Tomorrow Daily 127: An FDA-approved exoskeleton, Spider-Man comes back to Marvel and more

2015-02-10
on today's show the FDA approves an exoskeleton for use by paralyzed patients so they can walk again which is awesome spider-man is back with marble finally I kind of I've got more details but very exciting and a new hotel will be employing robots almost exclusively and you're never gonna guess where the hotel is Japan why do you ruin all my good surprises tomorrow daily greetings citizens the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley Skeletor me as always spider-man himself kill anonymous you don't know that you're not supposed to reveal your secret identity that's right is very true and about man I think the Internet collectively exploded yesterday when that news broke so well it's between that the fallout kind of 0 which thanks for not putting that on here on a story short route up Bethesda announced and a fallout press conference for e3 which they've never done before they've never had their own event which is leading a lot of people including mr. anonymous over here to to believe that fallout 4 is going to be announced yeah because like I know there are some people that were like Dishonored 2 yes it's like come on what were you doing come on what are you doing with your lights get excited I thought so anyway we got a lot of good see where yeah we got some great stuff so let's hit the headlines dishonored shut up going to go toe-to-toe against fallout I get aggravated to kill if you were cheering for dis honor dukale's gonna get our newspaper roll it up and just Bop you in the nose I love the game but let's move on alright so let's talk about ReWalk I don't know if you guys have heard of ReWalk but it is an exoskeleton and it is being used to help paralyzed people walk again which is pretty cool but the big news is is that is now fda approved oh so this is now a thing that is fda-approved people can you can prescribe it you can you know hopefully go through your insurance and it'll cover some of it it's pretty pricey I'll get to that in a minute but here it is I'm here if you're just listening it is an exoskeleton that goes around the outside of the legs and you have these carbon fiber foot plates that you put your shoes in two and then you're actually able to walk it will move the hips in the knees well and it's sort of like having a pair of robot legs and then some crutches to help you sort of balance yourself oh that's pretty it's got an eight hour battery life so it'll last you most today but then there's also backup battery so you can swap it out if it dies just like it's like your favorite android phone um and it's it's kind of amazing so it's got this is the thing I really like does not only can it walk and turn you also climb stairs in it which is pretty amazing in and of itself and then also it works with motion sensors so when you're in it and you lean forward it knows you want to start walking so it starts walking but credible but if it doesn't if like for some reason you're leaning for it it's not recognizing that there's actually a wearable like a SmartWatch that you can tell it hey I want to climb stairs or hey I want to walk right now hey I want to do this um so like super impressed crazy amazing I don't I don't know anything about like medical insurance or anything but there's an fda approval me now that that you can get it through it's possible you can get it like maybe some some you know up to a certain amount covered by your insurance well yeah because it's FDA approved it's a good thing that's like uh what is it like a try like trial therapies that are not covered by insurance so it's possible that some people might be able to get some at least some relief on the price tag which is pretty steep it's seventy thousand dollars but can you put a price tag on walking again I guess not I guess not I mean it's like one of those things were it's like it seems really expensive hopefully it'll come way down in price as we get better at making these things yeah um but but I mean for somebody to be able to get up and walk again I know they interviewed the article i dread they interviewed a woman who has been paralyzed from the waist down for i think 12 years and she said this is amazing i get to you and she's just right up and walking and she's like I just I never thought I'd feel like this again and it was just so cool like I just I I thought that was the greatest thing and I technology just get better and better and better yeah and cheaper and cheaper and cheaper so that everybody who has had you know these types of accidents like whether it's you know less the guy who got to to robot arms to control his mind or people who are paralyzed use these exoskeletons like so cool very cool nice I love it so what a great story all right tell me I know we're dying to just get right into this okay so this was a big this was the big internet thing this week as far as nerds are concerned because sony has struck a deal with Marvel to have them co-produce the next spider-man movie and the spider-man universe for kind of the foreseeable future yes the spider-man is back Marvel kind of all right I already knew that Spiderman was going to make an appearance in the next Avengers movie or Avengers infinity war but now marvel uh has signed up has allowed yeah Kevin Fahey Kevin foggy to work with Sony to kind of hold their hand and help them walk on through the prize season eight the spider-man franchise with the whole Marvel mentality I'll be real here the last class few spider-man's were okay yeah so they're going with a new direction that's gonna kind of like seep in with the Marvel Universe Oh which is a good thing but what is this mean girl said an old man in a shack on top of Mount Baldy so you said kind of like so they kind of have cuz they didn't like it's not yet i'll get to that I'll get to that I'm forgetting I know I know that's the breakdown part okay but this is what does this mean Campbell that means Andrew Garfield's out he's not gonna be spider-man anymore which means and more or less that we're gonna see a whole new start with yeah it's gonna be it may be a renewed origins gay yeah maybe a reboot but it's totally in a time of the universe also no sinister sex movie like somebody had all these plants make a sinister six movie an all-woman spider-man oh and they've this they're just we're not gonna do any of these we're just gonna see what Kevin if I he comes up with and we're gonna work together and that's so good they shell um yes I didn't know that okay so here's kind of here's kind of should we be excited okay Alice has decreed the excitations here so the right still belong to Sony so it's not Marvel's property they're still gonna belong to Sony somebody's gonna put it putting the money they're gonna do the distribution and unfortunately they're gonna get final creative control which so it's not like Marvel is gonna be like all right here it is yeah but Sony could just be like well we want them to be fluffy or whatever I don't um but with Marvel now being engaged with this there is a possibility that Marvel characters will spill over into the spider-man universe so maybe Wolverine comes in like cuts is wet so max that's fine yeah that deal work yeah you know what I mean what's all because you were so uh yeah Iron Man or whatever you're in man so so so yeah there you go it's a they're gonna be co-producing it at Kevin foggy and also Amy Pascal step down as the Sony Tony see you but started her own auction company that is still funded and run under the Sony umbrella so it's sort of like a Kansas City shuffle like she's still kind of it Sony but not technically with side it's kind of a thing so she's got a little bit of a tude if you remember the emails so I'm gonna I'm gonna hold reserved and just see what happens there's a there's a quote from the CEO of sony which i wanted to okay this is the right decision for the franchise for our business for Marvel and for the fans and we're like duh yeah I think people been so there you go the next spider-man movie is set to come out in summer of 2017 so that's presumably one will see him but also he'll be a committee award what they move back a bunch of the Marvel movies so they they took that slate I was reading about this today they took that I think it's july twenty eight twenty seventeen or whatever and they moved back like black panther I think Thor they moved Marvel properties yeah yeah because it's part of like that part of their thing and humans got moved back to like 20 19 now it's like it's shifted anything beyond that got shifted forward so it's like black panther Captain Marvel in humans like there's a few Marvel movies that got pushed back because of them saying oh well we got spider-man now so here's where he's gonna be like right in the middle of everything right in the mix not not before Avengers 3 but definitely after civil war captain america civil war which means we may see civil war we just said you're just saying a lot of things a lot of nerd but yeah so it's we'll see spider-man marvel and who knows what the future holds for spider-man ya know if it's gonna be rebooted absolutely will be a Saltine I heard it I heard a rumor today um a couple of inside sources haha say telling me that uh studio is looking for someone around the age of 19 on a play spider-man so someone young they're looking for a young guy that would be awesome so which would you play really great I think against the older Avengers like you're looking at a whole group people are quite a bit older and not only that we've only had like older ish spider-man like andy barfie was pretty he did was it like like you belong nice like better leader do you know where they're like 30 years old but playing high schoolers it was like that anyway so there you go there's your exciting news nerd news I mustn't nudes so there you go yeah we're very exciting um and that's our hashtag of the day to as speaking of which is TD Spidey and we want to know who you think should put on tights next who should be the next spider-man get creative with it don't don't go mainstream find somebody really like you know who I think my little brother I don't know lil bruh I don't have a little brother I think that miles teller that's what I was actually what is that really you were gonna say miles teller her I'd like him or Ben Barnes maybe yeah that would be a good choice I'd like either well models tellers got enough like cocky but like awkward and I yeah just and he's kind of like not beautiful but right but he's got like that sort of fate like he's got that endearing sort of face and personality like I feel like I could really like him as Peter Parker it's like I could really like him that's where I'm saying so we say miles tell her so I can't believe we both agreed on miles LOL that we didn't we did not plan that it's perfectly so he's a perfectly sassy young man yes perfectly sassy young man write that down Sony and give him give his agents a call uh Kayla can I tell you about the robot hotels yeah I was waiting for that okay so uh the hen nah hotel is ok where do I even begin with this the huis ten Bosch theme park has a hotel opening this summer and that theme park is netherlands themed but it's in japan so it's in nagasaki prefecture and it's like netherlands theme so you can get a taste of the netherlands from Japan anyway okay they're opening this hotel called the hen na hotel on on the property and it's going to have robot staff members so here's some of the rooms like we're seeing some of the pictures here from inside the hotel but the cool thing is is that you're going to have yeah there they are gonna have some robots some act toid right right up front at the reception desk and they're going to be able to help you out and and this is we have some we have some footage of these actual robots that are act towards these are the ones and funny these robots are made by the same sort of umbrella company that also handles sanrio so this is the company that's like responsible for hello kitty uh but so this is a unreal like well looking at this act toy yeah that's her she is slightly terrifying but they're gonna have these at the front desk like checking you in to the hotel and then there's going to be robots to take your luggage up to the room like it's going to deliver your luggage just put bag porters and then there's also going to be a room room cleaning you're gonna have a room cleaning robot come in clean your room a little bit like and then leave and then oh the locks on the doors are gonna be completely there's not going to be keys it's all face recognition so you just walk up to the door and it recognize your face and then you go in your room Kelly you're gonna stay there I want to try it out but like in the middle of the night if all of sudden Skynet takes over working you are hos oh boy I don't know I mean what's what's the goal they just don't like people like if you don't like people what's the deal well so the one thing is is that obviously people in Japan are a little bit more welcoming of robot says like service right and humans I know this is a really interesting sort of little factoid so in Japan right now they're having kind of a crisis of population so this huge section of the population is getting elderly so they're retiring they're passing away like they're just getting older and they're not working they're leaving the workforce but there's not enough people being born in Japan to fill that those gaps of the people who are working so they're basically like robotics is this there's this big push by obey who is there like running the country he's saying like we need have this robotics revolution where we're filling these holes where we need workers and we just don't have them like so that's it that's an actual thing that's happening in Japan right now is that their their their population is not keeping up with the amount of people they need to like have basic services I don't think that really changes my question I thought the way hey people don't know I think when people go to a hotel it's the luxury of having people like wait on you and like genuinely want to make your experience good but with a robot it's cold it's it's all formulaic in their program to do it and it's not really genuine per se yeah that's true me you don't you definitely don't get the human touch like when you're you know talking to it doesn't sound like someone's taking care of you just feels like this this robotic entities taking care of you doesn't seem I think they're still going to be people in the hotel like they said they want to have it's only they're only gonna have like 10 robots on staff when they launched but they want to hit ninety percent robot staff by like a certain period of time like in the future but I would imagine like sorceress I mean all that other stuff that you can't have a robot do like give you a massage or whatever it's only a matter of time um but yeah I have a feeling that it's a little bit of both so they're gonna try to kind of keep those personal touches where they feel they're necessary but not necessarily out like a front desk like a human reply would be like a like a grumpy old repairman andrew luck's gonna fix the robot feeding people too much food I don't know what do you want to know how much it costs to stay there night you want to guess so it's in yen it's yeah let's say yeah I it opens its like they're 70 times in normal I do okay I'll let saw four hundred a night it's really high I'm hi you yes and what is it it's just under sixty dollars a night what yeah they keep costs down I don't have to pay it people yeah but they have to build robots and make him look like humans and then repair robot they don't have to pay them up in the oil and electricity and oil give them a little like giving a little computer chips is like snacks in dollars and where's this again because I want to do it nagasaki prefecture and it's at the it's called the hen hen na hotel h en n na hotel I want to stay there anime eyes open now july they're gonna open in july alright guys we're gonna go set up our reservations for the head na hotel obviously because that is gonna be delightful and we'll be right back after this break with with a bunch of cool stuff we've got new releases its tuesday there's ton of stuff coming out this week really good stuff and of course your
