on today's show a 20 year olds idea that might clean up half the plastic in the ocean in the next 10 years robots that can adjust after they get injured and keep on walking and Disney may have made one of the coolest toys ever tmrw daily greetings citizens in the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley scavenge enemies always knock her super walkin kill anonymous hello Ashley that was I I can only do I know I felt like that was a little bit of a little bit of walk in there I before we get started obviously a big important thing to us is that fallout 4 has been announced no release date there's trailer out there it's about two and a half minutes amazing a time taking place in boston as revealed through the trailer but not spoken out loud we didn't make a story because I mean it's just the trail amazingly excited but we don't have that much it for me we have a little bit of it in the break video when we go to break we'll show a little oh yeah so if you don't want to go away I want some Salem witches can I because if it's in Massachusetts I want some like post-apocalyptic witches in it nothing's off limits nothing's off the table their spaceships and stuff in space weapons nothing's off limits but I'll tell you what is on limits our headlines I really I really like where I like you're really crushing it lately I'm like crushing it all right tell me about this the best way ever things because I feel like I know about it the more I read about this the more I got excited I'd like to introduce you plain nation this is was revealed by Disney what's super cool about this is it's amping up play time when you pretend when your kids pretend they're like oh I'm iron man or oh I'm I'm a Jedi now this accentuates that so not only do they they don't have to pretend that much basically what what it is is it is there like attachments and toys and such okay for the Iron Man 1 which I read an article about and it tracks your child's movements oh they're little their hand movements their fingers their thumb and it has this little I our base and they run around the room and its senses where they are what movements they're making on their hands this is amazing it's incredible technology for playtime there's uh they that they've released a few statues they have iron man they're also promising they'll be a Jedi one I just want a villain pop off of truck yeah pulling him off there's a there's a Marvel Avengers system includes a repulsor from Iron Man you strap on Jarvis there's Jarvis oh who helps you out with your instructions this all seems really really cool like a really fantastic I don't Muslim this if I was a kid the I read an article and the guy that was using it said that he kept freaking out the more that he kind of experienced moving it okay it looked like I'm a box like 22 toy based but the more he move and I differently got into it more different features yeah so the starter pack comes with repulsor to power activators which you saw hello man too smart figures captain america and the iron skull oh we get a villain to okay cool yeah so basically you go on these missions there's 25 missions right outside of the box it works with your room and and you guess you can like hide behind a bet like there was a kid that was all because it can sense where you are yeah um okay so yeah and also there's two player multiplayer at lunch I mean all I'm saying is as far as a toy is concerned this event impressive considering that kids want to be their favorite character they don't want to just necessarily have an action figure and at least it's getting them up and moving around or to working with a our technologies well there are technologies yeah so there you go they're also working on a play mation set for frozen I'll Star Wars lady for the babies and boys who love frozen yeah little girls and boys Allah frozen oh they just said the lady boys ladies and boys yeah ladies and boys let it go all right ok so the Marvel set comes out in October mom yeah I'd love to get my hands on this just because I want to like try it out yeah I totally wanted it's very very cool but unfortunately that brings us or hashtag of the day oh that's so important sorry um it is TDP later she played time and and our question is what kind of juice box are you gonna have before playtime yeah no that's not our question our question is what game would you want what what game would you want translated into toys like this so simulated playtime accentuated by a toy what game would you want metal gear solid because because then you can have like Ocelot talking to you instead of Jarvis and then you do missions where you have to like hide from your parents and stuff and then if they see you as I would like cuz it can see where you are from your pagan hide around the house and stuff like and then you like joke out your parents and take them down no I said I'm just kidding no you don't do them but I think that would be really fun like if you have sort of this mission that sort of like scans your room and it's like okay like now you gotta sneak through the house feel like a couple of sensors around your house and go to like sneak around and stuff make sure that nobody sees you I guards don't see you and then like you make it through your house that being seen yeah seems like I god like that's your globe for a little bit okay cool cool stealth I'll go I'll go horror but I think I do like you know the shining or something like something real crazy stuff of nightmares shining or maybe that that PT game where's family project yells at you through the Hat through the wrist set to do it take over know what is 126 times yeah yeah wasn't showing long so there you go yeah TD playtime playtime what would you like to see this game tackle yeah that's all that sounds really what incredible technology to out of the kid like where's the stuff when I was a kid we have like the duck hunt gun which was very cool by the light gun was alright and we had the burger time we had our OB we had the robot Oh what we had those are things we haven't wasn't cool I wasn't as good as this yeah plus a lot like and you just put it to the screen I know you just follow that I was terrified so shooters all right I got to tell you about these robots that can fix themselves because really this seems like an awful idea to teach a robot like I'm not super thrilled about this but a team of robotics researchers released this really interesting publication in nature about robots and teaching them to adapt if they become wounded or injured now here's how they do it and this is going to creep you out just this phrase alone they give the robot a childhood okay so they and by that we mean that so when you're a baby you learn how your body works right so like you get on your tiptoes you're on your heels you learn how your feet works you learn how you walk you learn how to adjust your walk if something's wrong with your foot like all that stuff okay okay so what they do is they do something similar they upload a quote-unquote childhood to these robots with a gamut of different gates and and adjustments that can be made and so um what it's it's like experienced in walking in various kinds of ways okay and then there's an algorithm that lets the robot search through that database when it recognizes hey like I'm not walking the same way that I normally do it can't tell which leg has been disabled it can just tell hey I'm I'm not walking the way that I am supposed to be and then it can go through the algorithm and through the process of elimination figure out how to continue to move with a modified gate that is very similar to their original gate so see that he's got a disabled leg there in the middle on the right whoa and he's walking pretty standard and so see he's learning as he goes like these are different gates that he can test and they're saying that within seven to ten tries it can get like the closest approximation to like okay well through the process of elimination I figured out exactly like what the closest getting closer right now what the closest adjustment is to my original gate like what's the what's the adjustment I can make that will get me walking very similar to early to what I was doing before others how many times seven to ten tries which is pretty pretty great so it and the other crazy thing about this is it there the the team says it doesn't really matter what kind of robot is using this algorithm like it there's not a specific robot that is required for the use of this algorithm and they were saying that they think that with some more testing it can pretty much work on any robot as long as it has sort of a an approximation of experiences a childhood that's similar to another robot so for example if you have a six-legged robot 16 legged robot and you upload the experience that experience or that childhood to another six like a robot that's different it could probably figure out how to how to continue and adjust after being injured or disabled that's crazy this is a great super super impressive that they tackled this yeah yeah and and it's great because the thing is is in a lot of situations obviously you know you have a robot out let's say in the field doing something dangerous if its leg becomes disabled you want it to be able to continue doing its job and so that I mean obviously is the point of this but next they would like to try using this algorithm on really complicated robots and more complex robots like Boston robotics Atlas robot which is that terrifying it like human oh he's like they're really kind of this a bipedal robot it's gonna be at the DARPA Robotics Challenge this weekend a lot of the entrance are using Atlas as a base model for their robots so they want to try to use this algorithm on Atlas at some point which to me just seems like an awful idea because you're teaching a robot how to once you've disabled it when it's running after you it's it'll be able to heal itself in there anytime they had like a what t600 and terminator whenever they knock off their legs and it would still like just kept going that's what ever it mines me up so we got wrong away well if you're so inclined you can check out their publication it's in nature which is a science vocation that was really really impressive science though I'm gonna childhood still great turn yeah yes it's a giving a robot of childhood freaks me out um so now I have to tell you about this idea that this 20-year old kid has he was just a teenager not a year ago and might change the world might change the world in the way that we clean up our oceans so there's a lot of plastic hanging around in our ocean yeah and that's not good that's bad and this guy's name is Boyan slot and he is 20 years old and he has an idea and he thinks the ocean should be able to clean itself he has a great idea for this he has this idea to place these giant barriers in ocean like current spots around the globe there are these huge huge huge v-shaped looking things that naturally capture objects that are floating on the surface only on the surface though so it's not like a net because a net would be dangerous because then animals and life marine life could get stuck in it so what these giant barriers do is they're these huge v-shaped barriers that have these sort of floating booms just slightly underneath the service to kind of keep it locked in place you can see that's kind of how it would work this is another sort of conceptual image of it and that would be a platform like a person could walk on and stuff and so the great thing about this is there's nothing underneath it so it the current just moves freely underneath meaning all kinds of marine life can just keep going as they please and it's just skimming the surface basically skimming the surface and the plastic it's plastic it floats right to the top the buoyancy of the plastic would bring it to the top and help collect these huge amounts there are 60 excuse me there's 6500 feet wide these barriers so they're huge their gigantic you place them in the ocean and then as the current goes through just it's basically it's like a skimmer just grabs plastic and then you clean it up so really impressive and and so garbage or naturally drifting to the barriers collection becomes a lot easier there to launch one of these things next year between Japan and South Korea they want to see what kind of a difference it can make they want to launch more of these all around the globe but they think that it's possible that if this idea works that we could decrease the amount of plastics in the oceans by half in 10 years which is a lot cool and so right now they're actually this this foundation that I think I want to say as far as I was as like as I understand it this 20-year old kid founded this foundation is currently scanning put the pacific ocean waters for plastics like to see where and how much there is to be collected so it's i mean this is like really philanthropic impressive stuff that this kids putting together and he's 20 he had a the video that we used is from one of this sort of in unofficial TED talk so it wasn't an officially sanctioned TED talk but it was considered a TED talk and he just went up there and talked for like 15 minutes about about his project in this foundation and all this stuff so really I mean crazy stuff but I mean listen this that's what makes the world so great there's people like that out there just want to want to leave it a better place than when they showed up which is pretty cool that's that's great yeah I didn't I mean he pretty much thought out everything without messing around with sea life the the platform that you saw that look kind of like a manta ray he was saying that would in theory be a solar-powered and also good water powered and then that way that you could take them to different places on the on the planet and you would just do your collections and how you move to the next pretty cool right on so keep up the good work show thats it for our headlines we are going to take a quick break we have a very short clip from fault for from the trailer today and we will be right back with a mod squad that is very uh snick snick the snick snick sick very wolverine e very wolverine eat and then we have user feedback and of course our chromatography the day so you'll click away it's tomorrow daily off all four welcome back to the shell we returned role fallout 4 again rolling it no I'm just kidding um we are gonna check out it's Wednesday which means it is we like to check out things that people have cobbled together on the internet and this one's pretty cool so it's time four Mod Squad so the cobbled visit to Kabul things cover like MacGyver's cobbles solutions okay all right all right uh so this is from eyewear and it's a Wolverine claw oh god wow oh god ionic claw it's pretty awesome sure so Maya where is a sensor that go can figure out like it's aight oh my gosh is so cool so you have these electrodes you set it all up you get your my aware yeah that you can literally it's 4-inch claws they extend when you flex your muscle and that's it and there's a lock to so you can set a muscle lock that's like no I'd like to leave them out at a certain time even better this technology is fully open source am eyewear has released all of the step-by-step instructions for you to help you build your own really cool Wolverine glove so I expect all of you dressing up is Wolverine at comic-con to have these available and ready to go at the show otherwise I'll be disappointed in you that's really cool technology I always find it weird however that usually these creators have a really good you know they've really good technology and the first thing they do is create some sort of a nerd stuff Iron Man Thing or some sort of Wolverine thing like no seriously good help people out but check this out snick they're gonna help people out though that's a mate no no that you made a really good point there and I all segue into this it's actually on Kickstarter mmm oh so you can buy like I think it's for 35 bucks you get am i aware you get the the little sensor you get the electrode you like six electrodes to build your own oh wow that's fantastic yeah nice for every five backers that back over the $25 mark they give am eyewear sensor to limitless solutions limitless solutions Lim remember the Iron Man a prosthetic for the little boy yeah it was awesome that's them that's not nonprofit so for every five people who back over 25 bucks they're going to give am eyewear sensor to limitless solutions to help build and 3d print really cool prosthetics that are low cost for kids in need well that went crazy awesome that went from really good at goes from like and then I will another guy making Wolverine claws now and then you're like doing odd mr. that was you have good technology but he's gonna help they're doing great stuff so I really cool usually I wouldn't pick like a bigger company that is doing a Kickstarter and step four Mod Squad is usually it's kind of smaller kind of individual people building stuff but I just thought this was really great and it's in there you know limitless solutions is a nonprofit that we've talked about the show with Robert Downey jr. giving the Iron Man glove to that kid or the prosthetic to that kid he was so excited that's the very same company so um so yeah if you want to back this you would be helping a very good cause and and I just thought it was really awesome Plus also you know will ring clothes that are muscle activated still don't think people should have all very nice I saw you're probably I know that it shouldn't have any superpowers at all at least are made about and not made of adamantium they're made of plastic yeah it's probably probably for the best uh do you want to talk about user feedback I'd over to youtube oh god so no then well we have to nah I'm just kidding some of you some of you I'm just kidding are you guys are really I ever usually the ones right I've been there like pretty nice are you sure look see I don't come I don't go over there that often so I just get really low saying that some of them are like the best people in the world it's true it's true okay so we asked you guys use TD pothole tell us what what other kinds of like services would you want to use that type of technology for us the pothole is tweeting to the local government to get stuff fixed jam wrote in and said I would make the line between a bicycle track and a pathway pressure-sensitive so you wouldn't run into by cyclists that's fantastic that's really smart I like that was basically I love the idea of you know those when you're driving to Vegas they have those the road is like really like rigid its textured off of the freeway so that way if you sir drifting off you get tired it like it makes your car like make a loud vibrating noise it's like we're and then you're like oh gosh like I'm not on you describe that really weird yeah but but they're little they're little bumps on the side so that if you it exists and it's your car make a noise to wake you up and falling asleep on the road or to remind you that you are in fact driving a very heavy vehicle a pin tweeted us and said a YouTube for aggressive bad driving sorted by license plate with most number of videos so basically if you're a bad driver it auto uploads videos of you back Drive oh yeah it's like your license plate number so that people can look you up and how bad you're a driver you are and then over on youtube alexandra go alexander Blum's wrote in and said they already have talking trash cans in latvia so here's the others the talking trash oh great so I somebody already took my idea I feel bad but I mean I'm glad that they exist that's pretty cool that wasn't good enough and I did it exists fair know maybe I've got my finger out of my garbage that's me garbage yeah trending garbage aficionado that's me um and then lawlzorz WTF great name by the way said pretty sure those sensors are gonna get stolen which I mean I could see where that would be kind of tempting to see these little disks that have the hashtag on those be like kind of a fun keepsake to take but I mean they are they all have kind of locator stuff in them because they have it on google map so you can tell exactly where they are so i think maybe stealing what would be not a great idea yeah but you know it's just there's a idiot son I think you're right that you did a yes I'm sure somebody it has either managed to or dried to steal those sensors we all said somebody right in from Panama City that I don't have but he was saying that it does like these things actually are working so you see the saying yeah these things are working and then the roads are actually getting fixed so and then said greetings from Panama City so hey ayee but yeah that's our that's our user feedback for today not a whole lot but quality over quantity you guys I always say okay so it's time do our very last piece to use your feedback which is always our phone tog refer of the day George sent us an email and did not tell us what phone he took this picture with so we're gonna have to guess okay here's the picture hi guys I mean in a SLR DSLR hi guys i just want to share my photo for photography took this photo on my recent vacation in mexico grand velas hotel puerto vallarta mexico i love your show and the whole scene that team not a day without checking the website look at that nice picture I want to go to there that doesn't even look real okay I'm gonna assume that George is the richest person in the world so I'm gonna say an unreleased phone and that's why he can't mention it oh ok I like it it's a super hyper phone and iphone 10 and it comes with a telephoto lens that you have to screw on and it also has a lighting kit that's built into it I like it also it makes popcorn so yeah very cool phone George yeah real wide your life is going so great that you get to have a fancy phone from the future you jerk uh yeah that's that's an unbelievable that's a great great picture I actually yeah what do you think galaxy s6 or note 4 i'm gonna guess one of those two maybe a note for right on yeah note for it it's gotta be it's got to be one of those top ones these are the iphone mmm it could be an iphone 6 plus okay um it looks really good I but I I don't know I'm yeah it's it's a tough one I don't know could be an iphone 6 it's definitely a flagship I mean obviously if it's not a fighter a shot right but it looks really good so I i would say i really do want to say though cuz the color is so like full and rich like i would like to say a note first it i'd like to say a note or maybe an LG LG g3 or four um yeah anyway you're really getting into that I am I just said George is rich and set up a photography a photographer to take a picture for him then they're get through that picture way and then someone painted it and then you throw that away yeah I like all of that I think that's a much more likely story thanks George thank you John if you'd like to send us your phone tog refer of the day I don't usually say this part so I don't know what to say next you can email us tomorrow at cnet com you can also send over story ideas you can send recipes someone said they're going to send me a tiramisu recipe recipe I don't believe it for a second I won't believe it until I bake it that's what I'm telling you um and and of course you can always find us on social media itunes rate and review us subscribe you know all the stuff you guys are internet experts we don't need to tell you what we're tomorrow daily pretty much everywhere that matters and you can find us downtown late at night at fourth and main if you'd like to come in see what we're doing down there come and check us out darkest alley you can find seediest there's wildcats rink at come and wool and and will involve you in the show no but you can also follow us on twitter i am at kill not a mess and i'm not actually scared yes i'm at ashleys gether and he I'm Matt Cail anonymous as well that's it for the show you guys will be back tomorrow including Genghis good old Genghis and we'll have a whole new docket of weird wonderful science facts and science fiction clung together right in front your face being super awesome so until then big of humans will see you guys next time bar fight
