on today's show tiny 3d printed organs a robot that can make you a latte and a brand new comic convention that may be better than every other comic convention it's tomorrow daily greetings citizen to the internet and welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley sceva joining me as always kale anonymous how you doing today Ashley I'm good I'm really good like I like your hair today thank you that's really nice thank God so I can't wait to tell you about this convention I know you love convention I got back from wine I love a good con so let's hit those stories you didn't mean an actual con right I hate cons what like criminals I like a good long con like with your friends or you're playing a joke on him over a long period that's good good of a long con but tell me about this image so this convention seemingly came out of nowhere this is called Silicon Valley comic-con now why is it called Silicon Valley comic-con you may ask well that's because state none other than steve wozniak is involved in creating this comic con he actually he teamed up with a little old man you may know my grandpa wouldn't that be great Stanley David Stanley and he's creating a brand new comic book convention now why would we report on that well that's because because Steve is involved he wants to make it not only comic convention but also a tech convention I love so it's the best of both nerdy worlds would you maybe say you didn't see this coming that's that's real that's a real low blow that's a real low blow um but anyway so it's so yeah so this is this sounds really really knows awesome i want to go yeah this sounds fantastic obviously there's not a whole lot that is announced about it yet they want celebrities to show up they want big studios and big you know comic book company yeah i mean comic-con's getting is getting huge yeah tech companies cool South by Southwest Interactive you were just there I was just and that's kind of a big kind of me and tech convention but this is like even more in I mean it's in Sullivan Valley so yeah it's real close I mean look California I think we have enough conventions but this one I'm having a tech and aunt comic book conventions pretty cool so if you want to go to it you want to go to Silicon Valley comic-con it is going to be a next year so don't you have picked you an see it's March 19th through 20th uh and it's 2016 March 19th 20th 2016 so we can look forward to that yes we can look forward to that uh some of us also I'm want to go i heard you or did you already bought tickets not already registered as a media person i'm like i have to i must go okay because obviously we we like to put all those things together to we like to put together geek pop culture and technology and emerging technology and movies and music and games and I someone dressed as I'll try that and then actual Ultron yeah they're in the same place would be the best thing ever no to your point I mean where do comic conventions go now it seems like we've seen everything so this is kind of like a nice addition to that and you always talk about how you know really technology is bleeding into everything we do so now it's you know it's it's a huge part of film and TV and everything else that we enjoy yeah people they're creating a are are basically making it look like Iron Man so I mean everything yeah and you we always report on stories where you get the idea you get yeah it's this show speaking of God it's this it's our convention exactly this is basically if we could put together convention this is what we would do so now we're gonna put it to you the viewer yeah uh TD hashtag TD cons as our hashtag of the day Tina come teeny cons and we want to know that if you if you can make a convention of anything in the world anything that you really like or you think deserves a convention that maybe doesn't have one what would it be and where would you have it kale Khan which is everything I know I would really like a fallout con oh oh my god and then you have to pay for all your souvenirs and bottle caps and then at the concession stand they have rad Roach meet neither those sounds terrible it sounds and everyone smells gross and they end ND and the Lancer work on that's a regular cons nice yeah fair enough but uh yeah I think that'd be fun but I think they have those in the desert already they're just kind of like post-apocalyptic con so I'm shocked as to why they don't have a Nintendo con where's Nick just yours they have great ideas Nintendo good Minecon myopic on why why not intend oak on that would be different I would go mine up mario karting yeah yeah Oh Carson you could have like Metroid stuff I mean you could have so many things Legend of Zelda I mean God they have so many great eye peas why not have a conference I think you're you're really onto something there cuz then you can have like super smash brothers brawl competitions perfect I'm better for site TTT con yeah TD cons okay TD con DD cons yeah I'm with an s okay I want to tell you about these mini organs um you're gonna have to you know to feel your way through this one so I didn't know if you knew this but did you know we can 3d print miniature versions of organs I didn't know that 3d print them so those are 3d printed organs see the ones that are twitching oh yeah those are hearts fill their hearts little hearts and the dark spot is a liver this is kind of crazy so what you are seeing in this video is was developed by team at the Wake Forest Institute for regenerative medicine like I said these are little hearts that you can see beating they are actually beating in a video on their liver attached to it um so here's how they did it they reprogrammed human skin cells into heart cells what yeah okay so reprogram program things you can and then a 3d printer took those reform cells and formed them into the exact shape and size that Wake Forest University all right and why okay so the reason these things are development is because there is a goal in the scientific community amongst people who work on this stuff to put an entire mimicked human body onto a chip onto a single chip whoa what yeah like what like a microchip yeah they wanna get potato chip not a potato okay microchip pay for you to eat dipping they want to make a small human body on a chip yeah on a kid and the reasons are great it's go insane it's a totally insane goal but i love it because the thing is is it is very much this sort of product of we want to kind of get away from animal test and the testing bad but you can't also really tests on humans because that also bad so because reasons because reaction reasons people could die people get really sick if they get a medication that their body reacts you so what they want to do is in the future someday maybe not next year maybe not in five years but someday in the future you're going to be able to have a tiny 3d printed human body version of yourself that mimics your human body and how all of your organs react because they want to still build out more little tiny miniature organs that all link up together and once they do that they can test drugs chemicals different like treatments they can test all that stuff on a verte on a really tiny version of your human body individually to see a if it works and be if you know if there are any adverse reactions and the other part of it is is it they'll be able to test if things are really harmful to human body that are new okay so that's the goal that is the most grandiose like it was like science science fiction s detect that we've talked about on the show is just recreating human body it totally totally makes sense it also sounds like at some point when we add the brain organ to the whole thing it's gonna start becoming an issue I'll be sentient we got it well it will start it'll start becoming a sci-fi or quite near thing yes and should we not be testing on it why did you create a little little Ashley don't don't test on little Ashley but that's incredible I that's that's such a great idea there's something opens up so many possibilities but it also is a little bit less of like a clone thing cuz it's not a full person it's just 3d printed sort of reprogram cells so hopefully this will kind of bridge the gap which is pretty interesting um that's crazy yeah super weird so yesterday you mentioned you wanted a robot in your car to make you coffee remember where that yeah yeah I thought was that was my high concept idea for what I wanted in a car was something to serve me that well I hope yes you don't have to bring it up I hope you weren't hoping to patent that because there is a robot actually making a coffee autonomously which is pretty cool this we discussed pr2 before this is robot over at Cornell University but now so they've been working on teaching at verbal commands and now with a whole huge like crowd-sourced wealth of information they have taught this robot or the bot has taught itself how to use an espresso machine it's never used before to make a cup of coffee okay can make a latte for you right and this is kind of a big deal so we've seen stuff like this before like the Test Kitchen that we saw last week but this is totally autonomous which makes it really interesting because this autonomy is based on object recognition skills so it lets the robot figure out what steps it needs to perform based on information that it had previously so for example okay if we use it in a human sense a good example is you know what a toaster is kale you've seen a toaster many different kinds of toasters generally speaking they have a little thing where you push down and that pushes the bread into the toaster oh yeah and then there's a dial that light or dark that's the thing that feels like this yes okay okay so if you saw a bunch of toasters and had used toasters if you got a new toaster in front of you that you'd never use before you still be able to figure it out yes okay same mechanism same type of thing here but because robots run on logic they had to use this huge wealth of information that people crowd sourced and you can actually help crowd source for this robot which is really cool you can go over to Robo barista you the latest Google Robo barista and Cornell you'll find the website they catalogued all kinds of objects for PR 2 so PR 2 is able to go to this brand new espresso machine it had never used before and extrapolate data from that crowd sourced wealth of information and say okay like I've seen in many different kinds of coffee makers or espresso machines this is what I need to use first I need to get hot water from here I need to do this I need to do this and was able to do make a cup of coffee a lot a completely outside Oh versatile learning I like that pretty interesting so they they're really excited about it it's part it's kind of a part of a bigger project that Cornell is doing with like robot a robot brain like a database almost or a data bank but yeah they're they're always looking for more people to crowd source information from so feel free to head over to robo barista and check it out how did they crowdsource it again was it videos I was a bunch of stuff so you're like information pictures it words like there's a whole just huge well of information that they were pulled from that people just gave which is pretty awesome rode on so that's what they're doing over at Cornell which is pretty cool very cool all right we're going to take a quick break those are our headlines will be right back it is a wednesday we have an awesome mod squad that is a little bit star wars-themed pretty exciting i'm sure you may or may not have seen this making the rounds of the internet and we also have your user feedback in our phone tog refer the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show everybody we are pretty excited about this particular modification that we saw on the internet it again has divorce has been making the rounds at star wars-themed but this is Mod Squad alright so do you know somebody thought you actually made that graphic that graphics yes they said they wanted a mod squad where we explained how you made that graphic oh yeah their sound I made it through emailing our graphics persons diva yeah having her make it cuz she is the best um okay so like we said you may have seen this on the internet but I was really excited because bb-8 is my new favorite Star Wars thing ever especially droid I mean I love me some r2d2 but I kind of love bb-8 so traitor this guy i know i'm totally a trader so this guy industrial designer his name's christian poulsen modded out a version 1 Sphero and made a bb8 just put it together like the day after celebration launched which is pretty awesome yeah Star Wars fans man there I mean this guy really sure we made a little custom we made a little custom PDA that's cool that's nice I love it so he said it cost about a hundred fifty bucks and materials including the Sphero so the Sierra the version 1 Sparrow is a little bit less expensive than the I'm sure you find it on ebay I kind of want one though I totally want one on but I have good news for you about that so what so he cut the Sphero in half what but he so to make it he cut the sphere in half he got around all the circuitry and made sure he didn't cut into any of that added a magnet inside the sphere Oh to have to be able to hold up the actual head of the robot and then he fabricated the head and put a magnet in there and then that's how you're seeing it on the thing so he posted how to overrun magazine so if you want to go get the instructions to make your own you can do that but I have even better news sphero earlier this week revealed that they were pretty integral in helping build and design bb-8 for the actual star wars franchise and they said that they are going to be selling them so if you go over to Spiros website you can get you can put in your email address and get on a mailing list for buying an actual bb-8 like a licensed fully licensed Star Wars BBA later this year which i will be buying for sure I need it how much I haven't said yet they haven't said yet but yeah it's uh even if it's let's say maybe it's a hundred fifty bucks maybe it's a little bit more than than a regular Sphero if it's a hundred fifty bucks I'll wait no I gotta have it right away I need it and what if it makes noise see here's the up okay that makes a little noise people maybe eight like if it if it makes the bb-8 noise like oh man I'm so in yeah so in on this but he did this guy did a really great job I'm so impressive and the fact that i cobbled it together in like a day I mean that's pretty maybe I wonder if the this V Rho 1 will give us any insight into how the actual one is run cuz like we haven't seen how exactly they have because there's also i was like lights in it yeah as radical sort of being like I mean it is a really incredible practical effect I legitimately and the trailers thought it was fake like I was like okay they probably has something they see zhi dao underneath it like they were probably putting out wheels or something nope yeah nope definitely not blowing my mind yeah awesome okay cool yeah so that's Mod Squad um and like I said Sphero I guess is gonna be offering this later this year pretty pretty great uh so let's talk about what you guys had to say about minis augmented vision technology this is user feedback oh yeah yeah yeah yeah okay she's like who yeah well we forget I didn't see yesterday's episode no you haven't seen it um so we asked you guys yesterday to use the hashtag TD cars to tell us what you thought about minis augmented vision technology which were those kind of goggles that you could walk around and then get in your car and have this circle driving augmented reality super cool driving and working on my own reality searches Sam wrote in and said why not integrate AR goggles to the windshields and I thought that was a really good question but I have an answer go on too expensive no I mean they want you to be able to also get out and get walking directions of what they are right and to be able to look at like look at the poster and see if there's tickets and all this stuff so I think that they're hoping that the glad the goggles or glasses will enable you to use them not only in your car but also outside of your car so I think that's the reason why it wouldn't be integrated into the windshield judges but there are cars with augmented reality displays like HUDs and stuff that they're working on their gonna be integrated into your windshield in the future yeah cool ok so I'm so to answer your question Fritz wrote in and said cars to have a force field so it can't be hit Plus car safety feature in demolition man oh yeah the phone has a foam oh my god yeah I love that was that would ruin the car but yeah it's like it yeah demolition man right on Simon Says died I love it and Rick wrote in and said it's 2015 and all I want is a flying car maybe a DeLorean and maybe with a flux capacitor it is the right year for that is the right here that's true well yeah yeah well time Oh into that I mean it the right year for that while it was technically infinitive or maybe maybe 2015 Doc Brown went back in time and gave like he invented it went back in time and told 1985 Doc Brown what the plan with you the Terminator franchise you're gonna retcon the actual story I'm not right kind oh maybe that happened we don't know just kidding ya see if I don't we don't know the full story we like some shady character we didn't see that yeah uh Neal Rodin said only one answer and then posted this picture what is a core submarine can you can you can you hear it oh yeah it's it's double users oh wait here let me yell it's a car submarine and then it I think it's a car submarine yes yeah yeah I mean most of the most of the earth is water so there you go a true Gregory wrote in said I can't tell you how many times I was driving and wish the seat would turn into a toilet / bday love the show that's a crappy idea file that please file it uh pin wrote in our friend pin our genius i Ken he's wait a million 60 more than me you not Logan but definitely smarter than us and Genghis combined pin rodents and hello Ashley and kill I want the functionality of the mini AR goggles but without the goggles here's how I do it build the cars unibody with paper-thin stronger than steel graphene carbon nanotubes take advantage of the materials room temperature super conductive properties and implement the unibody as a massive three-layer circuit board the outside layers fabricated fabricated to be a massive array of light field sensors like those in Litro cameras the inside of the car layer is a massive light field emitters displaying what was captured by the outer layer the layer in between the outside and inside layers that are the inner connection between the sensors and the emitter the onions real estate in the between layer is a huge super conductive capacitor battery for powering the vehicle it will be possible as soon as we figure out how to mass produce graphene and carbon nanotube material about five years enjoy the show pin nicely done man I mean pin first of all you probably live in a volcano and you're a supervillain or you're going to change holy start your are Tony Stark so I'm doing run here in this Tony Stark it is just a reminder that we are not we are dummies um so I thought that was great and then really briefly just right before we don't have a graphic for it but right before I came came up to do the show we got one that said from Brad he said the ability for my car to refused to allow my wife to drive it even if she has the keys listen Brad well you know listen some people are terrible drivers not to say that women are because I'm a very good driver and my husband that's a great um but yeah i mean i would say that there are some times where I don't want my husband driving my car so like would you say there are times we were like maybe I don't want you to drive my car I mean I guess up I'm just pretending I wouldn't eject I would I would cover my butt with this one and be like what I turn off so that if they were drunk they couldn't drive okay get her go cough he fixed it for days right yeah but I mean like I guess you just enter in a pin code you're gonna get into fights dude you won't be in the doc you have if this ability exist you're getting into fights yeah that's gonna be serious you're there so feeling I like fights but I don't like those types of fights no he likes fist fights um alright so that was your user feedback and of course our
