00:30Okay, thank you.
01:04So Traditional humanoid robots were conceived with a traditional robotics mechatronics techniques.
01:09In the last year there has been a revolution in actuation and in some mechatronics components
01:14and so the robots now are more robust, more efficient, more performing and also the cost
01:19has decreased which enables more companies, more labs to produce new prototypes.
01:26And so we are really witnessing a huge revolution and a huge increase in the number of start-ups
01:34and number of companies that produce new platforms.
01:56And so we are really witnessing a huge revolution and a huge increase in the number of start-ups
02:03and number of companies that produce new platforms and number of companies that produce new platforms.
02:26I think with the new AI methods that are now developed that do image processes, language
02:38processing, we are going to see robots that are more and more interactive, that can understand
02:44our instructions and then translate them into plans, actions, but also that they can understand
02:53new actions on the fly, new actions that are explained by the humans on the fly.
02:58And this is new.
03:00Right now, in the AI domain, there is a lot of work that is done with pre-trained models
03:09that start from a lot of examples, a lot of demonstrations.
03:12But I think it's not that far the moment where the AI methods will exhibit the generalization
03:20capacity that enables the robot to do new stuff that is explained on the fly without
03:27having demonstrations.
03:50The limits in terms of intelligence, well, I guess at this moment is what I just mentioned,
04:07is being naturally in real time able to respond to the environment, to the human, and act
04:19in complex environments like home, for example, or clinical setting like where we are.
04:27So I think this is still a big challenge and we're very far away from making robots fully
04:32autonomous to be able to interact with humans in such a way.
06:19If the pace of building robots and improving their performance and decreasing the cost
06:37continues with the same trend of these last years, maybe in 5-10 years we can see robots
06:46that are really cheap and that you can buy and they can do stuff.
06:51But honestly, I don't know if it's going to be the same price of a car, so something that
06:56everybody has, or something that is more shared, like a tool that is in some places that you
07:02can share, but I don't know if there will be a personal use.
07:47My view is that robots are a piece of technology that are there to improve our lives, make
07:54our lives easier, better, healthier, and I only see the positive side, but I'm aware
08:00that there are people that can also misuse technology, but it's always the same thing.
08:06In every object that you have in your life, you can also find a way to misuse it.
08:11If you have a hammer, you can nail, you can use it to repair a box, something, but you
08:15can also use it to hurt somebody.
08:18At the end, it's the human choice, but I know that we are creating a technology with AI,
08:23with robots that can be easily misused and can also create bad things in a sense, but
08:31I don't want to see this.
08:33So, it's not that I don't want to see.
08:35I know that there is, but I only use technologies for doing things for the public.
08:46No, no, I'm touching the button.
08:53Yeah, we have...
08:59Enough?
09:15Okay.
