00:00
hi everyone you probably know that China
00:03
is not only the most populated country
00:05
in the world but also a country with a
00:06
the very developed economy even though China
00:09
is often associated with cheap goods and
00:11
knockoff products in fact the celestial
00:13
Empire is also a country with the most
00:15
advanced technologies it is regularly
00:23
mentioned in the topmost innovative
00:24
states in the world and many crazy
00:26
inventions can be found only there and
00:28
nowhere else don't believe us then sit
00:31
back and get ready to see the
00:32
mind-blowing technologies of China
00:36
[Music]
00:39
eco-friendly transport today eco
00:43
transport is gaining popularity around
00:45
the world in particular in Europe
00:50
[Music]
00:52
in the Scandinavian countries but China
00:56
is the place where eco-friendly
00:57
transport has really gained momentum by
01:00
the way not so long ago China was one of
01:02
the most polluted countries in the world
01:04
mainly due to the act of mining and
01:06
processing of coal however the pressure
01:08
from the international organizations and
01:10
health issues of the population prompted
01:12
the Chinese government to invest heavily
01:14
in the development of alternative energy
01:16
sources throughout the country China
01:18
builds incredible solar farms where
01:20
electricity is generated in a truly
01:22
the environmentally friendly way today
01:24
the production of electric buses in
01:26
China is a booming business according to
01:28
an American analytical company Bloomberg
01:31
every five weeks 9,500 brand-new
01:34
electric buses are made in the Chinese
01:36
factories for comparison this is the
01:38
an entire fleet of buses operating in
01:40
London one of the largest cities in
01:41
Europe there are about 3 million buses
01:44
in the whole world
01:45
most of them use diesel or gas fuel and
01:47
only about 400,000 of them are electric
01:49
and 99% of them are manufactured in
01:52
China some of the Chinese buses are even
01:54
unmanned by the way in China even
01:57
ordinary students can make eco transport
01:59
so we can certainly say that in terms of
02:01
sustainability China has great potential
02:04
vertical farms in many Asian regions for
02:08
example in the autonomous Chinese
02:10
the territory of Hong Kong the problem of
02:12
overpopulation is very pressing
02:14
real estate is really expensive and
02:16
there is simply no way to accommodate
02:17
everyone who wants to find spacious
02:19
housing it's even more challenging when
02:21
it comes to larger spaces like factories
02:23
or farms you have to admit in cities
02:26
where the problem of insufficient space
02:27
is solved by the construction of huge
02:29
skyscrapers it is difficult to save some
02:32
space for huge farms with fresh herbs
02:34
and vegetables fortunately talented Hong
02:36
Kong designers have found a way out of
02:38
In this situation, they thought what if we
02:40
make the vertical farms just like
02:42
skyscrapers and they did it in the area you
02:45
see on the screen is less than 2,000
02:47
square meters but any farmer will envy
02:49
its productivity about 150 tons of
02:52
vegetables are produced here each year
02:53
there are 10 tiers of crops on the farm
02:55
and special lining allows vegetables to
02:58
ripen in the most comfortable conditions
02:59
another benefit of this production
03:01
the method is sustainability in traditional
03:04
agricultural business
03:05
you often have to cut down trees and use
03:07
pesticides harmful to the ecosystem but
03:09
in the case of vertical farms you don't have
03:11
to do that robotic hotel it seemed that
03:15
the Chinese finally came up with a hotel
03:17
for introverts are you scared of
03:19
spending half an hour talking with the
03:20
the receptionist at check-in I'm confused
03:23
want to maintain anonymity then this is
03:26
the right hotel for your last year at the
03:28
world's first fully robotic hotel with
03:30
nearly 300 rooms opened in Hangzhou
03:32
China to enter the room you
03:34
paid for you do not need a passport or
03:36
keys the face recognition system will do
03:38
everything for you but that's not all if
03:40
you want to turn on the TV turn off the
03:42
light or close the curtains you only
03:44
need to say a voice command and the
03:46
the smart system will fulfill any of your
03:48
wishes another benefit is that in the
03:50
future such technologies can
03:51
significantly reduce the cost of living
03:53
in hotels as hotel owners would not need
03:56
to pay money to the staff
04:03
even the room service in such hotels is
04:06
automated you just give an order and the
04:07
voice assistant passes it to other
04:09
delivery robots medical robots and
04:12
kindergartens being a parent of a
04:15
the preschooler is not an easy job
04:17
young children are curious and they're
04:19
always up to some mischief so the
04:21
the constant presence of a physician in
04:22
kindergartens and schools is a must in
04:29
China they have already found a
04:31
high-tech solution to this issue of
04:33
course it is not yet able to completely
04:35
replace real doctors but it will
04:37
certainly, make life easier for them for
04:39
parents and children the innovation is a
04:41
the small robotic station that runs a three
04:43
second daily check of the child's health
04:45
when he arrives at the kindergarten this
04:47
robot doctor also uses facial
04:48
recognition technology checks the
04:50
condition of the eyes mouth and hands
04:52
and even measures body temperature this
04:55
is especially important for fighting
04:56
various epidemics among children and
04:58
preventing diseases as the symptoms
05:00
cannot always be spotted with the naked
05:02
the eye as of now such robots are operating
05:05
in more than 5000 kindergartens
05:06
throughout China smart rubbish bins
05:09
while the vast majority of countries
05:12
around the world have not even
05:13
introduced the separation of household
05:15
wastes yet China is already one step
05:17
ahead in Beijing, they began to install
05:19
waste bins for separate waste management
05:21
based on face recognition technologies
05:23
the lid of the container opens only if
05:25
you are registered in the system and it
05:27
recognized you what is the purpose of
05:29
this technology well as intended by the
05:31
authors of the invention garbage should
05:33
be thrown away only in special packages
05:35
with a special code tied to the
05:37
messenger of a specific user if it turns
05:39
out that a person threw his waste into
05:41
the wrong container specialist will
05:42
contact him to provide explanations on
05:44
the proper use of smart containers
05:50
[Applause]
05:53
unfortunately not all Chinese follow the
05:56
instructions for example they do not use
05:58
special packages but volunteers from eco
06:01
organizations believe that this is only
06:02
a matter of time and the situation is
06:04
getting better every year
06:06
robotic restaurant in China robots are
06:10
already used in the restaurant business
06:12
of course, they have not yet learned how
06:13
to cook better than people but they can
06:15
work as waiters during the busiest hours
06:17
and hide a low restaurant in Beijing
06:19
people sometimes have to help the robots
06:21
but basically all the work of delivering
06:23
dishes from the kitchen to the tables is
06:25
carried out by smart machines
06:28
[Music]
06:35
the Chinese restaurant chain developed
06:37
this innovation together with the
06:39
Japanese corporation Panasonic robots
06:41
not only accept and deliver orders but
06:43
even put simple dishes on a plate
06:45
visitors can cook soup to their taste
06:47
using traditional brassieres mounted on
06:49
the table in the ingredients delivered
06:51
by the robot by the way if you get in
06:53
the way of a robot hurrying to deliver
06:54
an order it will say to you please let
06:56
I pass you can take a picture with me
06:58
after my shift ends the initial
07:04
investment in the restaurant was 20
07:06
million US dollars
07:07
hi-de-ho plans to open robotic
07:09
restaurants not only in China but also
07:11
abroad automated parking parking
07:15
especially in a big city is always a
07:17
the problem any resident of a large
07:19
metropolis will agree with this today
07:21
smart technologies can help you with
07:23
that in the Chinese city of Chongqing
07:25
you can find fully automated parking
07:27
lots the driver only needs to access the
07:30
a system using the card leaves his car on a
07:31
the special platform which then parks the
07:33
car in the most ergonomic way thanks to
07:36
this invention the number of parking
07:37
spaces have increased by almost 70
07:39
percent compared to the typical parking
07:41
the reason is simply a smart system
07:43
arranges cars more ergonomically than a
07:45
person and it does not have to keep
07:47
distances between cars to open the doors
07:49
moreover, the cars are parked at a
07:51
The 30-degree angle saves additional
07:53
space robotic surgeons have you ever
07:57
thought how hard it is to be a surgeon
07:59
they sometimes have to stand in the
08:00
operating room for 10 hours straight
08:02
without food and water after exhausting
08:04
night shifts ignoring any life
08:06
circumstances and difficulties this
08:08
the invention created by the Chinese Tsing
08:10
Hua university can revolutionize this
08:12
field of medicine so far these robots
08:15
have not operated on real people but
08:17
their potential is mind-blowing a few
08:19
months ago Chinese doctors successfully
08:21
performed a test operation on a bone
08:23
model using one of them the experiment
08:25
was carried out in a hospital and Tong
08:27
Zhong City and the robot was controlled
08:29
by specialists remotely from Beijing the
08:32
the robot managed to fix the broken bone in
08:34
20 minutes similar experiments were also
08:36
carried out during remote surgery on the
08:38
liver of an animal it's unlikely robots
08:40
will learn how to perform complex
08:42
operations on the heart or brain in the
08:44
near few
08:44
however experts from China University
08:46
claimed that with the help of machine
08:48
learning technologies these smart robots
08:50
will be able to analyze the behavior of
08:52
surgeons based on this information
08:54
machines will be able to help them
08:56
inside the operating room as well as do
09:03
some work for their rooms for relaxation
09:07
who would say no to a half-hour sleep
09:09
after lunch at work probably no one and
09:11
businessmen from large cities would
09:13
agree with that their job includes
09:15
constant meetings with clients call in
09:17
the middle of the night endless business
09:19
trips how can one not lose his mind
09:21
[Music]
09:24
[Applause]
09:26
thinking how to make life easier for
09:28
business people who spend most of the
09:30
day in a huge city Hong Kong startups
09:32
came up with an unusual invention this
09:34
is especially relevant for Hong Kong as
09:37
it is believed to be the world's worst
09:38
city in terms of light pollution this
09:40
means that the night sky in Hong Kong is
09:42
a thousand times brighter compared to
09:44
international standards due to the huge
09:46
amount of street lighting signage and
09:48
spotlights they came up with rooms for
09:50
sleeping located in the heart of the
09:52
city
09:52
you can rent this space for a very short
09:54
time nobody will bother you here and the
09:56
staff will turn on relaxing music and
09:58
offer you aromatic coffee after you wake
10:00
up company's CEO David Lau says the idea
10:03
of creating sleeping rooms came to him
10:05
unexpectedly once he read in the media
10:07
that a Hong Kong residents working day
10:08
is longer than anywhere else than he
10:10
realized that with such a schedule it is
10:13
vital for people to have space to
10:14
relax
10:17
[Music]
10:22
well this is it for today and see you
10:25
soon
