 I am a social robot, educational partner, which brings out spontaneous grow with children through conversation and play. So who are you? What's your name? I'm Ryota Miyazaki. And you work on this product, right? Yeah. And who are you? I'm Taubo. I'm supporting this project. And right here we see a little robot. How does it work? You can make it follow. Hey, come with me. Come over here. Let's go this way. Come, come, come with me. No, no, no. Over here. Over here. Over here. You're very, very drunk. That's great. So, do you know what this is for? Sugar? Yeah, sugar. What can you do? To become smarter. To have a conversation. It's possible to have a conversation. And this guy can... Can you come over here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come, come, come. Okay, let's go. Run. How fast they can go? Yeah, no. Like this? What is a... What is a projector inside? What is a projector? A parent's computer. A parent's computer. And a... A speaker's... And you can share these experiences with grandparents. Camera? I have a social robot. A sensor? You can see where people are, right? Yeah. And then... You can see the application. Can you see the application? I'm not... Secret. Yeah. So, how soon is this on the market? When people will buy this? 90. Next year? No. 90. 2000? 2019. Two years. Yeah. So, what is this area here? It's just an area, can you show? Yeah, of course. So, this is the future living project. And this is a so-called sustainable container, which is the washing machine of the future. This is the washing machine? Yeah, of the future. So, basically you can just throw in your dirty clothing in here. Let's pretend this is dirty clothing. This is dirty? Yeah. And then you close the drawer. And once you close the drawer, you can see that the entire system starts working. Ah, it's happening now. Yeah, so the first step is that the system analyzes the clothing and just put it one by one. So, it basically detects where the dirt is. It recognizes the fabric, the piece of clothing is made of. It also recognizes what kind of clothing it's made of. Nice. This is like magic. Yeah, kind of. Whoa. So, after this is finished, it will go down? Yeah, it will go down. And it will be transferred down here. So, the washing process starts. And due to the washing process, small amounts of detergent and water are sprayed on the clothing, which you can see below. So, this is the water with detergent. And it's directly sprayed to the areas which are dirty. And the amounts you need are adjusted based on the information just for scanning the clothing. It's scanned and know exactly how much treatment you need? Yes, exactly. And where will it go after? After this, it will dry. So, basically, this works for suction, right? So, the water is being sucked out of the system. Yeah. The clothing stays dry. And the last step is the folding step. So, the clothing is folded by a robot. So, how soon can I buy this? So, this is what it's supposed to look like. Is that real? It's only a demonstration. Demonstration? But it will be real in a few years. No, it will probably still take at least three years. Three years? Yeah. So, at last, you can just open your drawer and your folding is folded and also will be... Organized. Organized. So, basically, for example, this drawer has all louses. This drawer might have all jeans. This drawer might have all socks. But this drawer will have what I need for today. And then it takes a node with AI. I need this color. It's better for today. Yeah, you can just... And then it will take automatically. Yeah, so, you can just... Select. Select it and you can control it by an app. So, this is how it's supposed to look like. So, you work in a Panasonic robot? Yeah. Division, right? So, Panasonic will have robots. You take the clothes, put it inside. Yeah. Make the food. Make food. Make food. So... No, that's the... Mixer? No. Maybe three. Three, yes. Or hybrids. Because this is so cool. Yeah, I think. And then he's going to explain it. Yeah. English on. English on. Let's do a Japanese one. Okay, so, let's give you a start. Welcome to Panasonic, your wonderful world of the future. Yes, welcome to our better living tomorrow tour. In the upcoming future, it is said that leading edge technologies like IoT, robotics and artificial intelligence will have an impact on our lives and our businesses and our values and our lifestyles will become increasingly diversified. Of course, there are so many changes concerning society values and lifestyles and we at Panasonic, we anticipate these changes. I do it just for you, just for the camera. And so, we keep on researching and developing consumer appliances and services to meet the customers' demand. Next one will be yours. Are you doing IoT technologies? We will see how this works in the household and how convenient our lifestyle will become and by integrating robotics and artificial intelligence into our everyday lives, which will take over two years of time consuming chores. We will have much more time spending it with our families and friends. By the way, this is my fantastically Tobias. And this is my wonderful part-time wife, Boemi. We're very happy to have you here. Only for you, but only for you. Okay, so, are you ready? Can we go to the kitchen? Yes. Okay, then let's start the kitchen. Who likes to be in the kitchen? Do you like to be in the kitchen? What about you? You? No, no. Some people are like, most of the time if we ask, all men are like, what's been the living room? What's been the living room? And watch football? Yes. Okay. So, yeah, and a kitchen is going to be more fun to be in the kitchen. We already experience that every day with our artificial intelligence kitchen advisor, which is a good health in the kitchen? Yes, because it also reminds me of some special events, for example. I mean, it will tell me how to cook because I'm a bad cook. In the future, I will be a better one, hopefully. And as you can see, it will also tell me that there's a special event today. For example, Noemi's birthday and so on. So, for each purpose, you can order some special recipes, for example. Okay, so now that it's Noemi's birthday, please show me some special recipes. That's what he will do in the artificial intelligence kitchen advisor. It has a range of delicious menus. It's connected to a lot of emotions. For example, you might know the famous poor bookies instituted in France as one of the main hosts. Noemi basically cooks food in the world. He has the alternative to them and also connected to other professionals like chef cooks and nutritionists who provide us a range of menus. Now, let's see what you want to say. I think this one, we will return it. It's very nice. It's probably one of my favorite recipes. Basically, I ate it a lot of times in restaurants but I never ate it at home. So for my birthday, it will be perfect, I guess. But it isn't complicated. Yeah, and I call him cute but he's not available today. So I think I have to do it. But it will be easy in the future. Please prepare it. So that's what you have to do. The kitchen appliances, all the kitchen appliances needed for that menu will get started to cook. We'll get ready for cooking. For example, the oven just starts to heat up and also use the kitchen appliances. They can adjust the temperature, for example. Nothing will burn after everything on the side. And some people like to block or move pictures of Facebook of their food. We have here an embedded video camera over there. So you can take pictures of videos and then log in or put it on Instagram. Great stuff. Okay, so what you see over there right now is that the chef will tell me what to do step by step. So if maybe I am the best cook, I will hopefully be in the kitchen because I just get the information. And I will also get the information concerning seasoning, for example, which is obviously very complicated. Some information is how we can garnish the plate, for example. This is an appetizer, so I will get some suggestions from A to Z. Some food services are needed to cook and eat the menu, basically. Yeah. Okay, so I think it's your birthday, so leave me alone. Leave me alone. I tried to say it in a kind way. Leave me alone. Let me just see if I can do it by myself or if I have a special friend already waiting for you in the audience. Exactly. To be as already mentioned, we will get over to the dining table. Let's change the name when you show it. Let's change this one. Yep. So this design we are using will help in the children's room because this is a so-called social robot. You can communicate through each act is played through each action. It's a so-called educational partner because it helps children in supports and in groups. Children don't have a healthy diet. And no children don't like the other stuff. For example, spinach. Spinach is most of the time on the world, not in a child. So parents sometimes have a hard time to show to children what is good for them. It's an educational partner now in the future. Mom, I want to have a fun dinner. Crickadella. With carrots and potatoes. I don't want kids. Lewis, I know interesting stuff about carrots. Would you like to see one? Yes, okay. The carrot man is a veteran. He wants a honey can. Big. Carrots are sweet and you could clean them become strong like carrot man. Lewis, do you want to turn into carrot man? Well, I don't know what I'll do. So, as you can see, in the future, children might be convinced to at least try foods and hang out before you go to school guys telling funny stories and having conversations with the children. It also takes a lot of pictures and videos of the children in their natural environment. So people can compare those pictures maybe they took three weeks ago and it's also connected to an educational platform the educational institution creating a huge platform with a lot of support and advice when it comes to the health of children. And by the way, kids really love this little guy so it's good to have him in the kitchen. Let's go back to Tobias and let's see what's happening in the kitchen. Everything went perfect so far with wonderful meal but I'm looking for some special beverage. And as far as I remember white wine would be a good choice when we have some wine here this is by the way our sake cooler which has a couple of different sake and as you can see it's a little bit different here so it's complicated when it comes to sake so I have no idea I don't know do you know sake cooler? Japanese rice wine I've never seen so how can I find out if it's good for all meal or not I don't want you to be disappointed so that's why I'm asking we have our little sake cooler over here I think that's the best idea I've had so far because in our little mobile sake cooler there is a camera and it detects the label that is connected to the database and from here on the display you can see that it gives you the information that I need all the characteristics of this sake cooler I will know in just a couple of seconds if it's good for all meal or not yeah I can see also some recipes which go well with the sake cooler cheese as well that's good you both cheese lovers would like to have cheese as appetizers okay so it goes well with that one do you have cheese? yeah of course because our second name is cheese we have family cheese okay so please take a seat for the cheese because in the future well you can just take a closer look into that corner over there because over there there is a huge fridge we have a smaller one and we gave him a name hi cool cool please come to the dining table well cool is a movable fridge it moves responding to my voice commands as you can see but it's also important that it has an embedded sensor technology because it can accurately measure the distance we don't want it to bump into anything so what does it do? it messes up the whole room and it is always updated so if something happens suddenly my wife is over there let's go because I need my wife for a couple of more years yeah that's good I won't be blown over by a fridge just imagine you're having a party at home you're having friends over you don't want to get up all the time just to get to the fridge to get to my ranch or something to eat plus when you don't eat it also carries away the dishes back to the dishwasher so you have two things what this fridge can do and even my husband won't get run over by the fridge I gave it a try but as you can see it can move around safely that's really important because if you have little kids and they crawl around you won't bump into me perhaps ok so thank you very much so far as far as I can see you can already see the bubbles yeah we need to do the laundry wash clothes no I don't think anyone likes to wash clothes
