- www.ted.com As a grad student, Cynthia Breazeal wondered why we were using robots on Mars, but not in our living rooms. The key, she realized: training robots to interact with people. Now she dreams up and builds robots that teach, learn -- and play. Watch for amazing demo footage of a new kids' game.

Bill Burr brought me here
+Ashwin Rao Ah, screw you main. You beat me to this comment. Good to see a fellow mmp listener ^_~
+Ashwin Rao I was looking for this comment to find out if this was the correct TED talk hehehe
+Ashwin Rao me too lol
+Ashwin Rao Hahahaahah ditto
+Ashwin Rao
LMFAO I was just about to type this in the comments section.
This was a very interesting talk. Good to see that there are people actively working towards bringing technology off screen and out to the real world. Personally, I think this is the future.
strippaah boots - Bill Burr
Really one the best TED talks I've seen in a long time. Interesting ideas. Love learning some new things about where robotic research is going. Bravo. :)
I love how she discusses the differences in social conferencing technology when the error bars overlap almost completely i.e. there is no actual difference.
The BIG problem I have with this technology, is that it acts to replace people - who need jobs and have families to support.
It is another move which concentrates wealth in the hands of the few.
One of the best TED videos ever! God damn TEDwomen more of this!
truly amazing....things are advancing too fast
Her dream has become a reality
What an awesome mom!
Mrs. Cynthia Breazeal, Have you taken into account the factor of 'new'? People may be enthusiastic when it comes to robots simply because they don't have opportunity to spend more than one week with a robot of this kind, and probably have never before experienced robots. I am wondering whether the results will be the same after people get to spend more the 3 months with a robot.
Thanks.
"You still don't know what you're dealing with do you....? Perfect organism. It's structural perfection is matched only by its hostility."
Her boots are KICKIN!!
I love robots! I've wanted an R2D2 ever since I saw Star Wars too!
What do I have to do to get a robot?
sooo, at 7 minutes in, was that graph showing standard deviation or error bars... cause all the bars overlapped. If their error bars, then all those data sets are equal lol.
I would pay anything they asked for a me-bot! That is brilliant!
It reminds me Robbie the Robot from Asimov novels "giggles"
Thank you Cynthia, for making human life better

I think little Leonardo would be an instant success as a companion toy.
Haha the stage props are hilarious. Gnarled trees, ancient pots...
I'd love to have an emotional PC.
On the other hand: my PC would cry a lot, because i have quite a short fuse. :/
@bluefootedpig you believe that they did not record the weight results, and that if the weight was less on the robot case that they would not have said so?
@ultramerton At 0:35 it says "Recorded at TedWomen".
I'll be the first in line when they come out with a miniature version of those reactive robots/exercise helpers. I'll carry it on my shoulder and name it Sumomo.
She is actually a robot, pretending to be a human talking about robots. That's how good shit's getting...
It seems to me that the main thing holding robots back is processing. Moore's law still hasn't been going quite long enough. Remember how much processing our brains do. Having far less than that (which current robots do) makes it difficult to recreate the subtleties, speed and ease of our behavior.
Fortunately, that's improving at a truly dizzying rate. Personally, I want robots to eventually take over most of the service sector. :)
@drealm and why i'm standing only at the "female spot"... but, of course, we could talk about caligula, or alexander, or about that count of winchester (i'm not sure about this last one, btw)...
@Guidje It's not sexist to make a statement that's unique to a gender's biology. For example it's not sexist to say men are taller than women. Nor is it sexist to say men are stronger than women. Nor is it sexist to say women have breasts.
just what we need. Robots that mimic emotions to gain trust and then are aimed at our children. "I love you Timmy, but I'd love you more if you bought more robolegos." and what happens to grandma bot when grandma dies it'd be like having a corpse in the house.
Cynthia é uma mulher inteligente e bonita. Soube sobre ela em reportagens sobre os robôs da MIT.
Distance play lol. Genius! That's what internet was all about at the start
Bill Burr is such a prude lol she looks and sounds fine, not skanky.
Just reading Isaac Asimovs Robot Stories now. Would love to see his visions become real.
thought of that movie IROBOT
Awesome foresight! I so wish I could live for another couple of hundred years or so... just imagine what a totally different world it will be... I don't personally buy into the False Evidence Appearing Real mind set... We humans are so adaptable, that in my mind it is a certainty that we will survive on into the far distant future, and undoubtedly we would have to, at some point have to move on, and by that time we'll have travelling out into the further reaches of our own galaxy.
Interesting that she didn't actually report the results of the weightloss study, just the overall interaction time - if you don't care about results, of course making the interaction more engaging is going to hold peoples' attention longer, but so does any novel technology.
@MaBuSt That wasn't the purpose of the study. The purpose was how accountable they are to the system. If you wanted to track weight loss, then you break the experiment, unless you want to prescribe a set diet, but even then a set diet doesn't garentee weight loss. There can be only one variable, and this case it was the tracking device used.
Humanity determines what reasons are right.
@bluefootedpig Not all people are brilliant, but they all have stomachs to fill. They all need shelter. They all need self-esteem.
You're right that it's just another step, but we need to stop taking these steps.
Yes, I can definitely see personal robots in the near future (much like the movie AI) they will help educate and protect our children, as well as assist and overlook our elders.
And I just want to add: FINNALY! A TEDwomen idea worth listening... because it didn't involve blamimg men or enphatizing (or victimizing) women.
@ORCA4312 I can see that worry, but technology has been doing forever. The shovel replaced digging by hand, the truck replaced the ox, the assembly line replaced by robots, the steam shove replacing the shovel. Lets not even get into how many jobs a computer has replaced. All it really does it replace simple interaction that requires no schooling, if anything, this is removing uneducated from jobs, requiring higher levels of education to hold a decent life. That is a good thing.
Is this the right “Bill Burr talk” about “who*e” with boots talkin about robots in the house?
This was what Bill was complaining about? Those boots aint that whooo-urrr-ish.
@drealm i cannot argue with you anymore... because anything that i possible say, you will strike back with some kind of establishment of "what is true" and "what is right" only because this behaves are standing for so many years... she is an attractive women but, before of that, she's a human being trying to do what she thinks is best for her - even in a "aesthetical" way...
WOW! i can't wait to play those games with the robots! :P
@drealm sorry, i don't get it... can you use another analogy, please???
soooo, the study at 10 minutes in. She specifically doesnt bring up the amount of weight loss and shrugs off its importance. Sure, sticking with something is important, but so is some result. I'm pretty skeptical when she doesn't show the impact of the robot on their health. kthnxby
The robots are hideous and appear to be designed by someone with the aesthetic senses of a child, but their behavior is quite impressive.
So when does Skynet start pumping out killer robots? I don't know, could be very scary. Yet at the same time really interesting.
@DirectInjected Totally agree with you, there is no reason to denigrate the women of the world by thinking you have to create a separate event for female speakers. Belive me Tedtalk arrangers, women are also good enough to participate in the regular tedtalks!
is it healthy/normal to love/care about a robot more than a human?
@Chipstastegood I read that they actually have a computer system in the UK for tracking their military aircraft. They seriously named it SKYNET. Not kidding. Yeash.
@NeckPickup i just laughed for like 10 seconds straight at this post. thank you.
the leonardo robot looks like the crack fox from mighty boosh.
grandma bot is awesome !
Remember Rosie from The Jetsons? I want a frumpy maid robot to cook my dinner for me!
I want to meet Leonardo !
this video was awesome
@granmastershake I'd suggest the Terminator movies.
Interesting stuff. I like the idea of interacting over long distances with family. I cannot agree with robots with human responses though. What's the purpose?
I will not dismiss the technology itself. I question this use of it here. Automate the mundane and boring jobs, which make people ignorant, and free them so they might seek to understand the meaning of their own personal existences. Maybe go to MIT themselves.
Am I wrong about this? What am I missing?
Leo is adorable!
@Ashphodelic Exponential progress insists you won't have to live 'another couple of hundred years.'
that is the sexiest scientist i have ever seen
+scott garvey You say it like it's a good thing...
best thing
@bluefootedpig People are not all equally intelligent - any more than people are all equally strong. All the training in the world won't make all people equal. However they are all human, and have basically the same needs.
Despite our technology - there are millions of people starving and dying of preventable diseases. There are some truly beneficial technologies - like medicine, but most are primarily designed to cut costs, and much of those costs are wages and benefits which people need.
This video is very good! :)
wow this is good stuff
@DrD0000M I don't know which comment you're referring to. CZcams's comment system went downhill ever since their major changes.
Not to shoot down all these nice ideas, but honestly, i doubt robotics will ever get introduced to people's homes and lives untill they invent sex-robots, 'cuz that's where the biggest part of the market demand is really..
make sex-robots, then make add-ons you can buy to also make the robots cook, clean, and other stuff like this :)
Why do people care about the sex of the speaker? Pay attention to the content! Awesome talk.
CLYONs.......repeating all over again
2020 covid throat bill burr brought me here
It's great and all, but the over all cost for something so interactive will lead to a lower demand for something so complex. Besides, you make them to interactive and people will start interacting with robots more than other humans. And as Futurama has shown us "DON'T DATE ROBOTS!"
This is cool stuff, but I can't help wondering if AI is worth risking the terminator armageddon?
@HigherPlanes LMFAO
ya, get better robots and more immersive virtual worlds and we move few steps closer to the world of "Surrogates".
@OZtwo A reduction in the need for low skilled drudgery? Increased demand for mechanics, engineers, etc...
Jobs on their own are not beneficial. We could get 100% employment tomorrow if we destroyed all agricultural technology requiring us all to become subsistence farmers.
The key is productive work. Productive capacity, innovation etc... The more efficient / productive we are the greater our ability to provide / produce with less effort / exertion.
@thesparitan I agree. But now that we've got it, we need to show that it doesn't deserve to exist. TEDWomen suggests what women require a watered down playing field. The content of this video clearly demonstrates that women can stand on their own feet. So why assume otherwise?!
@ORCA4312
Forward, my brothers! For science and the freedom of malekind!
Wow a TEDwomen talk about robots (=the T from TED) and the most common comments are:
a. How does this abomination exist? Why is there a TEdwomen? How dare they do a TED conference just for women? etc.
b. She's hot. I'd do her. etc.
I see now that all the people who were so upset by the first videos from TEDwomen were right. This is obvious sexism by women, there are no problems with sexism anywhere and there is no gender bias among the viewers of TED. Thank you for showing me the light.
I'm a little scared... o.o
There's no reason for TEDWomen. She's quite capable of being on TEDtalks. Seriously.
Goddammit Bill
Grandmabot.. Oh how I lol'd
She's working for SkyNet.
How can 15 people dislike this video...
@ORCA4312 hear hear. Besides that Leo bot looked pretty hot.
No. It's not possible. Way smart. Way sexy. Totally likes Star Wars. I can't take it. She's too perfect. :)
Those robots remind me of the Chuck E Cheese animatronics tho.
@325982668 Making them look like Lance Henrikson won't make them LESS creepy. ;)
It can walk, it can talk, it can empathise, but I ask you; will it blend?
@Guidje What does the word "sex" mean? Yes calling someone "sexy" is objectifying them. Which just shows the hypocrisy of you calling me a "sexist".
The Cylons are coming! The Cylons are coming!
@fantasticHorus Mogwai.
@DrD0000M I know we need better algorithms, but you seem to be dismissing processing as unimportant, it's not, it's a crucial bottleneck. Look at the successful algorithms of IBM's Watson, but the computer takes up a few fridges of space.
Wouldn't matter if we developed all the correct algorithms right now. We DO need far more processing than we currently have. FAR more, at least if you want those brain-imitating algorithms to be used by anything other than just giant supercomputers.
@drealm and if i understand your logic about my logic, how in the hell could you end in this conclusion??
I love robots, I'd totally get a robot cat.
@drealm but you can use others examples, as well, the people of pascoa island or the mayan empire... in neither of these two cases the "promiscuous culture" was the excuse for the declining of a empire... but i think is just wrong to continue with this discussion if you don't ponctuate what do you consider potentially promiscuous... anyway, i agree that "history falls back blablabla", but i just don't think that happens because hipatia showed her knees...
Teddy Ruxbin and Furbie came first.. Leonardo followed...and now Sophia the Robot lives among us...but with integrated A.I. technology. Oh yeah! Artificial Intelligence is definitely the wave of everyone's future...It will become part of our daily lives and will be ubiquitous...It will be in our personal gadgets-our computers, our cellphones, our laptops, our wide-screen televisions, our vehicles, and other personal devices...in robots too, of course. NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF ALL INVENTION...🐒
Robots are great, but what a lot of people may be over looking is the job market. Where will all the jobs go when we get to the point where robots can work for Taco Bell?
@ORCA4312 So we should not use computers anymore? or tools? You can have 10 people digging a ditch by hand, or one person with a shovel. or 100 people digging by hand, 10 people with a shovel or 1 cat. It is sad, but to think that not all people are brilliant is a sad look at life. Your brain isn't any less or more than my brain, it is merely dedicated and willingness to make mistakes and learn. It is about self reflection and improvement. Hardly my fault that you gave up on yourself.
