greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily noveske talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley together and i'm jeff cannata and it's time to get you up to date with some headlines researchers I can only assume who've watched the Simpsons a bunch of times are now teaching robots to feel pain why why was I programmed to feel pain johannes kuhn and sami Hadean presented their system at the I Triple E international conference on robotics and automation recently here's how it works they took a biotech fingertip sensor attached it to a robotic arm and created a reflex response for the sensor that is able to feel varying degrees of pain light pain causes the robot to slowly retract but severe pain pushes the arm into a passive mode to minimize damage kind of like human shock kuhn and had a dean hope their work helps future robots avoid unnecessary damage is this a good idea I mean I thought robots the point of robots was so because they don't yeah that's like there's a huge advantage over us hey let's send them into hazardous situations and all of a sudden they're gonna be like I have radiation poisoning out me I think maybe you're gonna feel very terrible I think maybe it's more a semantics thing of like we can call it pain but it's just avoid damaging yourself right which is what is that pain was really doing for human beings I guess avoid damaging why are you hitting yourself why you hitting yourself don't hit yourself right and don't let other things hit you let's write you another research presentation at that I Triple E conference featured a leaping cockroach robot or as I like to call it nope ah Seoul National University in South Korea collaborated with UC Berkeley to create this robot which is called jump Roach not jump rope this little roaches body is the dash robot which we've seen before but now it's got a mechanism underneath that enables it to hop jump and leap up on to higher surfaces making it more appealing for subtle exploration or maybe even search and rescue in rubble it can adjust how high it jumps and can itself if it gets turned over the only thing missing at this point is working wings which yeah maybe we just maybe just skip the wings hey we just don't maybe we just don't let robotic have jaws or teeth or fangs or claws I think we can't we're all right right I'm are I'm a little worried that just for effect they're gonna add the hissing sound that those Madagascar and hissing cockroaches make just to freak me out even more but I don't like the way you move jump Roach need a matching you didn't make this this brooch feel pain that's a woman yeah so that when I smash it with a newspaper it can feel it that's what I want to do which we talk about I mean I think we got to talk about robots feeling pain yeah I think robots feeling pain is a fascinating topic good bad is it necessary does it help things or is it the other step path to disaster a boy which sometimes you know it might be science science uh make sure use hashtag hate ed on Twitter to talk to us about robots feeling pain do you like it are you for or against it and if we like your tweets we will put them in the Thursday long show when we talk about this again we love incorporating your feedback into those shows so be sure to do that hey is it time for photographer the day it is let's check out our first selfie as I mentioned our theme this month is selfies the month of june the theme photogra for selfies and jason took this wonderful picture with his nexus 6p jason rides my name is jason i went camping this weekend with some friends at hickory run state park pennsylvania i went hiking and took these pictures on my Nexus 6p we had a great time camping and had some good food although while I was sleeping a bear ate my cheese it ripped apart some neighbors campers cooler yikes I'm not sure what the current theme is spring selfies or if you came up with a different option but hopefully one of these might make the cut you have my permission to use these photos be good human hosts of the best tech talk show in the known universe ah thanks buddy super nice this is great although uh Barry is cheese yeah uh I would have preferred a bear selfie but no no no don't do that it's dangerous actually yeah please not no more bear people have actually died trying to do thou it's not a good idea why I'm just a bear taking a selfie with it like leave your phone out next time and maybe the bear will take a selfie I don't know just just to suggest I'm sorry that Barrett your cheese though I'm done you should not have picnic basket Vanessa marks because I watched a lot of yogi Berra's good if you guys want to send in your photog sending your selfies and like Jeff said yesterday does not have to be a selfie of you it can be acting selfie gangis like i do are you doing all my drinks for selfies you created we love it take a selfie send it to tomorrow at cnet com be PG about it and also give us permission to use it tell us your name and how to pronounce it and tell us a little story about it Jason not story time out of the park I loved his story love the story gives us something to talk about that is
