00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:02 Hello, my name is Zora.
00:06 I'm a humanoid robot.
00:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:27 So my background is passion.
00:29 Passion about robotics.
00:30 Passion, actually, about Star Wars.
00:32 And so really, when you talk about passion,
00:34 it's about learning every step.
00:36 You cannot go with my age.
00:38 I'm 48.
00:39 So you cannot go with my history thinking
00:43 that I would have been to school learning about robotics.
00:46 That's the advantage that the youth of today
00:48 has, is to be able to go into that direction.
00:52 I didn't have that choice.
00:53 I only had the Star Wars movie and the imagination
00:57 of being able to do some things with robots.
00:59 At this point, we are buying the hardware, mostly
01:02 in China and Japan.
01:04 And we are putting our software and skills on the robot.
01:08 And we are reselling these robots,
01:10 whether it is in retail, whether it is in hospitals or hotels,
01:13 or even in education, in schools,
01:15 where we are providing the software in order for kids
01:18 to understand how to program the robots.
01:21 It's not that we are producing these robots themselves.
01:24 At this point, we have about seven different robots.
01:26 But what we see is the trend.
01:28 If robotics is so hot, new robots
01:31 are coming almost every month.
01:33 And the strength that we have at this point
01:35 is the software that we could call
01:38 almost a Windows of robotics, that we
01:41 are able to put that on all these new robots.
01:43 And that the people who are working with these robots
01:46 are working quite easily with these robots due to the fact
01:49 that the software is very easy to use.
01:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:56 The most popular robot that we have at this point is Nau.
01:59 It is a humanoid robot.
02:01 It's the only robot that we know of that is affordable,
02:04 has legs and a head, and has really
02:08 some kind of an affection that you can have with that robot.
02:11 It talks.
02:11 It can dance.
02:12 It can walk.
02:14 It can do whatever you want to do.
02:16 Humanoid means it has a little bit of human touch.
02:20 This is what we talk about when we
02:22 talk about a humanoid robot, meaning
02:24 a robot that has two arms, legs, and a head.
02:27 On the other side, of course, we have service robots,
02:30 meaning robots that will drive around in a shop
02:33 and have a screen and will explain you about any product
02:37 that you would like to purchase.
02:38 But these are not robots that you want to hold and say,
02:42 OK, I'm going to hug you.
02:44 With the Nau, with our solution, and we call it Nau Zora
02:48 solution, it's really a huggable robot that you want to take.
02:52 And you see the kids also taking in their arms and saying,
02:56 well, I love you.
02:56 So that's nice.
02:58 We don't have any robot at this point
03:00 that has not even 1% of the intelligence of a human that
03:05 would be able to replace any human whatsoever.
03:08 What the robots can do is repetitive tasks.
03:11 So they can do what you don't like to do,
03:13 what I don't like to do.
03:14 So to give you more spare time to do more important things.
03:18 And that's where the robots are meant to be,
03:21 not to replace humans, but to help humans, to assist humans.
03:25 If you are entering a technological shop or a museum
03:32 and you have a question about a very specific item,
03:35 it is impossible for a human to have everything
03:39 stored of every item that is present in that place.
03:42 For a robot, it's different.
03:44 It's all about data.
03:45 So that is what the robot does.
03:47 It's actually not replacing humans.
03:49 He's not going to give any warm feelings to any humans.
03:53 He's not even going to give any emotions.
03:56 What he's going to do is provide you
03:57 with simple, correct information.
04:00 So a robot is not intelligent.
04:02 We're not talking about artificial intelligence.
04:05 Artificial intelligence is data that you put in the robot
04:08 that he's storing and that he's using when you
04:10 are asking that specific data.
04:13 But he does not have the ability to do some freewheeling
04:17 to decide for himself to say what he wants,
04:20 when he wants, and so on.
04:22 So I have control of the robot, and I
04:24 can ask him anything to do.
04:27 One thing he's now going to do, he's going to present himself.
04:30 Hello.
04:31 My name is Zora.
04:34 I'm a humanoid robot imagined and programmed by Zorabots.
04:39 I come with the software, and I'm fully programmable.
04:45 I'm autonomous, and I can connect to the internet
04:48 via Wi-Fi.
04:51 I can recognize your face, answer your questions,
04:54 play music, grab objects, and even play soccer like a pro.
04:59 So about Zora itself, about this robot,
05:07 you will always have a tablet where you are in control.
05:10 So you're like in a control room where
05:13 you will be able to say to the robot, OK, stand up,
05:16 walk to that point.
05:18 And you are going to be able, through the tablet,
05:21 to actually put the robot in a certain direction.
05:24 When you arrive to a certain point, also with your tablet,
05:27 you will be able to type some sentences
05:30 that you want the robot to ask.
05:32 And what is happening, for instance, in Europe,
05:34 in some hospitals, is that you have elderly people that
05:37 don't really trust the doctor anymore,
05:40 because they feel like, I get too much medicine.
05:43 I don't feel well, and so on.
05:45 They are going to tell some things to the robot,
05:47 but not to humans.
05:49 My feeling for Rwanda, and for Africa in general,
05:53 but mainly for Rwanda, I'm not here to sell robots.
05:56 I mean, I don't feel that there is a need for robots here
06:01 in Rwanda on a daily task.
06:03 What I'm here for is to provide children the education
06:07 with the software in order for them
06:09 to be prepared to the revolution, 4.0 revolution
06:12 that is coming.
06:14 The robot we are talking about is
06:15 a robot that is ideal for an educational environment,
06:18 in order to have children to start programming
06:21 on their robots, to know how the robot must work.
06:26 The next generation of robots will be the robots
06:28 that people will use at home.
06:30 Now we are starting already with the robots
06:33 that are cleaning in the homes.
06:36 That's only a very small start.
06:39 The future robots will definitely
06:40 come in order to help on daily tasks, but it's not ready yet.
06:44 The purpose of the robots coming is actually
06:46 to make your life and to give you a better life, much more
06:52 time.
06:53 Not a better life that you will be
06:54 able to sit in front of television
06:56 and don't do anything anymore for the whole day.
06:59 You will spend your time to more important things,
07:02 whether it is time with your family, with your kids,
07:05 help them in anything.
07:07 Maybe work, making possibilities
07:10 for more important things.
07:12 The robots will be there to do repetitive tasks.
07:15 And in order to help you when you come at home,
07:18 to prepare some things, to make sure that your home is clean,
07:21 to make sure that your parents are not alone,
07:24 that loneliness is a big issue.
07:26 But being able to communicate through robots
07:29 to have daily and quality time.
07:33 (dramatic music)
