to put in place. >> brain surgery sounds so dramat

maybe for darpa, or nsa, or the air force. who know?ho visited this planet? >> james: yes, i do. >> anthony: what do you think? >> norio: well, personally, i have a different opinion. this whole alien concept is a cover story in order to conceal certain kind of projects. but i could be wrong. but i try to be a realist, but i'm open to anything. >> anthony: what is for certain and has been authentically documented on film is that somewhere out there among the silos, underground cities, supposed nuclear waste dumps and alien burial grounds, there is a large animal and a hole in the ground. what strange beast even now is being loaded into a grave-size pit in the desert for me? ♪ you know when i first started out, it was all pencil and paper. the surface pro is very intuitive. i can draw lightly, just like i would with a real pencil. i've been a forensic artist for over 30 years. i do the composite sketches which are the bad guy sketches. you need good resolution, powerful processor because the computer has to start thinking as fast as my b

my interesting contest -- wonderfully interesting contest here in the los angeles care called the darpa rescue challenge, and they gave some of the best robottists in the world to design machines to do eight simple tasks, to walk, to drive, the open doors, to use power tools. and three of them were able to actually perform the tasks that they set out for them. they took about 45 minutes to an hour instead of the five minutes that humans would, and most of them couldn't even do simple tasks like opening the door which led the son of the guy who ran the contest, a man by the name of gil pratt, to say if you're worried about the terminator, just keep your door closed. [laughter] and i think that's kind of, that was ground truth. you know, we're going to have robots in space, in cyberspace and underwater, but the ground, the ground is really hard. and that's the last place that robots will move around freely. and, of course, that brings us to self-driving cars. and, you know, i think we all now sort of as a society because of google and other things that have happened think that self-drivin

government-funded darpa which judge greene broke up the phone company, my bell. >> people forget how big of a deal that was congress passed the telecom act and for the most part that first wave of the internet the government says were not quite sure how it's going to work so let's take a hands-off approach to regulation. so we saw that develop and if you look at some of the great innovation that we all take for granted and things like gps, weather data, those are funded by the government. so there is a role for government. >> so.com gets most of their information from their government. >> i've been in conversations with people and they say we do not need the government involved in this business we have weather.com, again, some people view this book. [inaudible] that were going to lose our way, were not guaranteed but understand that critics, cynics and people were frustrated, i understand that view, i view, i also think there is the other view which is as a think about important aspects of our life about making sure the food our kids eat at school is not going to make them sick or th

the government funded darpa which is the research around the internet.judge greene broke up the phone company that unleashed enormous telecommunication. >> people forget how big of a deal that was. >> they for the most part in the first wave of the internet the government said i'm not quite sure how this cannot work so let's take a hands-off approach, so i saw that develop and if you look at some of the great innovation that you take for granted in your life not just things like internet but gps, weather data, those, those are funded by the government. there is a role for government. >> at some of amazing that weather.com gets gets all the information from the government. >> and if your marketing genius you have to tip your head to them. >> i've been in conversations with people as a we don't need the government. we don't need that we have weather.com. but hundreds would suffer. >> some people view this book that i'm defending the government, i get frustrated by the government to. i lay out some things in the book that we need to take seriously, otherwis

the defense projects or darpa, which has produced inventions. energy is a national security issue. it's an economic imperative and environmental necessity and investing in this research is in the direction we should be going. we want to lead it and don't want to see this go to china. if we are serious about staying in the forefront of the energy revolution we must issue investigate in the cutting edge work by providing this additional funding with the offset and send a clear signal of seriousness of our intent to maintain a world leader. i have a couple of my colleagues who want to speak. ion if they are present. if not, i will reserve. the chair: gentleman reserves his time. who seeks recognition? the gentlewoman from ohio. the gentleman from california. smiff schiff with that, i would urge support for this bipartisan measure and yield back. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from california. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it and the amendment s agreed to. the clerk will read. the clerk: page

we talked with darpa about this. they and others like gsk are working on this.n to what doctor doug weber told us about the concept. it all comes down to communication of information throughout your nervous system and between the different cells of the body. and there is the chemist's approach in the form of drugs and there is the electrical engineers in the form of electrics. >> agencies are working on this. companies are also working on this. they call it electrocueticals or bo electric igices. take look. >> scientists envision the system can be modulated be tiny devices to repair disease. madison has already tapped into this concept with the devices like the pacemaker where electrodes manage the heart's rhythm and can trigger a response to restore cardiac rhythm. researchers hope this approach could address diseases from asthma to hypertension to diabetes. >> so the idea is you would be using these tony electrodes on individual nerves or nerve bundles and really figuring all the precise ways electrical signals is working in disease. >> how would that work for

i think one of the most important things they did, they hired away regina dugan, she used to run darpat facebook. think about that. where is she? she's working at facebook. to me, that says they're innovating a ton. stuart: she's selling dramamine. christina, thank you so much. >> thank you. stuart: remember martin shkreli? he's appearing in court in the next hour. now, this guy's known for his i theatrics, so we're going to follow what he does. >>> plus, contestants on "the biggest loser," you remember that? gaining the weight back. yeah. their stories and the reasons for the re-weight gain next hour with doc segal. yes, "varney & company," hour two, is two minutes away. stuart: new this hour, hillary flip-flops on coal after a coal worker confronts her. some say she's now all for it. we'll figure that one out. [laughter] we'll play you that exchange. we'll play it for you. >>> moments ago martin shkreli -- he's the ceo who smirked his way through a contentious congressional hearing, he pleaded the fifth -- he walked into a new york court. he's charged with fraud over his hedge fund.

and darpa is who will be america's next top model? that's right, taxpayer money was spent to try to find out who would be america's next top model. researchers used taxpayer money to scour twitter and instagram to develop scientific models that could forecast success for models in the fashion industry. it turns out that having a strong social media presence helps more than meeting the industry's -- quote -- "as thetic standards." this is a ten nominee none that researchers dubbed "the kendall jenner effect," not surprising there. another thing that was studied are, are chimpanzees better gamers than humans? at least one chimpanzee, who was sometimes bribed with candy to keep working, was unfortunately -- was better than humans at gaming. unfortunately, that chimpanzee has since died from complications from diabetes. now, that study, which found that humans are not above trying to cheat in order to beat a chimp at a video game, was funded a as part of a $340,000 grant awarded by n.s.f. and n.i.h. i'm not going around here trying to say
