scanned this, not surprised for us, but it's probably for, for the public today was surprised. so they, they, the, they, so it as a disrespect to me as a player. so that's why it was bleeding to her about the worst situation. i said in many, many times, nobody in this world, russian surplus or bella russian, us this support, the war. nobody. how can we support the war? nobody know, normal people will never support it. style you're up to date on the oldest, full exam world news coming up outs, extra shift looks at how smart glasses and high tech walking sticks, helping people with disabilities i made visible and see next down the motor sports scoring. we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend

on d, w and the yeah, the news that she's the face of a protest movement. she's there motivator. all of us here our lives are, must these and she won't give up. no matter what model they're not make for public. took my brother hostage a few days ago. the trying to sign and must see on the job. they will be silent. starts june, 3rd dw, the. there are many gadgets that help people with disabilities lead more independent lives. for example, glasses that stuff, title spoken conversations and real time for desk people. or a smart walking stick that the text obstacles with ultra atlantic waves for people with low vision tech for more and close city. that's our topic on shift today. the,

when you see robots acting as servers and cars phase, they're typically replacing human employees. but there is a cafe in japan that does things differently. the robots here enable people with disabilities to take part in work life, but remotely from their own homes. when customers talk to these little robots, the not talking to in the i system that's talking to a real person. like for me cormier, she controls the robot from home. she's well known about 50 people with physical mental disabilities. working as robot offering says that the dorm cafe in tokyo, japan, she takes customers oldest through the robots and makes recommendations. the beek of robots fence of the food and drinks. the idea is to give people who call and leave the homes due to health reasons. but want to work the opportunity to do so.
8:18 am
it's like like look into you've got as long as i'm alive. i want to give something back to the community by working. can you go, can you and thank you, buddy. you're moving on this to me to you. my says he talks to his customers about everything from his health to the weather. so you put a menu dirty for that. i feel happy if i can be a part of society who wants to go to go go more, you must read. he may robots are equipped with a camera microphone and speaker allowing customers to talk directly to the operations. hold on me too. oh, okay. so what do you mean? customers don't really come here to see a reason me. what do you mean and when they come here because of the people behind the rehab, and they will come back to see them again and see what the cafe is authorized by or a level retrieve the tech stalls up to then it's robots like or region made to come about loneliness, the technology helps breakdown barriers for people with disabilities. doing cafe breaks people with and without disabilities together. the 1st step to what grades

for inclusion. assistive technology refers to products, but a people who, for example, can hear or see, or who are missing a body part. the market for this kind of tech is huge because more than the 1000000000 people worldwide live with some form of disability, like jessica smith from australia. she was born without the left for arm. the former paralympic swimmer is now a dis, a melody awareness advocate and relies on the help of technology. i'm not trying to hide who i am, i'm adding and sort of expanding on who i am as a person by being able to access technology that's never been available before. her high tech prosthetic link operates using artificial intelligence and can learn 14 different groups. this next clip of jessica smiths grocery shopping, demonstrates just how well this tech works and action. so
8:20 am
truly so i have 3 children, a 6 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old and they all the kids are very excited about it. they think it's amazing that i'm like half human hoffer, but half human half robots display on it prosthetic can give all that impression. the device converts electrical impulses from the upper arm, muscles, into finger booth, with a special laughed associates group patterns with circling muscle movements. and uses can configure with themselves at home or low technicians to do it remotely. so we've tried to build in the technology which allows us to connect to the hand. anyway, basically in the world and change configuration on the device instantaneously on the fly for the customer. the sensor bracelets is being tested at the university of sydney in australia is designed to detect the slightest movements of attendance which controlled huns the supple movements, and then transmitted by a bluetooth to
8:21 am
a program. who taught you a copy tunnel like that and move your fingers a little bit. you will see tiny vibrations happening in your wrist. and this, that's how our party moves so fingers. so all of a sensor actually pick up those vibrations and be use machine learning any i to make sense of those vibrations to figure out which finger is moving and how much is due to a medical condition area. and shaw has limited mobility in his left hand. he's testing the sensor bracelets by playing simple computer games. its movements are interpreted into the game. it's a lot less movement that you need to use it the best, the highest highest. we can make me a bit more functional with my left hand, like especially for computers perspective like studying and using it all day. there are many projects around the world. it's focused on the sense of touch at the

university of preston buquet. researchers are working on simulating the different layers of human skin to allow robots to have a real human touch. disc come in handy for making future prosthetics. we treat the print, not similar structure in colorado, all sufficient skin so that it can be phones called facts in a simpler way to save human skin. but instead of having no effect things, we instead mounts a camera in sight, the sensor. and we can see the cable coming from here. so that picks up that movement supposed to feel like the structures inside this office visual skin. so cameras are being used to simulate human touch. what a fascinating approach. cameras are also used as a tool for people who are blind or have low vision. take this scheduled for example . it can be attached to glasses. users can turn in the direction of the given text and either give

a voice command or press their finger down to have it read aloud. the i can be trained to recognize certain products and faces to the development of these devices often involve the same technology that's used in other sectors like autonomy was driving the a only technology that's used to keep a ton of mis vehicles on the road is also useful for pedestrians. this 5 had got just helps lines and people with little bit to navigate the cities. the cameras imbedded in the device, detect obstacles within a $170.00 degree angle. woman uses with 3 d sounds. and mentioned that like this. if an object is moving towards the user and there's the risk of a collision, bypass warns them with a sound similar to parking assistant modern cars. if there's an object on your left, you'll hear the obstacle on your left hand side. for sounds indicate where the obstacle is there a different sounds depending on whether it's the call person open,
8:24 am
that's in the way the defendants as the bypass, as a supplement, to a walking stick with one big advantage. it wounds uses about obstacles that had level to this smoke gadget has similar features, but instead it attaches to a classic walking stick. we walk, uses ultrasonic sensors, and vibrates. when there are obstacles nearby uses can connect the device to the phone by a bluetooth and then use the touch pad to access google maps and virtual assistant all while keeping the phone tucked away. a smart walking stick. that's cool. and for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, they're a smart glasses. they neighbor users to read conversations in real time by converting spoken words. and to stop titles. diana martin is deaf. she's trying on smart glasses for the 1st time with a friend. jacqueline press from x ray class. can you see anything or
8:25 am
what i was hoping to use? cuz this is a new way of being able to communicate it on the include the sure. see i do, behind this tech is one that's already well known for movies subtitling. but these augmented reality classes convert spoken words into text and projected instantaneously. this enables spoken conversations to be more inclusive to death. people as the founder of death kits international steve croup, explains, i might not quite catch everything, but this has given me a real time now a test which enables me to be informed. it may lead to be involved in which need to make decisions because i know what is being said. voice recognition algorithms quickly converts spoken language into readable text with typing fact audio stream from the microphone on the gloss as we're running it through
8:26 am
a piece of transcription software, which users have probably seen before. and the ability to set audio in say, so captions. well wait, during that we spend taking those captions. i'm putting them in say open to the reality if impact is done, the up connect to your connected death. people with sign language interpreter's via video call the interpret spoken language and to sign language and sign language into speech. this helps death, people lead more independence lives scenarios for the cause our bank interview opening an account problem with any account hosted with us and now use some emergency scenarios where of communication is very important. of course, communication is crucial and creating a society that's more inclusive to people with disabilities. and communication can happen through music to american dance. a robert wexler aims to make music accessible to all people, no matter their physical or mental capabilities. well,

she's everyone cadon and even the slightest movement produced to sound that was the goal american dumpster roman wexler, set for himself in developing the motion composer. it's been a minor with this, or i believe we're all dancers, world musicians. and that's the principle behind the motion composer. think about it, enables us all to experience those instincts on people with all capabilities. mention it all a face type. ready? back in the mid 19 seventies, robert wexler began experimenting with motion tracking in new york. you were quoted dunces, movements using body centers, and then convert the movement data into sounds that lead the foundation for the motion. composer which create sounds based on people's gestures. to achieve this, a 3 d camera film, the person's movements software then converts to sequences into corresponding

sounds. the system detects even the smallest motions. the motion composes used in therapies at clinics and increased of schools. many of moved by the ability to express themselves autistic lead through movement in life and re lloyd's people are overcome with emotions and joy. probably it's not unusual to see people crying, their workshops via tears of joy amounts of workshops, arthritis as a tom. so robert wexler has often stood on the spot in line with the motion composer. she's created a stage for people who are too often overlooked. i last seen technology act as an aide for people to better express themselves. and if it helps people with disabilities feel more secure, confident, and included in society, we've made a small step of progress. what kind of tools would you want right in and let us know for the next time,
