robots can’t live with them can’t live without them hi I’m Hannah from England let’s talk about that good mythical morning this episode is brought to you by rattling comm slash music yes you can download our music including our latest rub some bacon on it go to iTunes buy it and leave a review thanks robots are cool hey this fancy the whole episode as a robot no you’re in plus you just snapped out of it so you can’t go back yes we built a robot for the roast bacon on a video we went with the traditional approach you know like the I would call it like the 1950s science fiction robot you know like trash can body duct work for arms you know it’s very much like something you’d see only Buck Rogers or something like that well I I wouldn’t give our robot that much credit I mean I’m happy with our robot but it was you know it’s it was cheaper than that well it drew quite a crowd out there on the beach when we were filming with it it was like French tourists like coming up and snapping pictures of it we should have charged for the initiative but it led us to start questioning robots in general where where what’s the status of robots what’s the state of robot myths in the world robotics why don’t why don’t why don’t we have accent why can we go to Walmart or Target or Walgreens or wherever mom-and-pop shop if you will and get a robot well I think well you can technically but they’re just not very cool well they’re shaped like a disc and they just vacuum your floor let’s go to Roomba I hate those things well the Roomba you have to get to the room but before you get to the like the robot Butler I love those things there’s stepping stone but I literally yeah I dig up on him any science fiction writer that you would you would go back in time and talk to like if you can went back and talk to Isaac Asimov well the interesting thing is if you were able to travel in time it’d be a good idea to go to a sign sci-fi writer because he’d be more apt to believe you that’s true well that’s what I would do I would go to him from the future and I would go back to him like finally 50 60 years ago and I would be like where do you think we’ll be in terms of robots in 2012 can you be like well obviously you know everybody will have a robot Butler in their house and a robot dog and all these things and the fact is is that this just isn’t we don’t have that yet robot technology is moving at a frustratingly slow pace as far as I’m personally concerned for you are you frustrated I’m frustrated about it I want a robot Butler we’re gonna watch a couple of YouTube videos because that’s kind of what we do on a regular basis yeah showing you what they’ve come up with the latest in robots now so we’re gonna show them what they’re gonna they’re gonna see us watching videos over no we’re gonna show them the videos and then we’re gonna talk about it now probably the most advanced like robot assistant in the world at this point is the Japanese made actually Honda makes this one the SM oh I don’t know exactly how you pronounce that but it’s a s IMO I’m sure it stands for something it’s an acronym for something well let’s emphasize the email part Izumo ASIMO ASIMO massimo ASIMO and this thing’s been around for several years but they just released a new version that can do some more stuff late last year 2011 and we’re just gonna watch the video so this thing now can run approximately nine kilometers per hour that was like he’s sneaking up on somebody it looks like he’s having an emergency and needs to get to the restroom now here’s a Simo it’s a different angle preparing and serving refreshments no he’s very sneaky he’s it’s like he’s always sneaking a little bit know how I have no sense of scale is this thing like two feet tall no no he’s like like five feet tall that’s a really tall cart all right maybe he’s four and a half feet tall little special cart he doesn’t seem committed to anything it’s like I should I be bringing this cart in here Honda said is this the right room he’s already antsy I’ll just leave it here I’m gonna back away slowly come get your own drink he’s indecisive he’s like is there a bomb on let me harm to the left go to the okay you’re okay I’m gonna touch the cup okay I’m going to touch the go to do this I can do this deep breath deep breath I’ll do this ASIMO he seems okay now that green thing white thing he seems confused I think green thing okay green thing first grab slowly up honey fingers is this guy yes oh oh now this is advanced whoa no okay now he’s gay he’s gaining my respect now look at that no no he’s obviously a little slow I would be frustrated if my robot Butler was this low I’ll be dude give me the thing let me open it you know but you know I guess we got to start somewhere so you’re frustrated you don’t have one then you’re frustrated if you had one look ginger is so ginger gentle gentle he’s not gonna hurt anything well the programmers don’t want you don’t want you to think that it can just snap your neck I want him to be just more committed to things with his chicken noodle soup in the thermos uh orange juice oh not very much so just enough you know it’s like okay what do I do with this he squatted he squatted nervous he’s so ginger it looks like I was astronaut too you know can you get there gonna be video on his face like no wait what am I gonna do with this oh here’s a lady now she’s that robot too she’s a giant robots are not perfect this is why we don’t have one of these in all of our homes because every once in a while they mess up here he is ASIMO she’s gonna go up some stairs he’s thinking about it he’s very cautious yeah yeah you would think we do this he can do this I can go up these stairs I know I can do this he’s running his confidence program I think I can but he looked at the crowd yes okay he’s looking at the crowd it’s very taunting well now check this out watch my house no I meant to do that now check out what I meant to do that lights go down look everybody’s panicking no one approaches him nobody wants to help him look they bring a barrier a barricade ways he’s gonna change clothes now that other guy who just ran out with a barrier he’s also robot and I don’t think so because then he would be more impressed Honda Honda sit ah nothing to see here go to the next exhibit now ASIMO is pretty impressive in his own right but he’s obviously not very humanoid he doesn’t look a whole lot like the human but an astronaut or cosmonaut or who knows what’s happening under that mask but there are definite leads in Japanese robots that look very much like humans like this one the act roid eff is it the one on the right or the left it’s the woman on the line I look at this this thing is made to mimic what it’s person it’s looking at is doing to look she only I think it’s all in the face which is that you know so that’s the most important thing that robots need to learn it’s just how to act like they know what’s going on you know whenever I’m conversing with somebody who knows more than me I just oh you’re surprised I’m surprised it she’s freaky I mean it it’s it’s all it’s so human-like but not quite human and that’s what makes it very freaky so the guy is puppeting her via video basically well no she she actually is watching him she’s got video cameras in her eyes oh so she operates on the on the principle that every human likes someone who liked who acts like them well I go and look in the mirror for hours a day to to experience the same feeling in the robot in the mirror does exactly what I’m doing if a robot just kind of doing what you’re doing is not impressive enough for you there’s actually a robot the H R P – 4 C which can same [Music] why is she wearing a laser tag off she’s gonna play laser tag right after this she needs some chapstick look at the corner of overcome remember lip is like kind of dry had beneath some animal crackers she’s got that sometimes I get that crusty lips thing you wouldn’t think a robot would have that yeah she definitely needs some lip balm so if you have to have one of these this is pretty much the latest in robots man I mean you could have a Simo which he’ll fall down your stairs but it can pour orange juice very slowly I don’t have stairs so they oh he’s good for ranch houses you can have the one that just mimics you like when you make a face like I’ll to do it this is what it would be like it’s the fact it’s the opposite of what we did in like one of those previous episodes where were you do the facial mirroring you start to look like your robot is what they want so you can do that I don’t want to do this anyway not a freaky listen you don’t need a robot you can have me I’ll come stay at your house and you can have this robot that’s this singer when robots can babysit my kids then we’ll know we’ve arrived because there’s nothing more difficult than that honey what you’re come home and it seemed oh he likes sneak in it’s just creepy he’s gonna be sneaking around your kids and then when you get home he’s gonna go you know I don’t know if I could have it I need a real babysitter I know robots are more trustworthy as long as they don’t like squeeze them too hard he is very ginger he could take your toddler him give him juice and give him juice that’s right that’s really all I need no stairs in my house but mommy would take him an hour and a half that is a diaper though that is the litmus test for or for anything if you can babysit a child then you’re good babysitters are expensive too that’s kind of what I’m getting at what are you waiting for robots to do leave a comment below in this episode I’m gonna do it in a robotic fashion look at me I could end the wheel I can pour orange juice and babysit your children not yet as long as there aren’t stairs Rhett defends himself from a black bear I don’t know how to do this you not be a black bear don’t hurt me because they you need to respond in the way that you would my bad my bad man okay I’m just gonna be over here eating this piece of picnic over here the best relationship I’d ever be in
