but they’re sorry Gracie woke up a

but they’re sorry Gracie woke up a little bit too early right oh god I was

little bit too early right oh god I was

little bit too early right oh god I was up to but I wanted to tell the audience

up to but I wanted to tell the audience

up to but I wanted to tell the audience about you idea how robots and humans can

about you idea how robots and humans can

about you idea how robots and humans can live together yeah that’s great but um

live together yeah that’s great but um

live together yeah that’s great but um before we talk about but let’s start at

before we talk about but let’s start at

before we talk about but let’s start at the beginning of the schedule a little

the beginning of the schedule a little

the beginning of the schedule a little time and we’re going to sleep whatever

time and we’re going to sleep whatever

time and we’re going to sleep whatever you want no I remember we’ve got enough

so to start at the beginning like

so to start at the beginning like everybody a few I have a grandpa who

here is and one of my grandpa’s hobbies

here is and one of my grandpa’s hobbies it was to repair and build old radios so

it was to repair and build old radios so

it was to repair and build old radios so he was the one who introduced me to

he was the one who introduced me to

he was the one who introduced me to electronic topics and we built my first

electronic topics and we built my first

electronic topics and we built my first radio as I was about 10 years old later

radio as I was about 10 years old later

radio as I was about 10 years old later I started studying electronics and IT to

I started studying electronics and IT to

I started studying electronics and IT to work as a robotics engineer after I got

work as a robotics engineer after I got

work as a robotics engineer after I got my master’s degree another hobby of my

my master’s degree another hobby of my

my master’s degree another hobby of my grandpa was hiking but in 2010 his house

grandpa was hiking but in 2010 his house

grandpa was hiking but in 2010 his house situation declined and he lost his

situation declined and he lost his

situation declined and he lost his mobility he was laying in bed for nearly

mobility he was laying in bed for nearly

mobility he was laying in bed for nearly the whole day and while his body wasn’t

the whole day and while his body wasn’t

the whole day and while his body wasn’t able to move his mind still was and so I

able to move his mind still was and so I

able to move his mind still was and so I had to see how my grandpa got said about

had to see how my grandpa got said about

had to see how my grandpa got said about his lost mobility although my grandma

his lost mobility although my grandma

his lost mobility although my grandma had time to take care of him he spent

had time to take care of him he spent

had time to take care of him he spent hours every day where he wasn’t able to

hours every day where he wasn’t able to

hours every day where he wasn’t able to interact with somebody I wanted to help

grandpa died before I found a solution

grandpa died before I found a solution after that I spoke to many people

after that I spoke to many people

after that I spoke to many people working with older patients and I told

working with older patients and I told

working with older patients and I told me that they only have a few minutes

me that they only have a few minutes

me that they only have a few minutes every day to take care about each

every day to take care about each

every day to take care about each patient but they are fascinated by the

patient but they are fascinated by the

patient but they are fascinated by the idea of using a robot as companion for

chance for us to benefit from a life together with robots so let us take a

together with robots so let us take a

together with robots so let us take a look at the companion most of us have a

look at the companion most of us have a

look at the companion most of us have a relationship with I shown your hands who

loneliness I thought but if I figure out

loneliness I thought but if I figure out how our relation with pets work I can

how our relation with pets work I can

how our relation with pets work I can also use this for a relationship with

also use this for a relationship with

also use this for a relationship with robots there are many scenarios where

good as a dog now think about why do we

good as a dog now think about why do we require perfect behaviors for a robot or

require perfect behaviors for a robot or

require perfect behaviors for a robot or we don’t require them for pets so we

we don’t require them for pets so we

we don’t require them for pets so we have the sphere but what if it builds

a dog a robot the talks to the Sun for

a dog a robot the talks to the Sun for 15 minutes because it wrongly recognize

15 minutes because it wrongly recognize

15 minutes because it wrongly recognize the face in it a robot but cannot

understand every word correctly but

understand every word correctly but still sometimes Rex just if nobody else

still sometimes Rex just if nobody else

still sometimes Rex just if nobody else can be around what if you start thinking

can be around what if you start thinking

can be around what if you start thinking about robots not as better humans but an

about robots not as better humans but an

about robots not as better humans but an intelligent pet we can live together

intelligent pet we can live together

intelligent pet we can live together this what if if we do so we can benefit

this what if if we do so we can benefit

this what if if we do so we can benefit from a life together with robots like we

from a life together with robots like we
