hello thank you for having me it’s great to be among this this awesome group who
to be among this this awesome group who
to be among this this awesome group who study things across the globe and across
study things across the globe and across
study things across the globe and across the the galaxy and I’m just a guy who
the the galaxy and I’m just a guy who
the the galaxy and I’m just a guy who goofs off with robots um I wish I wish I
goofs off with robots um I wish I wish I
goofs off with robots um I wish I wish I had that kind of impact
had that kind of impact
had that kind of impact but that said I’m amped to be here to
but that said I’m amped to be here to
but that said I’m amped to be here to tell you about about robots and and in
tell you about about robots and and in
tell you about about robots and and in particular my claim is is that that the
particular my claim is is that that the
particular my claim is is that that the impact of robotics over the next 40
impact of robotics over the next 40
impact of robotics over the next 40 years is going to look a lot like the
years is going to look a lot like the
years is going to look a lot like the impact of computing and network
impact of computing and network
impact of computing and network technology over the past 40 years if you
technology over the past 40 years if you
technology over the past 40 years if you think about the personal computing
think about the personal computing
think about the personal computing revolution the internet superhighway and
revolution the internet superhighway and
revolution the internet superhighway and how that’s changed our relationship with
how that’s changed our relationship with
how that’s changed our relationship with information how it’s made us more
information how it’s made us more
information how it’s made us more productive and be able to do more things
productive and be able to do more things
productive and be able to do more things with information and connect with each
with information and connect with each
with information and connect with each other and essentially reach out and
other and essentially reach out and
other and essentially reach out and touch someone in ways that we never
touch someone in ways that we never
touch someone in ways that we never thought possible
thought possible
thought possible our job as roboticists is to take this
our job as roboticists is to take this
our job as roboticists is to take this out of the lab take it beyond the
out of the lab take it beyond the
out of the lab take it beyond the digital world and essentially have us be
digital world and essentially have us be
digital world and essentially have us be able to reach out and change the world
able to reach out and change the world
able to reach out and change the world this is an extension of all these things
this is an extension of all these things
this is an extension of all these things to the physical world and so just give
to the physical world and so just give
to the physical world and so just give an example this is me so a little bit
an example this is me so a little bit
an example this is me so a little bit about my background as loader my parents
about my background as loader my parents
about my background as loader my parents back in the 70s and back then you had to
back in the 70s and back then you had to
back in the 70s and back then you had to use long distant telephone to stay in
use long distant telephone to stay in
use long distant telephone to stay in touch with people across the nation or
touch with people across the nation or
touch with people across the nation or across the world I don’t think they
across the world I don’t think they
across the world I don’t think they could have imagined that I’d be speaking
could have imagined that I’d be speaking
could have imagined that I’d be speaking to their grandkids over a transatlantic
to their grandkids over a transatlantic
to their grandkids over a transatlantic line having a video conversation we
line having a video conversation we
line having a video conversation we didn’t imagine those things to be
didn’t imagine those things to be
didn’t imagine those things to be possible 40 years ago and that just
possible 40 years ago and that just
possible 40 years ago and that just gives you a sense of where products is
gives you a sense of where products is
gives you a sense of where products is going to go in the next 40 years and to
going to go in the next 40 years and to
going to go in the next 40 years and to get a quick glimpse at this I just want
get a quick glimpse at this I just want
get a quick glimpse at this I just want to show the suitable technologies being
to show the suitable technologies being
to show the suitable technologies being remote presence device that’s Tom in my
remote presence device that’s Tom in my
remote presence device that’s Tom in my lab and while I’m on sabbatical in in
lab and while I’m on sabbatical in in
lab and while I’m on sabbatical in in California I’m able to stay connected
California I’m able to stay connected
California I’m able to stay connected I’m able to move around the hallways
I’m able to move around the hallways
I’m able to move around the hallways it’s sort of like Skype on wheels
it’s sort of like Skype on wheels
it’s sort of like Skype on wheels although they don’t want me to tell you
although they don’t want me to tell you
although they don’t want me to tell you that but I can have those hallway
that but I can have those hallway
that but I can have those hallway conversations
conversations
conversations and on the off day where it’s where it’s
and on the off day where it’s where it’s
and on the off day where it’s where it’s nice and Providence and not nice in
nice and Providence and not nice in
nice and Providence and not nice in Menlo Park California I can go around
Menlo Park California I can go around
Menlo Park California I can go around and enjoy those days and and look at
and enjoy those days and and look at
and enjoy those days and and look at them so basically this how the interface
them so basically this how the interface
them so basically this how the interface works you know I can see out they you
works you know I can see out they you
works you know I can see out they you know people and the device can see me
know people and the device can see me
know people and the device can see me and so I can access this this system
and so I can access this this system
and so I can access this this system from anywhere around the world this
from anywhere around the world this
from anywhere around the world this morning I was like all right I just want
morning I was like all right I just want
morning I was like all right I just want to go check in in the lab so I beamed
to go check in in the lab so I beamed
to go check in in the lab so I beamed into this system and essentially drove
into this system and essentially drove
into this system and essentially drove her on my lab and so I don’t even like
her on my lab and so I don’t even like
her on my lab and so I don’t even like Skype a house if somebody has to be
Skype a house if somebody has to be
Skype a house if somebody has to be there I can just do this myself in
there I can just do this myself in
there I can just do this myself in addition to not being reliant upon
addition to not being reliant upon
addition to not being reliant upon somebody to just be there to take the
somebody to just be there to take the

world literally change the world Tom Tom was complaining that I that I’m
Tom Tom was complaining that I that I’m
Tom Tom was complaining that I that I’m constantly moving chairs around in the
constantly moving chairs around in the
constantly moving chairs around in the lab so so there we go
lab so so there we go
lab so so there we go and so the beam is just one example of
and so the beam is just one example of
and so the beam is just one example of robots of just emerging swell of robots

ar.drone $300 you can buy one of these
ar.drone $300 you can buy one of these robots and we just hooked it up to a
robots and we just hooked it up to a
robots and we just hooked it up to a Nintendo Wiimote and started flying
Nintendo Wiimote and started flying
Nintendo Wiimote and started flying around it’s great
around it’s great
around it’s great there’s the iRobot PackBot that we’ve
there’s the iRobot PackBot that we’ve
there’s the iRobot PackBot that we’ve done some work with it does field
done some work with it does field
done some work with it does field robotics so this system was actually
robotics so this system was actually
robotics so this system was actually sent out when there was the Fukushima
sent out when there was the Fukushima
sent out when there was the Fukushima disaster to help do reconnaissance and
disaster to help do reconnaissance and
disaster to help do reconnaissance and surveys of ayres it might be
surveys of ayres it might be
surveys of ayres it might be contaminated just on a random way up to
contaminated just on a random way up to
contaminated just on a random way up to San Francisco for a meeting I just
San Francisco for a meeting I just
San Francisco for a meeting I just happen to catch a glimpse of the Google
happen to catch a glimpse of the Google
happen to catch a glimpse of the Google self-driving car I just think that’s
self-driving car I just think that’s
self-driving car I just think that’s awesome that’s that’s really cool and
awesome that’s that’s really cool and
awesome that’s that’s really cool and then we also have cute little humanoid
then we also have cute little humanoid
then we also have cute little humanoid robots that that essentially entertained
robots that that essentially entertained
robots that that essentially entertained visitors to my lab and these systems are
visitors to my lab and these systems are
visitors to my lab and these systems are great but right now what we face is that
great but right now what we face is that
great but right now what we face is that is that in order for you to have to
is that in order for you to have to
is that in order for you to have to interface with this technology there’s a
interface with this technology there’s a
interface with this technology there’s a barrier so to get it to the devices and
barrier so to get it to the devices and
barrier so to get it to the devices and the operating systems that you want to
the operating systems that you want to
the operating systems that you want to that you want to have this technology is
that you want to have this technology is
that you want to have this technology is still sort of far away it’s still
still sort of far away it’s still
still sort of far away it’s still there’s still a lot of software and
there’s still a lot of software and
there’s still a lot of software and technical overhead also it there’s
technical overhead also it there’s
technical overhead also it there’s limited access for people that might be
limited access for people that might be
limited access for people that might be disabled or access across the
disabled or access across the
disabled or access across the socio-economic spectrum and so the way
socio-economic spectrum and so the way
socio-economic spectrum and so the way that we want to get past this barrier is
that we want to get past this barrier is
that we want to get past this barrier is by creating essentially
by creating essentially
by creating essentially the world wide web of robots so use web
the world wide web of robots so use web
the world wide web of robots so use web technologies that make all these things
technologies that make all these things
technologies that make all these things that are going on great work in in
that are going on great work in in
that are going on great work in in companies and labs across the world
companies and labs across the world
companies and labs across the world accessible to everybody well the reason
accessible to everybody well the reason
accessible to everybody well the reason we want to do this is because is because
we want to do this is because is because
we want to do this is because is because we would like to have robot we know that
we would like to have robot we know that
we would like to have robot we know that robots are going to have an impact on
robots are going to have an impact on
robots are going to have an impact on society and it’s not just gonna be
society and it’s not just gonna be
society and it’s not just gonna be Skynet and Terminator that’s what people
Skynet and Terminator that’s what people
Skynet and Terminator that’s what people usually say these are not coming
usually say these are not coming
usually say these are not coming actually we are gonna be the ones that
actually we are gonna be the ones that
actually we are gonna be the ones that decide how robots are going to be
decide how robots are going to be
decide how robots are going to be behaved in society and there’s lots of
behaved in society and there’s lots of
behaved in society and there’s lots of questions that have to be answered
questions that have to be answered
questions that have to be answered outside of our robots going to take over
outside of our robots going to take over
outside of our robots going to take over the world and so these are just these
the world and so these are just these
the world and so these are just these are just a few like I just sort of
are just a few like I just sort of
are just a few like I just sort of randomly said what are we talking about
randomly said what are we talking about
randomly said what are we talking about in robot in robotics and so these come
in robot in robotics and so these come
in robot in robotics and so these come up this is just a small sampling right
up this is just a small sampling right
up this is just a small sampling right and so there are really two questions
and so there are really two questions
and so there are really two questions that you have to ask yourself when it
that you have to ask yourself when it
that you have to ask yourself when it comes to robots in society
comes to robots in society
comes to robots in society productivity how can we do more and
productivity how can we do more and
productivity how can we do more and quality of life how can this technology
quality of life how can this technology
quality of life how can this technology essentially improve everybody’s life
essentially improve everybody’s life
essentially improve everybody’s life across the world and across across the
across the world and across across the
across the world and across across the socio-economic spectrum and so in doing
socio-economic spectrum and so in doing
socio-economic spectrum and so in doing this what we’re trying to do is build
this what we’re trying to do is build
this what we’re trying to do is build the world wide web of robots they put
the world wide web of robots they put
the world wide web of robots they put into your hands the ability to use this
into your hands the ability to use this
into your hands the ability to use this technology think about the things that
technology think about the things that
technology think about the things that we’re not thinking about that mechanical
we’re not thinking about that mechanical
we’re not thinking about that mechanical engineers the computer scientists the
engineers the computer scientists the
engineers the computer scientists the electrical engineers are not thinking
electrical engineers are not thinking
electrical engineers are not thinking about right now
about right now
about right now such that we can essentially build a
such that we can essentially build a
such that we can essentially build a robot App Store that’s actually going to
robot App Store that’s actually going to
robot App Store that’s actually going to have a real impact that’s going to
have a real impact that’s going to
have a real impact that’s going to address the needs and so in order to do
address the needs and so in order to do
address the needs and so in order to do this what we’re going to do is we’re
this what we’re going to do is we’re
this what we’re going to do is we’re going to we’re gonna make robots more
going to we’re gonna make robots more
going to we’re gonna make robots more personal one experience that I’ve had
personal one experience that I’ve had
personal one experience that I’ve had that I just thought was one of the most
that I just thought was one of the most
that I just thought was one of the most awesome projects that I’ve worked on in
awesome projects that I’ve worked on in
awesome projects that I’ve worked on in my entire career is working with Henry
my entire career is working with Henry
my entire career is working with Henry Evans Henry suffered a stroke about ten
Evans Henry suffered a stroke about ten
Evans Henry suffered a stroke about ten years ago and was now quadriplegic and
years ago and was now quadriplegic and
years ago and was now quadriplegic and unable to speak and relies on assistants
unable to speak and relies on assistants
unable to speak and relies on assistants to do the basic things in his daily life
to do the basic things in his daily life
to do the basic things in his daily life he has control of his of his head so he
he has control of his of his head so he
he has control of his of his head so he can do gaze control and so he can use
can do gaze control and so he can use
can do gaze control and so he can use things like a letter board in order to
things like a letter board in order to
things like a letter board in order to communicate and have conversations such
communicate and have conversations such
communicate and have conversations such as right here he could also use gaze
as right here he could also use gaze
as right here he could also use gaze control to essentially use a computer so
control to essentially use a computer so
control to essentially use a computer so he uses gaze control to direct the
he uses gaze control to direct the
he uses gaze control to direct the location of a cursor on a screen he has
location of a cursor on a screen he has
location of a cursor on a screen he has limited ability to to use his thumb so
limited ability to to use his thumb so
limited ability to to use his thumb so he uses his thumb as a to press a button
he uses his thumb as a to press a button
he uses his thumb as a to press a button to do mouse clicks
to do mouse clicks
to do mouse clicks so when Henry saw that we actually have
so when Henry saw that we actually have
so when Henry saw that we actually have this AR Drone technology he could fly
this AR Drone technology he could fly
this AR Drone technology he could fly drones around through a web interface he
drones around through a web interface he
drones around through a web interface he said we got to try it and I said I want
said we got to try it and I said I want
said we got to try it and I said I want you to try it and and that’s what we did
you to try it and and that’s what we did
you to try it and and that’s what we did so we created a web interface that he
so we created a web interface that he
so we created a web interface that he could use so that’s the AR Drone
could use so that’s the AR Drone
could use so that’s the AR Drone it has a frontward facing camera the
it has a frontward facing camera the
it has a frontward facing camera the video feed from this camera we put into
video feed from this camera we put into
video feed from this camera we put into their web interface so he gets a live
their web interface so he gets a live
their web interface so he gets a live video feed and we also made nice big
video feed and we also made nice big
video feed and we also made nice big buttons that he could use for
buttons that he could use for
buttons that he could use for controlling the system and and so here’s
controlling the system and and so here’s
controlling the system and and so here’s our first flight that drone is actually
our first flight that drone is actually
our first flight that drone is actually gonna move really fast so so you got to
gonna move really fast so so you got to
gonna move really fast so so you got to pay attention but here goes
so I don’t know how to top this I don’t
so I don’t know how to top this I don’t know how to beat a mute quadriplegic
know how to beat a mute quadriplegic
know how to beat a mute quadriplegic being able to fly around his house and
being able to fly around his house and
being able to fly around his house and be able to do things like check out his
be able to do things like check out his
be able to do things like check out his garden and exploit him and look at his
garden and exploit him and look at his
garden and exploit him and look at his solar panels maybe even someday you know
solar panels maybe even someday you know
solar panels maybe even someday you know chase his dog around I don’t know what
chase his dog around I don’t know what
chase his dog around I don’t know what could top that you know what I don’t
could top that you know what I don’t
could top that you know what I don’t know what could top that that’s uh
know what could top that that’s uh
know what could top that that’s uh that’s just amazing and so uh so so
that’s just amazing and so uh so so
that’s just amazing and so uh so so Henry was actually is actually pretty
Henry was actually is actually pretty
Henry was actually is actually pretty better than than me or anybody else
better than than me or anybody else
better than than me or anybody else being able to fly this this turn around
being able to fly this this turn around
being able to fly this this turn around he is so much more aggressive in terms
he is so much more aggressive in terms
he is so much more aggressive in terms of checking out his garden doing all
of checking out his garden doing all
of checking out his garden doing all sorts of stuff it was amazing and so
sorts of stuff it was amazing and so
sorts of stuff it was amazing and so right after this after he checked out
right after this after he checked out
right after this after he checked out his garden he went to he went to go do
his garden he went to he went to go do
his garden he went to he went to go do it
it
it he went to land a solar panel to check
he went to land a solar panel to check
he went to land a solar panel to check out of solar panels he had a nice
out of solar panels he had a nice
out of solar panels he had a nice landing there and then and then and then
landing there and then and then and then
landing there and then and then and then this happened
and so uh so you know so after that
and so uh so you know so after that Henry basically said that he needs to
Henry basically said that he needs to
Henry basically said that he needs to practice but he also said that we need a
practice but he also said that we need a
practice but he also said that we need a better we need a better interface and so
better we need a better interface and so
better we need a better interface and so we did a we did a little bit more flying
we did a we did a little bit more flying
we did a we did a little bit more flying after that it was able to check out a
after that it was able to check out a
after that it was able to check out a ravine I was able to explore his front
ravine I was able to explore his front
ravine I was able to explore his front guard but there are people that are
guard but there are people that are
guard but there are people that are actually working on making better
actually working on making better
actually working on making better interfaces that Henry can use so this is
interfaces that Henry can use so this is
interfaces that Henry can use so this is a video from the robots for Humanity
a video from the robots for Humanity
a video from the robots for Humanity project where were they’re using the
project where were they’re using the
project where were they’re using the same web technology that we’ve developed
same web technology that we’ve developed
same web technology that we’ve developed at Brown in order to let Henry do basic
at Brown in order to let Henry do basic
at Brown in order to let Henry do basic things that he’d like to do like be able
things that he’d like to do like be able
things that he’d like to do like be able to to scratch an itch when he gets one
to to scratch an itch when he gets one
to to scratch an itch when he gets one to be able to consume a meal on his own
to be able to consume a meal on his own
to be able to consume a meal on his own to be able to to shave and so you’ll
to be able to to shave and so you’ll
to be able to to shave and so you’ll you’ll see just right after this the
you’ll see just right after this the
you’ll see just right after this the first time that that Henry was able to
first time that that Henry was able to
first time that that Henry was able to shave himself in ten years and we’ll get
shave himself in ten years and we’ll get
shave himself in ten years and we’ll get to that a little bit ahead of myself I’m
to that a little bit ahead of myself I’m
to that a little bit ahead of myself I’m amped so that’s that’s that’s amazing
amped so that’s that’s that’s amazing
amped so that’s that’s that’s amazing stuff and we’d like to and by giving
stuff and we’d like to and by giving
stuff and we’d like to and by giving this technology to people such as
this technology to people such as
this technology to people such as Charlie you see Charlie right there that
Charlie you see Charlie right there that
Charlie you see Charlie right there that was that look that he has is the same
was that look that he has is the same
was that look that he has is the same look I had on my face when I saw this
look I had on my face when I saw this
look I had on my face when I saw this video
Charlie’s not gonna forgive me for that
Charlie’s not gonna forgive me for that one and so and so the the robot that he
one and so and so the the robot that he
one and so and so the the robot that he was using is the is the Willow Garage
was using is the is the Willow Garage
was using is the is the Willow Garage pr2 so you see it it’s a safe platform
pr2 so you see it it’s a safe platform
pr2 so you see it it’s a safe platform it’s a spring driven system so it’s safe
it’s a spring driven system so it’s safe
it’s a spring driven system so it’s safe that’s Wesley my son he’s able to use
that’s Wesley my son he’s able to use
that’s Wesley my son he’s able to use the system it’s powered on it also can
the system it’s powered on it also can
the system it’s powered on it also can do more autonomous things so we have a
do more autonomous things so we have a
do more autonomous things so we have a laser range sensor which sense of depth
laser range sensor which sense of depth
laser range sensor which sense of depth so near far wherever you are it will be
so near far wherever you are it will be
so near far wherever you are it will be able to sense it will be able to send
able to sense it will be able to send
able to sense it will be able to send step and so we can use these to
step and so we can use these to
step and so we can use these to essentially build build Maps so this is
essentially build build Maps so this is
essentially build build Maps so this is us driving we have a web interface for
us driving we have a web interface for
us driving we have a web interface for us to do what’s called simultaneous
us to do what’s called simultaneous
us to do what’s called simultaneous localization and mapping that is the
localization and mapping that is the
localization and mapping that is the robot can see open space in front of it
robot can see open space in front of it
robot can see open space in front of it and as it moves around it stitches that
and as it moves around it stitches that
and as it moves around it stitches that space together in order to create a
space together in order to create a
space together in order to create a floor plan estimate the the floor plan
floor plan estimate the the floor plan
floor plan estimate the the floor plan of a building or any sort of physical
of a building or any sort of physical
of a building or any sort of physical space if you drive this robot around
space if you drive this robot around
space if you drive this robot around long enough around Willow Garage you’ll
long enough around Willow Garage you’ll
long enough around Willow Garage you’ll get a map that looks something like this
get a map that looks something like this
get a map that looks something like this which is a very good resemblance to the
which is a very good resemblance to the
which is a very good resemblance to the actual architectural floor plan but if
actual architectural floor plan but if
actual architectural floor plan but if you look at that map it doesn’t look
you look at that map it doesn’t look
you look at that map it doesn’t look very inviting it’s like what is all this
very inviting it’s like what is all this
very inviting it’s like what is all this stuff it doesn’t make any sense and so
stuff it doesn’t make any sense and so
stuff it doesn’t make any sense and so we’re working on tools to essentially
we’re working on tools to essentially
we’re working on tools to essentially annotate these systems to mark up the
annotate these systems to mark up the
annotate these systems to mark up the system the same way that that the web
system the same way that that the web
system the same way that that the web allows us to mark up documents and share
allows us to mark up documents and share
allows us to mark up documents and share them we are marking up the physical
them we are marking up the physical
them we are marking up the physical world so we can share access and once we
world so we can share access and once we
world so we can share access and once we do that we have a common representation
do that we have a common representation
do that we have a common representation with the robot to then send it to have
with the robot to then send it to have
with the robot to then send it to have it do autonomous things like if we
it do autonomous things like if we
it do autonomous things like if we annotate the location of the bike rack
annotate the location of the bike rack
annotate the location of the bike rack and we can tell the robot to go there
and we can tell the robot to go there
and we can tell the robot to go there and it can autonomously navigate what
and it can autonomously navigate what
and it can autonomously navigate what using this map and so this is just some
using this map and so this is just some
using this map and so this is just some of the things that we believe are going
of the things that we believe are going
of the things that we believe are going to make the world the world wide web of
to make the world the world wide web of
to make the world the world wide web of robots more personal so you can use them
robots more personal so you can use them
robots more personal so you can use them robots that sit in our in our labs or
robots that sit in our in our labs or
robots that sit in our in our labs or not not good enough and so we need these
not not good enough and so we need these
not not good enough and so we need these systems to actually go go global to be
systems to actually go go global to be
systems to actually go go global to be accessible worldwide and impact of this
accessible worldwide and impact of this
accessible worldwide and impact of this became apparent to me around the birth
became apparent to me around the birth
