on today's show a robot Swan in Singapore a really really really really tiny robot claw that's going to help you maybe someday in surgery and Star Wars via are coming soon baby got your headsets tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show in the universe I'm ashley's together that's killing honest it's monday we're here yeah we survived I get on another weekend yet another weekend degree of slight freedom they let us go to the bathroom and then they put us right back in the studio so that was pretty much it yeah about it it's like big brother like the show big brother well bet also on CBS is that it looks like a weirdly shameless plug on your behalf now hopes I'm why I guess I'm what kind of somebody here is my money for doing that all right let's a babbling okay I'm gonna tell you about a robotic surgical instrument that could in fact save your life give you less downtime after your surgery and help you heal faster all right you ready yes this is a little tiny claw from a team of researchers at Vanderbilt University that's how small it is that's a that's not a that's not a giant penny that's just a normal penny that little wrist that it has is only two millimeters wide so the claw part of it is a little bit wider okay so yeah it's really little and the eye this is gonna freak you out a little bit okay i'm sorry but this claw can go up your nose and in your brain okay and like it can do things like removes pieces of tumor tissue or like help doctor so which is pretty remarkable considering if you need brain surgery in some fashion usually they have to take a piece of your skull out and get in there this would help not do that it's really gross no that's great it's cool but I don't like you talking yeah yeah exactly um but one of the people working with the project was saying that this type of technology could be really incredible in terms of helping patients heal faster because it's not as invasive obviously see you're not sawing off the square of your skull and opening it up and then just takes forever for you to healing hair has to grow back and it's all terrible so much work um so how it works is there's this this little clock type thing and then there's a tube that's Hollow and there's a wire in it and so the surgeons are able to bend retract and extend this object is tool with by pulling this wire so they're actually pulling a wire inside it that's allowing it to sort of Bend like that so what they're saying is is the reason this is really awesome is that it's almost like a steerable needle so instead of only having access to things that you can get in a straight line yeah you can actually go around stuff oh cool during surgery like this could be very handy it could help doctors tie really tiny knots inside the body without having to like make a big incision things like that is that the only video they have I think so yeah it's like a really short video that's what only have sort of looks like they've I mean it really tells the story I wish there was more but unfortunately hey I wouldn't want to show you surgery and at the on a Monday that's like seems maybe thursday guys thursday seems like a surgery day for beer all their zypson's be rolled surgery but yeah they've been working on for six years and they're not here's the thing though they have not quite made it ready for surgery because there's an interface that needs to go with it and some software for surgeons to be able to use in surgery so they're still working on that and then they'll get it all together that's really cool kind of impressive I love medical tech it's really it's really interesting to me so that brings us to our hashtag of the day which it um I thought we could have a lot more fun with the clock yes my clock so the hashtag is TD claw and what exactly what else one of the fun things could you use a robotic claw for that's that tiny Oh getting stuff but beneath the cushions of your couch without taking the cushions off I like that no it's pretty stupid in comparison to saving human lives but go ahead what's yours I would like to deceive my lemons with that thing I get real aggregated we have to DC to lemon so it's super dumb like I said pick a petty thing pick something that is Arizona be the most pay we're gonna waste this Technic everyone else is gonna be like you know nano like technology fixing tiny robots to kill cancer in the body like know who you're picking d seating lemons and reaching between our couch cushions yeah great waste your tech tell me about Star Wars hmm ok Star Wars be art show it just show it just show it I'm not even gonna we don't even not gonna send up just show it and then I'm gonna tell you play that be the thing play that beautiful star there you go okay so what you're looking at is a concept for AVR Star Wars experienced director rub McClellan and VFX artist Craig stuff worked with hammerhead VR to make this demo of VR star wars game now it's not an official game but it's really impressive it runs on the unreal 4 engine it looks amazing it's not a commercial time at all it's it's not sanctioned nothing there's no time there's just kind of like a pitch roll like something they want to do when the oculus comes out officially next year thank ya like go to Lucasfilm whatever be like look what we made you should let us make a star wars game okay cool look at those chumps yeah it's an older great as it comes around in since Star Wars is coming out in 2015 so maybe they'll start you know working on that but this is on this is an idea this is something that somebody's already put some time and effort into and it looks like the ability to actually make it again we don't know again this is just showing things off we don't know exactly how it works we don't know if you know you fly any of the stuff we there's I didn't see any lightsabers in this trailer i do not see which is kind of boiler we don't know if you get two plays the rancor nothing we know nothing it's just as visual all the possibilities that can happen so there you go I would like feelings are here in which you entirely play and first person is a rancor do the whole game is for rank whores POV but like Sims and you like work at Jabba's palace you gotta go there like nine to five you eat people that they throw into the pit fine wait you like you get like an employee review yeah you get reviewed you got to sit in front of job on he's like okay listen so your productivity is through the roof you're just eating people like crazy what I think maybe you should you could you could lose you could lose 15 pounds as I'm saying oh you know are like shorter skirts this is an entertainment establishment this is Jabba's palace this is just like a palace this is not a place where you can let yourself go after eating like hundreds of people so just you know what you need CrossFit yeah they're CrossFit turns into just dance I play that game I think we all would just like it seems like a great so there you go and we can be hopeful kind of like maybe it'll happen could I don't know I look tried to look at the video on vimeo and it was like taking down those rape made now oh yeah didn t coming at you so Carol no no baby out maybe maybe won't happen or maybe they'll go these people's houses or maybe lucasfilm's like this is amazing we want to talk but make it private we never know click on which part of the screen who you agree with you click on this side with me and click on this I'm probably just gonna pause your video yeah whatever all right all right tell me about your last thing let's talk about robot swans this is very it's a very clever way of measuring water pollution so researchers at the National University of Singapore have created these are robots in the water they're not real swans there robot or adorable they look like real swans from far away but up close not so much so you can obviously tell there they are definitely not real life swans if the program is called New Swan and it's designed to test the pollution levels in water around Singapore over time the Swan apparently that sighs bird was the right shape for the robot that's inside it and they test in water that's subject to polluting by recreational and industrial groups so they're not just watching corporations they're also watching like people and different events and things like that and testing the water for things like chlorophyll pH levels oxygen and then they can also have these sort of add on sensors that they can put inside the salons likes and say oh well we have this one very specific sensor that we want to test for this thing and then they can add on different sensors so they say they're way more expensive than underwater vehicles the autonomous like underwater vehicles that can go around and get samples and also way cheaper than actually sending a human out to do manual sampling to all these different spots they can operate autonomously they can be set up and track their own GPS marks so they don't re cover their tracks or you can actually operate them via remote control so you can send them around like you can drive them around the lake like bumper boats yeah ray Swann fights Robo swamp fights a shag battle TD robust off ice Swan buzz listen guys if you want to bring these bought these swans to battle bots maybe next year for the next round of competition I bet that'll give you enough time to put some really dangerous stuff on them I'm just saying yeah they'll be little flamethrower coming out of the beach just putting it out there seems like it could be good quick note before the break I didn't see any other actual swans in that water no that's gonna but apparently even though it's not like us like Swan infested waters that sounds crazy uh but the environment around them used to seeing Swan so it's actually less stressful for the nature surrounding them regardless whether it's a bird or not nice it um all right we're gonna take a quick break however we actually have it's a first hour break video is a fan submitted video what yeah this is from Eddie and he says hi Kailen Ashley big fan of the show just wanted to share with you a cool video that took me two years to make he actually made it made this video shot it using my Canon and combined hundreds of four thousand by three thousand images to produce this quick time lapse video of a building being constructed across the street from my office it is in 4k which you can set on youtube to see the amazing detail enjoy it here's the link and so here is this wonderful video from Eddie and we will be right back with back at her Hackett and your user feedback check this out welcome back to the show returned thanks Eddie once again for the delightful time lap it's unbelievable night so good on all right so it's Monday which means we have to talk about crowdfunding and whether or not we're gonna give our money to something so it's back at her Hackett kill you like music yeah I like to your things you like technology oh yeah that's why I'm here all right so I'm gonna tell you about helix I saw this and I was like kill might really like this okay Logan will too Logan producer Logan also likes music and technology so you guys might like this if you also like music and technology this is a wearable that's a cuff okay looks a little bit dorky but it's wireless bluetooth headphones oh look at that that live inside your cuff which is pretty freaking cool yeah so this is a discrete pair of bluetooth headphones that live inside like these top sort of compartments on the wristband so you can see that metal part of it is actually the compartment where the earbuds and the control unit live which is awesome so the band is made of the same material as the Apple watch bands so they're like really durable it's kind of soft that sort of soft rubber it's curved so it'll be pretty comfortable I i watch this part of the video and I'm like you have headphones in your walking across the street not paying attention or get hit by car it's dangerous yeah but Bluetooth 4.1 you can do up to 8 paired devices you can be up to 30 feet away from that pair of device so you don't have to be right next to it you get three hours straight of live music time and 200 hours of standby which is pretty good and so they want a hundred thousand dollars they have almost eighty thousand dollars they're definitely gonna hit their goal yeah it's a gorgeous it's gorgeous yeah it's really nice look slick I it's it's subtle enough to where i would feel okay like wearing down the street when it's like a total dork um and so they have close to eighty thousand I think they have like fifty two days left they did a longer Kickstarter so it's it's around you have time but the early birds still available so okay tell me what you think the regular retail price of this is going to be like when it comes out in stores after Kickstarter is over like what would you guess one fifty plus 1 99 which is usually like we see that a lot okay okay still super early bird levels available like 500 of them so if you watch it like relatively soon you can probably get one for 99 bucks which is pretty decent and when you look at the delivery date on it it's December of this year so it's not like hey by this bracelet and you get it in like a year and a half they're saying December of this year so are you in no no not really much I don't I don't really understand the bracelet aspect of it like I could just shove a bluetooth headset thing in my pocket like I don't really need to be carrying it around like and if I'm gonna use it i'm gonna use it and the dangly thing when she was dancing around was going well yeah that was going the only reason I can think of wearing up like wireless bluetooth headset it's because i'm going running or something like that and that would not function very well maybe we can put it on your back the bracelet didn't look like it grabbed to look like even when he like movie like just to go far like I think they don't have to defend but no I I just think that one part was it looked like you're able to you know those like those word bracelets when you're like in high school or that you were able to like squish them together or like rings they're like open sure yeah kind of push them a little farther oh I thought that's what it looked like I could be wrong I don't know it is that but with those types of it seems it doesn't always always like grass yeah you all the way especially because it's got like tech inside everywhere so I mean I three hours I wouldn't need this and I also know I can't really think of anybody that wouldn't just like earbuds are fine for me I mean unless they're like crazy like light and they're just the earbuds I don't know you I think I could see where this would be really handy if you took a lot of public transportation so like friends in New York this might be a thing but for me I don't use ear buds out and about ever like if at like ever so it mean if I'm walking around in la usually I have somebody with me and I don't want to be rude and like what's that folks in that seems rude and then if i'm in my car i'm listening through my car like why would i have bluetooth headphones on so maybe less for a car culture community more for people who use public transportation a lot I got you maybe international like I can see a lot of people in like London using stuff like this like London New York places with a lot of publishers named Charlie that I listened to so many different like I don't know it's fun to take out my phone anyway to hit it I my toes and I have a really good at pair of your bud so I have a really good the only argument I could make for it is I have a wallet case and I don't carry a bag and I don't want to stuff I can't stuff headphones into my pocket like that would make me crazy producer Logan would you back this or hecklers no he says no he's out no all right yeah i don't know i mean that's that's three not that three Hackett's really yeah I'd say for me not personally interested like I like the idea and I think it's cool and I love the sort of compartment like secret compartment and it looks like an actual piece of Joel like a jewelry or you know something interesting looking as a pillow I like it already SmartWatch if like I had money to throw everywhere yeah then maybe I would do indeed I do it but probably not here it just doesn't make any sense but if I lived in New York i think maybe yeah that's good thinking you can't just think what you do so yeah there you go that's what is again it's called helix but let's go from crowdfunding to the delightful people known as you it's every user feedback I knew you'd like that all right so we asked everybody last Thursday to tell us about kepler-452b and if they would move there not really knowing anything about the planet we've learned a little bit more apparently the gravity there is pretty intense because it's bigger than Earth yeah but they said that because it's in the habitable zone like plants could photosynthesize which means we might be able to take plants there and also over time over generations we'd probably become stockier because of the gravity like the extra gravity but we could survive it like we we wouldn't die like wouldn't be so much gravity that we would immediately be squished like our bodies could handle it it would just be a little tough they they likened it to like firefighters and people the military who have carried really heavy packs they're like we can do that like physically humans will be able to handle it it's just over time hat being weighed down all the time we would probably breed shorter stockier people that our bones would be denser like we you know that's so far down the road a time people's backs are hurt oh yeah legs my loss would be killing me anybody that's in some sort of physical activity like sports are gone and it like it's yet water sports only just get a pool out all right let's talk about what you guys thought Paul wrote in and said I would love to go I procreate the heck out of that planet oh love the way yeah the Winx but check out there man yeah get out there and get it good Rick Rhoden said I would go all interstellar on it and half the like Anne Hathaway raise my own community and they will praise me as Lord Almighty hahaha well I don't know man you got Darren have this like super advanced group of people who are like hey dub dub hey dub dub human get out of here well I said I'd go there and like read books and watch Netflix and stuff and everyone else is like I would net flix and chill over there 71 drive of you everyone's like I would I wouldn't impregnate everyone to be just like fallout shelter I kishan wrote in and said I'd moved there after I establish a penpal earthling 2 point 0 keplinger like kept llings we gotta calm Keplinger yeah so I have someone to show me how to survive their ID think that's a really smart idea and I bet if you cuz aol's still around i bet you could still sign up for a pen pal you might get one on Kepler 45 something you don't want to know what kind of pen pal you know weirdo pen pals on AOL I used to have one when I was like a kid right when the internet started her name is Jenny and shielding Gainesville Florida how long she same age yeah like say me a gym to shoot semi school pictures and I sent her school pictures and we write each other letters and then one day I she came to California and I got to meet her and her family she's a real person I had one that was like a guy in a different country who knew his own language and English and it got too intense because like his life was like way more difficult but he was like way smarter than me and I just like I'm wasting much hey sorry can't write back to you you're better than me then he was sad for the rest of his days there's a guy out there who's like kale my pen pal kale what happened uh Mitchell wrote in and said no Mitchell says no he would not go if they presuming human life have not seen or discovered space activity it could be underdeveloped forms of life so that that might be true that might be a thing so like if we haven't noticed but a lot of people wrote in for this one a lot of you guys wrote it and so many people have great answers like pin was mentioning he's like and a few other people also mention they're like we don't really we can't really see anything about the plant we just know it's there like we've we have detected it and we know where it is and how about how big it is but we don't really know anything about we can only guess like what's there what it could be rocky it could be it could be covered in terrible poisonous gases we don't we have no idea I mean there's no way to really tell until we can get you know a mission that either we have like way better equipment to see that stuff or detect it or we get closer which yeah you know 1,400 light-years away not so great the series of Kepler planets are not close the planets orbiting 45 to are very far away so it would take a really long time we would be really dead unless we were robots which cool all right last piece user feedback it's time for our photog refer the day another painfully honest uh painfully honest viewer wrote it stays max says hey guys just started watching your show in it's pretty good hahaha pretty good that's true I took this picture at the USS Arizona Memorial with my iphone 4s great picture amazing picture I just and also just you know what you know anything about this picture it's pretty good it's yeah it's pretty good oh man I've been there that place is emotional it is very intense very when your state you can feel the weight of how important that area is when you are there it's amazing and that's a girlfriend there I said she hated it really like it was boring i was like it nobody was gonna tap-dance for you at a memorial yeah it's not you're not gonna see a parade I mean no but yeah at least I have you ever get the chance you have an extra day in Hawaii like God today but if you're hours by the airport like if you get if you maybe get flight gets later maybe have a couple hours to kill before you got to check into the hotel go there it's super worth it yeah it's messed up really really nice um and it's I mean it's really beautiful memorial and max did a very nice job a pretty good job of depicting that so thank you max ok pretty good max we appreciate pretty good photography I for our pretty good show you will be minus C buddies let's say see Lizzie see a solid see alright guys if you want to send in your phone geography you can email us tomorrow at cnet com you can also find us on social media tomorrow daily on some of your favorite social media sites but really if you want to bother us you can find us on our own personal accounts yeah if you really think we're pretty good make sure to follow us on twitter i'm at kill alone again i'm at ashleys together that's it for the show today guys will be back tomorrow with a brand-new docket of science facts science fiction blown up in your face but until then begin humans will see you next time you you
