What's it like to be a robot? | Leila Takayama 

Her train of thoughs are really fast. She nailed it in a single breath without om.. hm... em... etc.

Anyone with a fairly ordinary job in admin or retail or the service sector already knows the answer to this question 😂

20 points if you hit that guy. He's real. He can bleed. Oh? Bonus points for drawing blood.

Very impressive work. Props to the engineering team responsible of making this nearly perfect asian woman robot. Do you guys accept pre-orders?

For a moment I thought that she was the robot and that she as a robot was going to give the speech

Fascinating, well spoken and very thought provoking. Thank you!

Wow, she's a natural. the talk seemed very smooth and not planned.

Are we going to give them a gender too?

One of the most interesting TED talks I’ve seen in a long time!

This talk was one of the more interesting ones. Great presentation skills as well.

This woman doesnt breathe the whole talk was in one breath how the heck.

Comfy speaker!

but the real question is, when is TED gonna talk

Coulda just asked mr zuckerburg this question

I can't wait to see more robots in our everyday life! 👌

One of my favorite TED talks ever. And she even knew Ender's Game. Well played robot woman...well played.

Great speaker and really interesting topic!

All the best, Leila Takayama!

Enjoyed the presentation; however, everything that has a switch or an electrical connection is now called a robot.

I don't know why she called thermostat a robot, but only electronic part of the car a robot. Robot pretty clearly the function, not the means. Is mechanical washing machine somehow not robot, but if you slap an electronic controller on it it suddenly is? I don't get the entire over-personification of the robot thing. Cute robot = robot of the future, washing machine = not robot of the future. Noone cares. Robotic arm is only human if there is human operating it, and only because of that.

pets are similar to the concept of robots she explained. a pet is the reflection of its owner. robots are the same.

💊 - we humans have this trait, that we think a lot as a species, along with progress and automation (too few battles for survival, too much time to rest) we will think even more and fall into a mouse utopia, someone will finally press the button and the matrix will reboot.

It's ok to be a robot

As a TedTalk I found this to be somewhat pointless, but as an informative short video, it was okay I guess. First talking about different robots (vacuum, cat litter, dishwasher and so on), then it went to the Skype on wheels, which is cool, not really anything new, but still useful. The point about how a person can build empathy was a bit of a reach I think, I get it but we're talking about a boss or other busy people that use this to be able to be in many places at once. So like I said, it was alright as a short video on multiple subjects but not as a TedTalk, if the title was different it might've helped a little bit but still pretty bad in my opinion.

Sounds like that robot is part cat.

AI will destroy humanity.

I don't know, what IS it like, "Leila"?

She must be rich to have all those robots. :0 :0

How is it to be like a robot ? Ask any competitive bodybuilder about show preparation, final week, et c.

????"?????????????????

shes a robot, its obvious

😑

I like to be a robot right the heck right now,I’m tired of being my human self right now!!!

U have 2 be a Robot 2 no how its like

Oh no, those people I've been shooting in the video games were real people at the other end? My bad.

This is fascinating stuff. It appeared to me that, perhaps one of the overlooked elements was the ability for the remote user to fully experience the environment their robot was in. Everyone in the office has the perspective of someone being in the office who otherwise wouldn't have been there (physical presence, motion, face, voice etc.), but take the chap who was disrupting everyone - he didn't know he was banging into stuff nor did he know his volume was too loud for everyone else. Take the kids who played around on it, they didn't perceive it as real - it's unlikely they would have acted in the same way (bumping into people for points) if they were just walking around as humans. So does this raise the question of how to enable the remote user to better perceive (via different forms of feedback) how they are interacting via their robot? That is, simple video playback may not be enough, eg. should they be able to hear themselves? Should they suffer some form of penalty if they do something that is not the social norm, eg. banging into something should mean they lose motion control temporarily? I like the fact that this made me see that robotics is just as much about learning about the human as it is learning about the robot.

Women not talking about gender issues and BAM its a good talk. Its not magic, really.

Well when you are child your parents are taller than you so they persuade you a lot.

12 mins of talking like a robot. 12 mins of talking in a kungfu pace.

Instead of a future we want to live in which will constantly evolve. Should plan for what we need to live.

Wow, spoiler alert for Ender's Game :P

They will never have a Spirit

excellent

a 100 points for mentioning ender's game, such a great book!

She is a very good speaker, that was an excellent TED talk.

I love your talk, Leila! Some insights on D&I in human-robot world.

I would draw glasses on everyone's screens in permanent marker.

It seems Sheldon forget to patent his invention.

Insert enders game spoilers here

Do they make robots that move oars to propel a skiff?

Wow. 👍. Great Ted talk 👍

OMG she's my professor :)

It depends on the car year

so a repatative job

Loved the new perspective 👌

E nois meu módulo de inglês kkkkkk

😇nice

They have no consciousness so it's like nothing

Perfect

Upvoted for Ender's Game

That is a Sheldon!!!

It'a finally time autism will become the greatest gift for thinking rationally and partly mechanically.

The future.

😎

Wow. And I thought I was lazy.

Just ask 4chan, they'll tell you

Detroid - Become Human

..she talks as if no souls was to be found anymore loneliness surrounded by regrets

I love Japan 😍 from India 🇮🇳

this was pretty great

/r9k/ TED Talk

Why she talking like robots just exist and are not made by humans? Lol

since when did a dishwasher become a robot? Its an appliance. Stop trying to redefine words to brand things...a robot

This feels like it was aimed at 7th graders.

just another piece of electronic junk
