少し実演を終わりましたら、中の方をお勧めいただきますと、いろいろ体験も行いますので、そちらの方も見てみてください。蓋を開けるなんて、とても繊細なお気に入りですので。Hi, so who are you?Hi, I'm Rich Walker. I'm the Managing Director of the Shadow Robot Company.We're one of the three companies that have come together to build this tactile teddy robot.So, this is your robot.So, I'm from Shadow and we build the hands that are part of this robot.And then, right there is from HapTex and they are making the gloves that are measuring his hand movements.So, we measure the movements of his hand and copy them across to the robot hand.How good are your hands?So, what you need to do is, as close as we can get to a human hand at the moment.Let's jump over there.So, as close as you can get.So, the Shadow Hand is as close as we can get to building a human-like hand.We have the same movements in each joint.We have the same size and range of movements.We have sensing to give us a sense of touch from Sintouch.And we have joint and position sensors and force sensors so we know where we are and how hard we're working.And what's on the tips of the fingers?Some gripping kind of material?The tips of the fingers here are a sensor from a company called Sintouch.This is the biotack.Biotack actually gives the robot a sense of touch.It's like your sense of touch.It can feel vibration.It can feel pressure.It can sense temperature.You also do the one he's wearing where there's all this sensor in his hand.So, the sensor on his hand is the glove from Haptex.So, an American company and they make an amazing glove that measures your handand it provides you with the feedback for what's happening to the robot.So, you can feel what the robot's doing.Nice.Haptex.Is this going to be useful for, let's say, when you send in the robot in a nuclear plantwhere there's some kind of issue on the moon?The first place we're looking at for this is putting it into dangerous,difficult,dirty places. Places where you currently have to send a person but you don't want to.And instead you could use this kind of technology on a robot, a mobile platform,a fixed platform to do a task that currently a human does at risk.Nice.What's the latency?Very low.When we did an experiment where we had the robot in Londonand the gloves in San Francisco,we had about 160 milliseconds round trip.And that's okay to do what you want?That's fine for touch.Because the touch is so fast,you can feel the thing before you can see it.So, this is a great attention grabbing area here.It's been great being here.We've seen lots and lots of people.We've really got what we're doing.They've really understood.Can you explain some more?How fast does it move around?So, this system is designed to move about speed with you.But not a human really in our world.It's just a kind of...It's a sense.It could be a robot that would move really fast.But that would be dangerous.Give me five.Hey,that was cool.Shake hands.Shake hands?Oh, thanks.My hand is still fine after the shaking.My hand is still okay?Cool.You don't do the tongue shake?No.Yeah.When I touch these...You feel that?Here.Nice.Nice.There's a lot of potential here for, let's say, long distance interactions.Long distance interactions, space, nuclear.We were seeing people interested in using it in laboratories.Where they're dealing with hazardous materials.But also, in time, you see this technology being used in social robotics.You'll go somewhere by robot.You'll be able to connect to the robot.You'll be able to be in a distant place to engage with people with that.How long does it take to become a master on this thing?Really quick to learn to use it.Basically, you put the gloves on.It's already doing what you expect it to do.Because it's measuring your movements and making the robot do.You have to get used to the kind of the speed and the flow.But we've been having people pick up in five, ten minutes.And just walk in and be able to do tasks with that.Do you have any of these set up and deployed?This is the first time we've brought together a system like this.This is basically the public release of this system.It's never been shown in another country yet.We took an earlier version to the Amazon Remars Conference earlier this year.You might have seen some pictures of Jeff Bezos with a pair of robot hands.That was the previous version of this.But this whole system working today, this is the first.Nice.Can we walk just for a couple of minutes over here?What booth are we at right now?This is the Anna Avatar In booth.Anna the airline are branching out.They've seen that their job as an airline is to get people from one place to another.But why do you have to travel?If you can use an avatar, you can be somewhere else straight away.The most important thing is to shake hands with the business partner.You could interact remotely now.But to meet your family, to be with your friends, even to go fishing.Let's walk around here.So what are you doing right now?So this avatar robot, somebody is here.This is a person.They're sitting in the back.This is a person somewhere else.They're down the back over there.She's bringing them around and showing them around the booth.So you could just have the rest of the body and your hands connected to this.Or even just this.If you just want to go somewhere and enjoy it,you can see what the person is seeing as they go around and interact with people around.They move around a little bit.So we have the classic telepresence robot.Which is classic but very effective.Hi.How are you?Are you in the next room over there?Or are you far away?Right there.Cool.So this is cool.What's happening in this corner?So these guys are controlling the body worn avatars that we saw a moment ago.So you can see the headsets on them.These are the people who are seeing through the eyes of those robots.Nice.I think the best way to do VR is to transport yourself to another place in real time.So let's go and start on this corner here.The people are queuing up for a demo.This is still the single craziest idea.To me the craziest of all the ideas.This is fishing remotely.Let's go close to this.This is a telephishing robot.Where else can you go fishing?Oita prefecture is now a heavy lane.I'm sorry.I can't share this.It's just a lot of lanes.So where is the lake?Where is the fishing lake?Where is the fishing lake?Where?Oita prefecture.So the fishing lake there, they have a robot system with a fishing rod.And you control the fishing rod and you catch a fish.Yesterday I saw a man catch a fish on the other side of Japan.How much it costs to catch one fish?How much?I don't know.He doesn't do the commercial side.That's cool.Some people say it's important to get off meat.So maybe if you get them to actually kill the meat,I'm joking.But it's an example of being able to take time out of your lifeand do something that normally would take a long long time to do.You'd have to travel.You'd have to be in the right place.And now you can just go, we'll just use the fishing line.The CEO of the office can go fishing a corner for five minutes.And so can the secretary.Nice.It's right here.I'm sorry.What we will deliver by aircraft.This is another cool looking robot.So it's a forest walking robot.Now that obviously I can go and walk in the forest.But what if I can't?What if I'm stuck at home?What if I can't leave the house?I can't leave the kids?I'm physically unable to leave.This just means it's possible for anybody to goand wander around in a nice placeand enjoy the distant location.Could you add your hands here?Maybe you could add your hands.If you ever walk, you may not need it.But from the future systems, yes.You'd add robot hands like ours.You'd make it possible to interact with thingswhen you're out and about.Nice.It's kind of like the highlight of the SEATEC.Because this is like the robot conference.And you're showing the most cutting edge robots.This is the most amazing cutting edgerobotic technology.And I love the fact that it's being shown by an airlinewho have seen the potential to create a new market,to create a new space.So when you say Jeff Bezos used your gloves.Or maybe.So sometimes, I mean for example,I saw two, three, four years ago,or five years ago,Google invested in Boston Dynamicsand all kinds of stuff.But they didn't really go through with it.They kind of like gave up.Isn't it like the time for some of the big guysto just go serious into these thingsand just make it happen?But this is what soft bank robotics have done.So Boston Dynamics, so you alluded to that,are now part of soft bank.And what they've done is they've taken those robotsthat we all saw the crazy parkour videos of.And they've turned them into an actual systemthat you can deploy.You can buy.You can have a four-legged robot running aroundat your factory and your office.So mass production.Into mass production.So this is the point where these robotsare really leaving the lab and going out into the world.2020, we'll see more robots.2020, the first that we follow.How about your hands?Can we see them on the market?Mass market?We hope so.Where are you based?We're based in London, England.Our colleagues in theCalifornia.We also work with people in Madrid,in Spain.But we work globally.We're used to working all over the place.And soft bank's paper robot was a French team.So there's a bunch of robotics happening in Europe.Europe has the biggest civilian investment,government investment into robotics.The European Commission is putting 100 million euros a yearinto developing a really wide range of robotics technologies.Did you say 100 million euros a year?To develop robotics in the EU.Yes.Huge global investment.Huge investment.Lots and lots of things coming out of that.100 million is pretty good.100 million is pretty good.But they could get into the billions, no?Maybe there's a new commission.Maybe they should do that.Well, the next programme in Europe,Horizon Europe.So Horizon 2020 is the current European R&D programme.The next one will be called Horizon Europe.And they're talking about making huge investments into AIand robotics.And because they see that as the underpinningof the next economy.And it would be nice if we can free upbecause it's a lot about the robots taking overour jobs but they should also take overour chores.Like when we have to clean or wash dishesand all this stuff.Robots are very good at doing difficult,dirty and dangerous and dull tasks.That's the point.You want to automate the things that we don't need to do so we can get on with livingand doing the things that we want to do.But you're doing like humanizing the robot a little bit.You're giving it real human hands.We're making the robot have the same abilitiesas a human.The hand is,our world is shaped by our hands.Our world is built around our hands.So we're building robot technology that has the samecapabilities as a human because we thinkthat's what's necessary to unlock thepotential robotics.So I'd like to see some very cheap telepresencerobots like the ones we saw.But we're kind of like USB on the sideor something to add arms and hands.Plug an arm in,plug a hand in,plug some legs in.Exactly.This is the kind of market that will evolve.But the hands are probably the most expensive part,right?Today.Because there's so much complications going on in there.It is a hugely complex thing to copy and replicate.Now there are people who make simpler hands.There are people who develop things that are good enough.What we're trying to do is to make surethat it's not just good enough,we can do everything that's possible.Five fingers is the best invention.Five fingers is what we have.So our world is designed around that.Everything works best with five fingers.It might work better with six,but today we all have five.Great.
