For a time you want to still very much a lot. Of discussion in germany. Recognize where exactly. Was fun to learn a lot of our culture history and. Travel extremely worth a visit. To ban is a pioneer in Robotic Research there i got to know one of the worlds top roboticists and his mind blowing creations i want to offer today ship. Professor hiroshi guru is a real rock star in the robotic see his specializes in human robot into action and androids robots that look like humans im adam is in kyoto. Hi everybody my name is here as usual i think preachers you know its pushing that button that we need to have more all. Right. We need more robots why exactly in japan people are more comfortable with robots than elsewhere that may have to do with the influence of shintoism which states that all things have a spirit even robots could have a soul that might be why theyre more willing to use robots to solve social problems japan has a Super Aging Society the average age is 48. 4 years the result is a lack of manpower for everything from factory workers to caregivers for the elderly so since 2015 the japanese government has turned to robots for help its new robot Strategy Program actively supports such technologies but no one has gone as far as heroes your role hes even created his own robotics when called germinal. Gemini doesnt act autonomy asleep instead its remote controlled in real time by an operator. And what is it like to sit in that room all day. So how noisy im very im very stressed and how does he keep his twin looking like you belong to him. Theyre doing theyre all bad and this is you know and then i also and updating them my pace or so the question though which is the cheaper earth you know right rusty surgeries or you know the new president of the us or in you know usually in on the right price of 30. 00 that much of. This tell him no it is also remote controlled its software transmits facial expressions and speech simultaneously but my question about a boss puts the technician behind tell him not on the spot to have one question what kind of man is that your invent it. About your inventive on what kind of guy is next to me right now. So this was hard for us to talk about and how did. He say to me well you have made me. I dont want ok. So thats very. Hard you ok i will try to argue. With you i feel hard. Feel. And they say youre creepy but holding you in my hands i have to say it feels natural its because i mean im really you im not you have a very surprised by by. Talking to you 2 its only because very simple. Ok i admit the das look a bit creepy but what made me uncomfortable was holding on to such an expensive device. What really surprised me was how its neutral appearance affected the impression it made the tell annoyed off as a blank surface to protect your own imagination onto and since the technician had a pleasant voice the 10 annoyed made an altogether good impression he rushes uros creation sometimes resembled works of art they pose an existential questions like what does it mean to be human thats something as you grow also explores in his work. I am interested in the human side you know my motivations tender son what you might be there for you know i i so theres so many things im studying about the humans by using an op was. Born in she got 963 hiroshi she grew out of the oil painting in his youth he dreamed of being an artist but wound up studying Computer Science instead he became an engineer and developed the keen interest in ai and robotics. When i have created the 1st of all i was thinking about you know what these i draw whats going on with. The rushes she drew has been working on creating robots that resemble humans for decades. Shes also developed female and child androids this one was fashioned out of his daughter who was 4 at the time. Gemini it his robotics when he was a prototype for a new generation of humanoid robots the remote controlled android has already stored in for as you were doing speeches and University Lectures if you grow hopes his robot clone will help him find out more about watch human presence really means and he wants to get to know himself better to. Do. The most important things were before me was in the way i have created in my copy then i dont understand myself i cannot have the objective views about them i say i dont know that my pace and my behaviors and my voice right through think i can understand myself so that kind of you know the finding was that very important for me robotics when to help you understand yourself better mazing but to many if you girls androids are just plain creepy theres even a technical term for the eerie feeling humanoid robots provoke uncanny valley its clearly visible in this graphic the uncanny valley theory states that when a robot looks to human people repulsed but to ensure a positive interaction we. You must feel comfortable with humanoid robots professor as you grow believes the uncanny valley will soon be a thing of the past thanks to this android. Made erica shes capable of understanding language in this case japanese she can talk and can assume a number of human like facial expressions erica can usually be found sitting in the lobby of the Research Institute near kioto for visitors shes an attraction for the stuff shes completely normal. On the road is not on kenya anymore right so the reaction of people who are used to getting a very natural using of this is the android and it is his you know quite. A scene that i but a my canvas always in my student is moving in the on the writing on campus and then robotics and moving around the campus but no one knows what they Pay Attention to that all about. But making robots that can communicate like people that understand the topics and context necessary to make a conversation seem natural is still a big challenge for ai in many ways eric guys at the forefront of Robotic Research. Want a conversation partner concious is that shes connected to a Computer System thats constantly scanning him. Going if they have no one in this window you can see where all the people are one person is here. Erica is here so erica can recognize we detect that theres a person on her right side then through this camera here she picks up the direction of the persons face their facial expression and associate who this person is. Kind of the last time with your and then youre going to go out and kill. Him on the. Sort of. The software also analyzes a conversation partners voice so erica can engage in dialogue with him. You know. In order to design a broad bot that talks to ordinary people properly human input is necessary. But the android independently determine is the topic selection and strategy. Eric is and thomas the operating robot but part of the process is predetermined by humans. Erica really impressed me for decades japan has been a leader in the development of production of robots over half of the worlds robots made here many for industrial use but robots also play a big role in japanese pop culture in tokyo this full size ganda robot turns many hats machines have even made their way into the music world how does a symphony sound when is conducted by a robot. He rushes you girls and also 3 has been touring the world as an orchestra conductor since 2018 the music was written by japanese composer. Equipped with state of the art Artificial Intelligence 3 has Something Like its own new role network that makes the robot moves bunting easily as it interprets the score. The premise is that the android itself is moving according to its own will. You know however as a separate program the structural elements of this core created by mr shibuya are interjected into the independent and autonomy as actions. The complexities. The music is preprogramed but also 3 interprets it differently each time those that make it Creative Things to ai is conducting skills a matter of chance and he is another question can robots convey spirituality in germany we had a blessing robot cause bless you to well. Meanwhile he rushes euro has created his version of a buddhist priest and in terms of technology alone is of an entirely different caliber. An android that ponders what it means to be human desire anger selfishness around the mind has been explaining the basics of the buddhist faith. As part of a multimedia performance. Such a height that what i got lucky. Not took the york not looked at the big the some people find it odd when they arrive. By 25 minutes later after experiencing the ceremony theyre quite accepting of mind. He rushes she grew developed minor incorporation with the team from Osaka University they spent some 900000 euros creating it. Had face and hands made from silicone and modeled after human and that to me the rest was deliberately left to look like a machine. Or even already. In a buddhism it was just a message from the god then you know that someone made these they choose so now we have a robot they can you know why we dont use the bible to think you know i did before making the buddha template a kind of botch of i think. Its chiodos could dodgy temple they hold that in mind i will stock fresh interest in buddhism. And the future mind could be more than just a high tech attraction theyre thinking of feeding the robot with buddhist teachings and knowledge and equipping it with ai software then mind they could answer questions on his own like an interactive buddhist we could pedia robots can be priests artists and even can give us in japan the prospect of machines taking over important jobs in society is not a frightening one well its your view should robots play a bigger role in our lives or does the idea scare you tell us on facebook or do w dot com and to learn more about japanese Robot Developers 2nd our you tube channel thats it for me for now see you next time.
