Japanese Robot Invasion

Robots in Japan have entered the next stage! From science fiction to THEY'RE HERE right now standing next to you!
Soon, everyday life will have some kind of robot in it. Let's take a look at what's here right now and what's coming in 2015 and beyond.
In this episode, John Daub and Joseph Tame explore the world of Robots at the Japan Robot Week 2014 Expo at Tokyo Big Sight.
John also goes to Softbank's PEPPER TECH FEST to see the latest humanoid robot built with consumer generated software.
Highlights in this episode:
[Japan Robot Week]
★ Robotic Exoskeletons called "Muscle Suits"
★ The Japanese government's disaster relief robots
★ Robotic animals used for hospital patients
★ Robot taking orders at a cafe, making coffee and serving it
★ Robots that keep you company when you're lonely
[Pepper Tech Fest]
★ Softbank's PEPPER robot and its consumer software IN THE WILD
★ Albederan's NAO robot doing techno dancing
We already interact with robots in one way or another in our daily lives, but ONLY in JAPAN are robots so accepted in everyday culture. Japan is the perfect place to be the epicenter of the robot culture boom!
Will robots take over the world? (Who knows?!)
But they are here now and they are only going to become more important in our lives. We explore the reasons why:
Japan has a declining birth rate and growing elderly population.
Japan also has a lot of natural disaster: typhoons, volcano eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami ...
Robots are the key to keeping businesses running when labor shortages exist and assisting when disaster strikes as well as keeping us safe before and after.
They are also important for the elderly who will need more support. Japan has stepped up its efforts.
Hope you enjoy the report!

[@camawam]

Ikr its so cute

[@johngoodman5976]

That was the last thing Okidoki_Loki ever said before his 💖 went 💔 RIP Okidoki_Loki Whocares-2018 AD "He is remembered for... Being memorable"

[@munchkincharms1672]

John, you should have your own international tv show! I would watch it :D I really love all of your videos! I wish there were Paros everywhere :P

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

That would be ... AWESOME!! I love making the shows even if it is KZbin. With KZbin EVERYONE can watch it so it's really cool to have this place to share. Paro!!! That little seal is amazing :) Thanks MunchkinCharms -John

[@sumaiyashaikh5220]

Japan can also be called as 'Land of robots'

[@ChocoboBlaze]

It's amazing how far Japan has come with their technology.

[@claycharms4you762]

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you Glambino It would be great if you visited and shared your experiences with us! Japan is really opening up to visitors like never before and it will be so interesting how the country changes between now and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. I'm already planning the next video shoot!! More to come :) -john

[@Cocofashioninc22]

Thank you for making these awesome videos. Learning something new everyday..:),

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

You're welcome XxUFC FAN I really appreciate the feedback!! -John

[@SIG442]

Always wanted a Nao robot, those things are awesome!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

+SIG442 Me too!! Then I saw the price tag ... dream demolished. -john

[@SIG442]

ONLY in JAPAN Yeah, the price tags are rather to much. Some start even around a small car!

[@theonlyqueenitsme]

I Love All your Video.its so Cool

[@PB33F]

YayayYayay ive been waiting for your vids!!! Thankyou!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

You're welcome. Thank YOU Tangy Orange more videos to come :) -John

[@Lillpixeychic]

Amazing!!

[@correo330]

Nice tech!!! I love your channel man!!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thanks Francisco Romero really appreciate it! -John

[@njm92495]

Whoa I recognize that building. I think I got too excited to see the resemblance anime vs irl. It was in an anime called Denki Gai a bunch for sensei's manga viewing

[@tmntfistbump]

Your videos are awesome! They are perfect for every age and I use them in my classroom as a teacher

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Patrick Logan That's really great to hear, Patrick! The show is intended for all ages. One viewer said his family sits down on the couch and watches it -- which is incredible to just hear that families watch KZbin together! More than anything else, knowing the content created is being watched and enjoyed beings the most satisfaction to me. Simply makes me feel good :) Thank you so much!! -John

[@Gloraxi]

6:06 oh man that awkward handshake there buddy on the right. Not gonna lie it made me laugh pretty hard seeing that

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Gloraxi hahaha!! I just noticed that :P good one! -John

[@stephanieraysiderayside27]

awesome!!!

[@RSguideX]

I want paro lol so cute

[@Bryanccc3]

LOL That seal robot was just like the one from The Simpsons where Bart and Martin created that same robot for the elderly and it turned evil.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Haha!! I remember that! I think there is a lot of skepticism in the west about robots turning bad / SKYNET taking over and destroying humanity. Are we naive to think we co co-exist with machine and AI? Who knows?!?! -John

[@XxTheGrandMasterxX]

More evidence to back up why Japan is an awesome country.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Ciel Phantomhive I second that! -John

[@Masalachaii]

ciel :O wat are u going here dont u have stuff to do for the queen or whatever

[@MrWalker1000]

germany has robots too why are you all such weebs.

[@northwest2647]

ONLY in JAPAN These Japanese need to start phucking each other, low birth rate! Are they going to import mexicans??

[@SunnyWu]

I saw those seals at CES Vegas 2015. They are so cute!

[@dvddpr]

We're getting closer to skynet

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Yes, we could be. Things are moving pretty fast! -John

[@youtuberpov]

great video.... still can't wait for a real life working gundam :D

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

weeiiee14 Woah!! I'd love to "drive" the big GUNDAM robot in front of Odaiba's shopping mall (I put some video at the start of my Honda Robot show last month). Maybe we are getting closer to that really happening! -John

[@SuperCatman97]

I want to go to Japan Sooooooooooo bad!

1:45 It's R.O.B THE ROBOT!! :O

[@caribfacesassi3544]

Awesome

[@fridamartha]

*oh myy I want that Cute Paro!!!XD*

[@astroboy3507]

Hey John very interesting and robots are the way of the future totally !!!!!!!! I enjoyed the machine that can roll up a building and check on it's strengths !!!!!! Cool !!!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

It's very cool! We grew up with the science fiction of robots living with human, but it's actually here! "Robots" don't have to actually look like humans (humanoids) to be a robot and we are actually surrounded by them now, many of them already hooked to the internet. It's cool! I can't imagine what the next 10 years will look like, but we got an idea of it with this video. Thanks always for watching and supporting the show, astroboy3507 really appreciate it! -John

[@freewithads]

that electric pacify is epic.lol

[@trevorrandom]

I love Robots 🤖 ☺ ♥ 🇯🇵

[@christawiswesser7056]

that looks cool :-)

[@deepestblue987]

When John started dancing I was like (o_o)

[@Tagalized]

[@Angie2343]

Watson is Pepper's mentor, I take it. ASIMO and Pepper should become friends!

[@premingergang1099]

:O that seal is just adorable

[@SoloTravelBlog]

Those are some buckwild robots right there

[@faguolong]

For information Nao was French but has been bought by SoftBank Robotics :)

[@kawaiikurun2088]

it's really cool but scary too

[@Hisoka418]

that is great

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you!! -John

[@leot824]

日本の工場ロボットもすごいよな

[@thepowerstation2702]

"l'll be back" 👍 The Terminator

[@Awesome_Aasim]

7:57 I have seen this robot in Valley Fair Mall San Jose, CA

[@akashmanoj9431]

Hello! I'm gonna visit Japan next month. I am tech crazy! Could you suggest me Science and tech fairs and others being conducted next month (October)

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Robi sounds like an adorable anime character.....I want one!

[@fatinhannani]

I’ve seen it before. It turns out that you need to buy its magazine where every series will give you a part of the robot and you need to build it all yourself. I think 🤔 if I’m not mistaken

[@mxkenzi3590]

Where can you get the little seal its so cute

[@darwinb718]

Time stamp exoskeleton 5:26

[@Kit_Bear]

All well and good I dare say but where is my David?

[@hirameberhardt8643]

Apron on a robot, awesome

[@MarcoRuschkowski]

Armtron.. lol I had that thing

[@klofisch]

What happened to the old channel?

[@MoonchildTWXZG3000]

I Love ªLL robotic thing

[@ultromegus3134]

Disclaimer: No seals robot is harm during this video

[@Usmodlover]

2 people were "offended" by your mention of the rising sun. x-(

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

To the offended: NIPPON or NIHON (日本) which is Japanese for "Japan" literally means "sun's origin" or translated as "land of the rising sun". The sun does come up at 04:15 in the summer so it is really true. It's also at the start of the international date line in the Pacific. I am not really sure why anyone would be offended. Thanks for the comment! -John

[@Usmodlover]

WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN Well some seem to be, so they can claim victim or something, :-/

[@leabrocha]

Will these robots come to uruguay?

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

That would be cool! I hope it does, Brochadoleandro -John

[@hamedmuqeem4853]

🤩

[@CandelitaLeiva]

en realidad pepper se presentó en an las sin as bajas de Japón saludando estilo la pelicula ip

[@moon-rvr]

I will be waitimg for a Two headed four armed Pepper so I can name her Chernobyl Chan and help me relax

[@Ieu6054]

what if japan had a show called ONLY in AMERICA?

[@Awesome_Aasim]

4:33 this is called an ROV.

[@quakercrackers4262]

Soo, will there be a santa bot?

[@Angie2343]

It'll be perfect for Santa to have some extra help.

[@Maarten8867]

Sure, just watch futurama! :D

[@fenrir-art4742]

Digimon had a fight there too.

"robots shouldnt be feared" unless its a Cylon

[@roygamertv_yt2948]

Japan 🇯🇵

[@sunnyblue9413]

When will they come

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

They are already HERE!! Robots come in all shapes and sizes. They are not just human looking (humanoid) but machines that help us in everyday life. Just this week a store in the USA started using robots to help customers (LOEW'S). More and more will be coming in the next year. Are you ready? -John

[@ClubCrazyify]

Robots!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Mister Roboto, Domo Arigato! -John

[@dankmeme8849]

I feel sad for the people who use these comforting robots.They have no friends

[@trevorjsweatsweat4775]

that is real

[@IAmIntelligence]

Japan should have a Natural Living Resource Based Economy implemented by now; because of all their Robotic Technology. Also they should develop a Nuclear Power Plant, using Thorium.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

I had to Google parts of your post. Resource Based Economy means "a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude." I think that's not going to happen in the next 20 years but who knows, right? Thorium is interesting. I didn't know much about it before your post. I see India is developing this use for power so it's something we should keep an eye on. Thanks for the post, IAmIntelligence -John

[@IAmIntelligence]

Your Welcome.

[@humanbeing2722]

Just thinking how would Japan be after 100 years?

[@ScienceDiscoverer]

Only robots no ppl?

[@mviv6339]

Do they obey the 3 laws of robotics ?

[@kaylentan9537]

Tecnology is making us lazier

[@VoidHalo]

I think I'd feel even worse about myself if all I had to do on a Friday night was talk to a little robot. At least, I would if I were a normal person who cared about such things. Frankly I just spend my Friday nights doing the same thing I do every night. Staring at the toilet and hope a golden bee flies out to grant me 3 wishes. A man can dream, right?

[@user-mm7ms5rn2q]

What do you think about Japan?

[@Sophialovesmusic-mo9oz]

That guy talking about that robots are good well if you share how to make a robot with a bad person then they could program it to be bad behavior

[@Chronos146]

all you need now is a moving gundan

[@johngoodman5976]

"Comedians are making applications on a robot!!!" Uh lady, it's not THAT exciting... 😕😆

[@hannamills1985]

I want to seal forget a Furby

[@reyzuna]

let's support until they show us one Gundam Mobile Suit working perfectly ready to be delivered on a mission :D

[@deamy5186]

[@gewglesux]

There's a Twilight Zone about this..... it's not pleasant..

[@haritharady6173]

The third robot 😴looks creepy

[@tomluna1201]

declining birth rate?

[@johngoodman5976]

Tom Luna Rather the desire for robot warfare rather than to keep sending live flesh as sociopathic nations do.

[@jikes100]

what if the matrix happens

[@sevennasmr]

the paro creating is stupid when you could have a pet

[@elijrivera522]

Japan: Were to lazy to do stuff, will let the robots do it Robot: Japan is the laziest country, lets get them to work

[@freewithads]

we are entering an era where we want to do more with less and i think robot is the solution.

[@olepss]

First

[@redranger9046]

WHO is watching this in 2017?

[@thatonezeldafan5275]

They stole the seal idea from simpsons

[@oa2is100]

Detroit become human

[@lucar5181]

Their is so cute robots and very ugly robots I like the cute ones! How agrees

[@lucar5181]

Who agrees

[@lucar5181]

Never mind some are super creepy like the talking robots which are about to give me nightmares

[@KAY-pv9bu]

Wow! America's really behind....😅

[@AshleyReinhardt]

Why they made a robotic seal for lonely people when cats/dogs already exist?

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Good question Ashley Reinhardt I thought the same thing. These are my notes from the research: old people can not always move a lot. Not everyone can walk a dog and feed a cat. Also, people sick with mental problems can not care for a real pet. In hospitals, they don't allow pets. (I wish they did!) Living pets always have feelings and they can also feel lonely -- we can't love them when they're convenient for us. PARO is a convenient pet :) I hope that helps. -John

[@alexanderleatherman]

The need to walk the dog or clean the litter box, i will admit, is a turn off for many. the robot philosophy could probably dedicate a lot to the elimination of bodily functions.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Alexander Leatherman spot on!
