Fingers crossed. It is all going to happen. Just changing bits. It was quite nerve racking at this point. Bit of a buzz, isnt there . quite nerve racking at this point. Bit of a buzz, isnt there . Ijust wa nt to bit of a buzz, isnt there . Ijust want to learn and see all the new stuff on. Theme music plays. Welcome to bbc news, im james reynolds. Our top stories the un says parts of Idlib Province in syria are almost are you sure we shouldnt be there deserted, as nearly a quarter of a Million People flee from a government offensive. Already . Trust me, we are going to get there on time put up but dundee is 500 miles away. Even a flight 12 people are killed as a passengerjet crashes will take too long. I have a guy who into a building in kazakhstan. Dozens of people have survived. They all start screaming, knows a guy and they have a kids are crying and the lights were on in the plane but there was no sound, shortcut. All we need to do is use there were no instructions this. You need to get out more. You just need to press start. Goodness, from the crew. Spencer, are you 0k . Yes, just, just, just go with it. Go with what . Russia puts into service its first Strategic Missiles which it claims can travel 27 times the speed of sound. As chiles president gives in to one of the key demands right, follow me. 0k, of Anti Government protesters, just, just go with it. Go with what . We have a special report on how right, follow me. Ok, this is weird. Come on. Are you sure this is the months of unrest have changed what was once one of latin americas most direct route . Pretty sure, yeah. Can we at least stop and ask for directions . No need, i have got a map. Over here. 0h, for directions . No need, i have got a map. Over here. Oh, you had it upside down, didnt you . L a map. Over here. Oh, you had it upside down, didnt you . A little bit, yeah. 0k, upside down, didnt you . A little bit, yeah. Ok, this is more like it. Dundee, we should only be a couple of blocks away now. Blocks. Nice, i see what you did there. Yes, there it is was up the ante dundee. Here we come here we come from v a dundee, this bbc click live. Please welcome your hosts. Lara lewington and spencer kelly. Yes, it is that time of yearagain and spencer kelly. Yes, it is that time of year again when we leave the comfort of the click offices and go live to the world or at least to a crowd of very eager tech friends. V a dundee was the spectacular location for a show that took in everything from Artificial Intelligence to facial recognition. The museum not only celebrates the past but also looks to the future. Most people 5 idea of robots are shaped by the robots they see in science so in a film or tv or video games or music. But robots are a bit more real than what we think. Some children who grow up will now grow up children who grow up will now grow up with seri or alexa or some kind of smart helper and in the future thatis of smart helper and in the future that is going to increase, we will have more robotic helpers helping out have more robotic helpers helping our children and increasingly in an everyday basis. Currently on display is an exhibition design between human and machine. Rather than robots coming in and replacing us and replacing our jobs, robots coming in and replacing us and replacing ourjobs, the future isa and replacing ourjobs, the future is a bit more optimistic that we have an amazing Structure Commission built here are to be a day dundee and this is all by the idea of humans and robots collaborating together to create something amazing and wonderful and i think that is a bit more what the future will be like so slightly less pessimistic than what we imagine. In recent yea rs, than what we imagine. In recent years, dundee has become something ofa years, dundee has become something of a digital powerhouse. It is synonymous with games like lemmings, grand theft auto and yes, mine craft. Dundee has the honour of being the city in the world with the highest per capita volumes of games. That is for a number of reasons. It started off in the 1980s, a lot of us started off in the 1980s, a lot of us programming away on started off in the 1980s, a lot of us programming away on a started off in the 1980s, a lot of us programming away on a that happen to be made in the city so you could almost pick one up and the factory when they went slightly wrong for less tha n when they went slightly wrong for less than the cost in the shops. Some amazing videogames come out of the city at that point and that gave a lot of us inspiration to set our own companies up. The world but first videogames degree was offered here at the university all the way backin here at the university all the way back in 1997 so we thought we were check out some of their more recent work. All in the name of social interaction, of course. Why is this university so hot on games . Here, the staff have either previously made videogames or we currently make videogames and we are all part of a game lab that really fun, experimental games. You have some other students playing some of your game is over there. That game was created by doctor mona buzz dog who sloped on with lara. There are a lot of different games, all telling different stories. Tell mea all telling different stories. Tell me a bit about what you have created here. The game you see is called assembly. We are all in and the year is 1981 and there are thousands of women in the factory assembling the first ever computers. These Computers Change the face of games. That is basically a recreation of assembly line. We have the women workers trying to assemble computers from populating the boards to actually packaging and shipping. This is a bit of social history here, isnt it . Yes, it is. It is what we usually call herstories. They are at the alternative histories in the videogames history because of it was the women who were tremendously skilled and assembled the work and basically brought us the work and basically brought us the first computers. This area, stifling, hot landscape looks otherworldly but in reality, we are a couple of hours drive north of los angeles. This area, known as the coso range, was formed by several volcanic eruptions, almost half a million years ago. Back then, rivers would run through here, creating this dramatic, unpredictable terrain. I know we are in california but i want you to picture somewhere com pletely but i want you to picture somewhere completely different. I want you to imagine that i am walking across the surface of the moon. Because the technology we have come to see today is going to be put through its paces ahead of a groundbreaking Lunar Mission due to take place in the next decade. One which should teach us more next decade. One which should teach us more about the moon then we have ever known. This is a team from nasas famous jet Propulsion Lab and this is axel. Aroma that my that that may one day explore areas of the moon that have been untouched by for billions of years. There are more than a dozen huge caverns found on the moon. Created when lover flowed quickly across the surface and hardened, leaving a void underneath. Eventually, parts of that lover surface collapsed a sinkhole. That sinkhole. Sinkhole. That sinkhole. Sinkhole. We will look at the right layers of rock underneath. The robot might discover locations are suitable for Human Research is to live on the moon for extended periods of time. But before that futuristic vision can be realised, axle needs to be put through its pacesin axle needs to be put through its paces in california. This particular design you are looking at, it is a two yield rover that can operate upsidedown or right side up and that is export that important when you are going over this terrain. You could be easily tipped up the other way and you need to be able to survive that. The other thing you notice, this has no steering wheels, the reason why it has two wheels is it is differentially driven so we can go forward and backward but can also take turns. Obviously, were not going to test this in the parking lot here but it does mean we have to go 300 metres in that direction and the only way to do that, im afraid, is carry it. This isa that, im afraid, is carry it. This is a team that certainly knows what it is doing. They were involved in getting the incredible mars rover to the red planet. The moon might seem like a shorter, simpler trip, but going back and getting deeper could unravel important mysteries. We are specifically targeting this pit crater in the sea of tranquillity. This is something they discovered only a few years ago. Some of the craters on the moon are not your traditional impact craters, they are these very strange, vertical bore holes into the moon and no one is exactly sure what those are but what we do know is that there is a lot of geological history that is exposed there on the side of this, this crater wall. If axel does make it to the moon, it will be attached to a lunar rover which will land a few hundred feet away from where the dream that team need to explore. From that, axel will get instructions from the team and it will act like a rope as it abseils down into the moons depths. Today we are because dont have the lunar rover with us so axel will be supported by a rock. This is tricky business. If it is not secure, we could see axel plummet to the rocks below. It is a long, slow, nervous process with a few hiccups along the way as axel struggled with the unforgiving volcanic terrain. But it wasnt mission accomplished. Axel wasnt mission accomplished. Axel was able to abseil its way down the cliff edge is only on earth for now. This would be the first repelling rover ever to be fielded off world so rover ever to be fielded off world so if we can establish that technology and gain confidence in that, now we can start looking at places like mars. They are a little harder to get to but have lots of interesting questions that need to be answered. If it works, there is a whole galaxy of possibilities as to where axle goes next. If you thought that was cool, i was lucky enough to be joined onstage if you thought that was cool, i was lucky enough to bejoined onstage by axels little brother, papa. Lucky enough to bejoined onstage by axels little brother, papa. It is designed to take impacts like that. Those balloons you saw as the material that we have landed on mars before. This looks pretty flimsy. This is similar to boat proof fabric. We take it and folded up and thatis fabric. We take it and folded up and that is that robot and this origami shape takes impacts very nicely. So it is tougher than it looks tell me what its real world purpose is to stop this can take any instrument. We can do any science you are looking to do wherever you want to go. These are not the only wheels we have for our two wheeled robots. So, if consumers were to buy one of these because that is the aim, what exactly would they be doing with it . We can do Citizen Science so they can take them out into the field, they can have different sensors on them and then we can get s huge datasets we can use to do state of the art science here on earth. How much would it looks like a print that pretty pricey bit of kit. Element this is about 200 for the two wheels but we can get them down to tens of dollars. Ok, quite a difference. This isnt the only robot you have with them. There is another one literally climbing the walls. Lets take a look. What is this exactly . This is our observations. You can see the eye crawling up the wall and the controlled sense of gravity. It is climbing the lift shaft. Claiming quite nicely but what is it for . M is for basically surveillance. This is for basically surveillance. This is an earth application and the same wheels we can put on these rovers and climb 60 degrees slopes on a mars analogue. You have also created something that has been digging beneath the surface was not we will ta ke beneath the surface was not we will take a look at it here. The future of robotics is underground so this is our life so they are trying to get through the open window that cassini found on the moon of saturn that goes right to an alienation. How easy to breakthrough is the surface . Well, there is these active guises or a plume events that we know are sourced from the ocean so right here, we will get our first taste and the smell of an alien ocean. A huge thank you to you and your colleagues from nasa who also came and of course to all of the robot. We have to be nice to them. Applause. Professor anna lou waller has dedicated 30 years of her life to researching technologies to improve communication for those who have difficulty speaking. It is very much like the predictive text on your phone but as we saw when we invited her onto the stage, it can bea invited her onto the stage, it can be a very slow process. They should be a very slow process. They should be telling a story in real time. In a laborious, time consuming. These can be communication aids and how on earth do you conduct a real conversation in that speed . Her team, herteam, in her team, in partnership with every university has created a new system that remembers what was typed before to offer up all sentence chunks in one go. Using full sentences as i speak. So, as humans we always tell stories. So what im telling you now, ive told many people before. And this is where it gets even more clever. A Body Worn Camera observes where anna lou is and whos she is speaking to. It can then suggest sentences that are relevant to that situation. So, this is the Computer Vision brain behind our system. The camera got in my right hand here the one the person wears around their neck, so the camera can see what they can see. It can see the person, they can see. It can see the person, they are speaking to, and at the moment it sees me and you can see on the screen it picks up my face to identify whether im a known person, whether im a friend, and if it knows who i am. It takes a gas from the whole environment it can see to say where are we . Are we in a cafe 01 say where are we . Are we in a cafe or at work . This information will then be used to predict the rate sentences i might want to say in this environment with this communication partner. The more anna lou uses it, the more it learns and the faster the system becomes. The system might think were in a museum and im talking to a ive never met before. That might be an opportunity to talk about my work, so it will bring up sentences ive used before to talk about my work so i can access them. Stories are important. Its the essence of being human. We are our its the essence of being human. We are our stories. I know people repeat themselves over and over. They do applause we were also lucky enough to bejoined by the ministerfor Public Finance and digital economy. And the ceo of the Scottish Government backed innovation centre, data lab, gillian doherty. For anyone who doesnt know what datalab do, do you want to tell us, gillian . Its the data centre for Artificial Intelligence. We want to leveraged data better. Youve already had some life changing partnerships, can you tell us more . Weve been working with a local hospital and using Computer Vision technology to help with the radiologists dealing with tumours and regulating cancers. We also worked across Health Awards using data to improve Patient Outcomes and integrate that with clinical treatment. Looking at some of the issues there are in scotland today, high unemployment is of course one of them, how do you perceive technology affecting duck . Obviously there are pros and cons. Technology is definitely going to disrupt the job market as we know it, but on the other hand, we also know the Technology Sector in scotland is constantly looking for new skills and talent. So ourjob is to match the people that are currently looking for work with the businesses and the organisations that are looking for those skills. Jobs will change. There are jobs we do now that didnt exist 20, 30, a0 yea rs do now that didnt exist 20, 30, a0 years ago. And depending on the research, for primary children, up to 60 of Children Starting School andi to 60 of Children Starting School and i will have jobs that dont exist yet. Its hard to get your head around that, but whose grandmother was a Search Engine optimisation specialist, his grandfather was a blogger . Do you really think things are changing . Very, very slowly. Things are changing and we are seeing that in scotland, closing the gender gap is key to what were trying to achieve, but its about going into primary schools and encouraging young women and girls do think they can actually work in the sector and in this area and find their role models. Now, we all know about cars and pollution, right . But how about a vehicle, the more you drive it, the cleaner it makes the air . Well, the heian day nexo claims to do just that. Where you normally have an action, there isa you normally have an action, there is a few well where oxygen and hydrogen combined to create the alleges that he that powers the current charges the battery. But can actually clean the air . Well, we braved the very cold dundee air to put it to the test. So, over here we have robin hales from heian day hyundai. This is gonna demonstrate the hyundai nexo. This contains some nasty stuff that comes out of trucks and cars and stood and stuff. No sniffing that then, when we open the jar. We are going to add that into the system. Will keep an eye on the airas you do the system. Will keep an eye on the air as you do it. You will see it go in. That looks filthy imagine what would happen if you held this piece of white paper up to the exhaust of your petrol cars, its going to get pretty grey. Give its going to get pretty grey. Give ita its going to get pretty grey. Give it a squeeze. Thats quite satisfying, actually. It smells all right, i would satisfying, actually. It smells all right, iwould have satisfying, actually. It smells all right, i would have to say. So we will so the camera. Pretty much there is nothing on there. So thats good, but we can also show you what the car has filtered out of the air. Lets have the clean filter. This is what the filter look like when it went into the car, weve taken this on out of the car now. Can you see the difference . Yeah, so that is what it sucked out of the air in the last two or three minutes. Everything in the jar is now on the filter. Nice. Now there is one other thing that Hydrogen Cars
