When we first went out to talk to people in factories about how we could get
robots
to interact with them better, one of the questions we asked them was, "Do you want your children to work in a factory?"
And I think we're really going to have to have
robots
to help us.
And I don't mean
robots
in terms of companions.
I mean
robots
doing the things that we normally do for ourselves but get harder as we get older.
And so I really think that we're going to be spending more time with
robots
like Baxter and working with
robots
like Baxter in our daily lives.
And that we will all come to rely on
robots
over the next 40 years as part of our everyday lives.
I write fiction sci-fi thrillers, so if I say "killer robots," you'd probably think something like this.
I'm here to talk about very real killer robots, autonomous combat drones.
And this is why we need an international treaty on robotic weapons, and in particular a global ban on the development and deployment of killer
robots.
We must ban the deployment and development of killer
robots.
Let's make sure, for democracies at least, killer
robots
remain fiction.
Not long ago,
robots
couldn't walk.
We've heard a lot about
robots
in this TED.
So,
robots.
No? What is less impressive is that if you take these
robots
out of the factories, where the environments are not perfectly known and measured like here, to do even a simple task which doesn't require much precision, this is what can happen.
Well, for many years,
robots
have been designed to emphasize speed and precision, and this translates into a very specific architecture.
And don't think about the brains of these
robots
or how carefully we program them, but rather look at their bodies.
And this is what is done in this new field of robotics, which is called "soft robotics," in which the main objective is not to make super-precise machines, because we've already got them, but to make
robots
able to face unexpected situations in the real world, so able to go out there.
In soft robots, you just build your actuator from scratch most of the time, but you shape your flexible material to the form that responds to a certain input.
OK, but let's see some cool examples of soft
robots.
This was actually one of the first projects developed in this new field of soft
robots.
Here, you see the artificial tentacle, but they actually built an entire machine with several tentacles they could just throw in the water, and you see that it can kind of go around and do submarine exploration in a different way than rigid
robots
would do.
And here,
robots
can be very helpful with the surgeon, because they must enter the body using small holes and straight instruments, and these instruments must interact with very delicate structures in a very uncertain environment, and this must be done safely.
We have
robots
that have to deal with soft structures, so this poses new and very challenging questions for the robotics community, and indeed, we are just starting to learn how to control, how to put sensors on these very flexible structures.
But one thing I know for sure:
robots
will be softer and safer, and they will be out there helping people.
So, of course, with lots of programmable computers and
robots
around, this is an easy thing to picture.
What if we could replace them and all the asphalt that comes with them with drones and
robots
that could rescue people from burning buildings?
We could talk about all sorts of other new technologies and things which are going on,
robots
and 3-D printing and AI and all of that, but I want to take you back to something which I alluded to earlier on.
We've also learned the penguins love
robots.
My job is to design, build and study
robots
that communicate with people.
