robots actually come to life and become part of our lives coming back to my
part of our lives coming back to my
part of our lives coming back to my youth as a young boy I dreamt about
youth as a young boy I dreamt about
youth as a young boy I dreamt about social robots which I developed which I
social robots which I developed which I
social robots which I developed which I created and these social robots would
created and these social robots would
created and these social robots would work and make money for me and with this
work and make money for me and with this
work and make money for me and with this money I would develop new robots and
money I would develop new robots and
money I would develop new robots and basically they would provide even more
basically they would provide even more
basically they would provide even more cash

and success and wealth and I was
and success and wealth and I was fantasizing about this and if I look
fantasizing about this and if I look
fantasizing about this and if I look today with my 40 years or 48 years old
today with my 40 years or 48 years old
today with my 40 years or 48 years old I can see that this dream is actually
I can see that this dream is actually
I can see that this dream is actually coming true not that it’s creating a lot
coming true not that it’s creating a lot
coming true not that it’s creating a lot of wealth for me but they are here and
of wealth for me but they are here and
of wealth for me but they are here and they are supporting us and what for my
they are supporting us and what for my
they are supporting us and what for my key takeaway for that is that if you can
key takeaway for that is that if you can
key takeaway for that is that if you can dream it if you can imagine it then we
dream it if you can imagine it then we
dream it if you can imagine it then we can create it and we got products like
can create it and we got products like
can create it and we got products like these if we look at well 2014 this was
these if we look at well 2014 this was
these if we look at well 2014 this was actually the year when I acquired my
actually the year when I acquired my
actually the year when I acquired my first social robot and is this little
first social robot and is this little
first social robot and is this little fella here this is now and now is a 60
fella here this is now and now is a 60
fella here this is now and now is a 60 centimeter tall robot 58 to be precise
centimeter tall robot 58 to be precise
centimeter tall robot 58 to be precise it’s about six kilos and it has been
it’s about six kilos and it has been
it’s about six kilos and it has been designed by Aldebaran in Paris and it’s
designed by Aldebaran in Paris and it’s
designed by Aldebaran in Paris and it’s a very nice social robotic platform and
a very nice social robotic platform and
a very nice social robotic platform and what I liked about it was that you could
what I liked about it was that you could
what I liked about it was that you could create small applications which we call
create small applications which we call
create small applications which we call behaviors which basically drive what the
behaviors which basically drive what the
behaviors which basically drive what the robot does and what it does not do I
robot does and what it does not do I
robot does and what it does not do I decided to tell my colleagues about this
decided to tell my colleagues about this
decided to tell my colleagues about this robot and they were all so enthusiastic

robotic replacement of labor that was
robotic replacement of labor that was done by people previously now this is

Netherlands many of you on television
Netherlands many of you on television have seen these kind of robots where
have seen these kind of robots where
have seen these kind of robots where they interacted with people in elderly
they interacted with people in elderly
they interacted with people in elderly homes for example so we decided to use
homes for example so we decided to use
homes for example so we decided to use this robot in workshops talking to our
this robot in workshops talking to our
this robot in workshops talking to our clients about digital labor and having
clients about digital labor and having
clients about digital labor and having let’s say no the floppy disk that’s long

appeals to imagination imagine what robotics could do in your
imagine what robotics could do in your
imagine what robotics could do in your business processes in 2016 I decided to
business processes in 2016 I decided to
business processes in 2016 I decided to buy a slightly bigger robot so this is
buy a slightly bigger robot so this is
buy a slightly bigger robot so this is pepper and pepper is 1 meter 20 tool
pepper and pepper is 1 meter 20 tool
pepper and pepper is 1 meter 20 tool based on the same technology the same
based on the same technology the same
based on the same technology the same company but as you can see she stands
company but as you can see she stands
company but as you can see she stands out a little bit better than the little
out a little bit better than the little
out a little bit better than the little fella over here because that’s a little
fella over here because that’s a little
fella over here because that’s a little bit small high so we use pepper a lot in
bit small high so we use pepper a lot in
bit small high so we use pepper a lot in in sessions with clients and she’s
in sessions with clients and she’s
in sessions with clients and she’s really interactive because if I look at
really interactive because if I look at
really interactive because if I look at her and I touch her for example she will
her and I touch her for example she will
her and I touch her for example she will respond to touch and things like that
respond to touch and things like that
respond to touch and things like that what’s also very nice is that people
what’s also very nice is that people
what’s also very nice is that people when they see pepper they want to
when they see pepper they want to
when they see pepper they want to interact with her so she will look at
interact with her so she will look at
interact with her so she will look at you and you think there will be a social
you and you think there will be a social
you and you think there will be a social response now what’s good to know with
response now what’s good to know with
response now what’s good to know with this robot is that if the response has
this robot is that if the response has
this robot is that if the response has not been programmed it will not respond
not been programmed it will not respond
not been programmed it will not respond what’s my name
what’s my name it’s ignoring me because
what’s my name it’s ignoring me because I haven’t programmed it to do a response
I haven’t programmed it to do a response
I haven’t programmed it to do a response on the question what’s my name I can ask
on the question what’s my name I can ask
on the question what’s my name I can ask it another question what’s your name my
it another question what’s your name my
it another question what’s your name my name is pepper so that one I programmed
name is pepper so that one I programmed
name is pepper so that one I programmed now basically what this tells me is that
now basically what this tells me is that
now basically what this tells me is that the environment in which this robot is
the environment in which this robot is
the environment in which this robot is working is structured and what I mean
working is structured and what I mean
working is structured and what I mean with structured is that if it’s not
with structured is that if it’s not
with structured is that if it’s not let’s say programs according to
let’s say programs according to
let’s say programs according to behaviors I want to see it will not
behaviors I want to see it will not
behaviors I want to see it will not operate that way
now taking pepper to today’s reality if
now taking pepper to today’s reality if we look in society there’s lots of
we look in society there’s lots of
we look in society there’s lots of debate about robotics do we want
debate about robotics do we want
debate about robotics do we want robotics to be part of our lives we feel
robotics to be part of our lives we feel
robotics to be part of our lives we feel threatened by them we worry about
threatened by them we worry about
threatened by them we worry about privacy about security about humanity
privacy about security about humanity
privacy about security about humanity you know human dignity if you will but
you know human dignity if you will but
you know human dignity if you will but in fact we you need robots because
in fact we you need robots because
in fact we you need robots because people grow older we want to live since
people grow older we want to live since
people grow older we want to live since in our homes longer not in some elderly
in our homes longer not in some elderly
in our homes longer not in some elderly home and that basically means
home and that basically means
home and that basically means distributed support distributed care if
distributed support distributed care if
distributed support distributed care if you like and that has a yeah large
you like and that has a yeah large
you like and that has a yeah large demand because we are so many and we
demand because we are so many and we
demand because we are so many and we have little a few young people at least
have little a few young people at least
have little a few young people at least here in the Western countries that need
here in the Western countries that need
here in the Western countries that need to support a lot of elderly people so
to support a lot of elderly people so
to support a lot of elderly people so robotics is must and also if you look at
robotics is must and also if you look at
robotics is must and also if you look at the environment there’s a need for
the environment there’s a need for
the environment there’s a need for robotic to do massive cleaning of the
robotic to do massive cleaning of the
robotic to do massive cleaning of the environment which we cannot do just by
environment which we cannot do just by
environment which we cannot do just by ourselves basically my talk today is a
ourselves basically my talk today is a
ourselves basically my talk today is a call to arms because currently the
call to arms because currently the
call to arms because currently the robots are being developed by the large
robots are being developed by the large
robots are being developed by the large corporates and of course there are many
corporates and of course there are many
corporates and of course there are many startup companies that have their own
startup companies that have their own
startup companies that have their own contributions but it’s still on a small
contributions but it’s still on a small
contributions but it’s still on a small scale and what we basically need is a
scale and what we basically need is a
scale and what we basically need is a vast majority of people co-creating on
vast majority of people co-creating on
vast majority of people co-creating on these these robots
these these robots
these these robots and I call it as open source development
and I call it as open source development
and I call it as open source development so currently the corporates that are
so currently the corporates that are
so currently the corporates that are developing these robots they develop it
developing these robots they develop it
developing these robots they develop it in a proprietary manner so all the
in a proprietary manner so all the
in a proprietary manner so all the intellectual property is owned by these
intellectual property is owned by these
intellectual property is owned by these companies and is not publicly shared and
companies and is not publicly shared and
companies and is not publicly shared and as a result we as people cannot build on
as a result we as people cannot build on
as a result we as people cannot build on all that intellectual property
all that intellectual property
all that intellectual property it stays secret if you like so my plea
it stays secret if you like so my plea
it stays secret if you like so my plea is for open source robotics and imagine
is for open source robotics and imagine
is for open source robotics and imagine that a hundred million people can co
that a hundred million people can co
that a hundred million people can co develop from a functional perspective
develop from a functional perspective
develop from a functional perspective technical perspective think about new
technical perspective think about new
technical perspective think about new business models around these robotics
business models around these robotics
business models around these robotics that can really make yet the development
that can really make yet the development
that can really make yet the development of these robotics thrive because in the
of these robotics thrive because in the
of these robotics thrive because in the end we need these robots we cannot
end we need these robots we cannot
end we need these robots we cannot ignore the fact that we need them my
ignore the fact that we need them my
ignore the fact that we need them my call for today is that if we can create
call for today is that if we can create
call for today is that if we can create an open platform a platform to which all
an open platform a platform to which all
an open platform a platform to which all of us can become members and share
of us can become members and share
of us can become members and share freely use technology to share then that
freely use technology to share then that
freely use technology to share then that would be great because we all need
would be great because we all need
would be great because we all need robots thank you
