Paraliziran udarom, Henry Evans koristi robot za telekonferenciju kako bi govorio i demostrirao kako nova prilagodena i pesonalizovana robotika zvana Roboti za covjecanstvo, mu pomaze da zivi. Demonstrira malog okretnog kvadrokopter drona, kojeg je kreirao tim na celu sa Chad Jenkins-om, koji mu pruza mogucnost da se krece kroz prostor--da ponovo razgleda vrt, seta kampusom...

01:54
We were looking forward to rebuilding it,
29

Radovali smo se preuredenju kuce,
01:57
but eight months after we moved in,

Preko noci sam postao nijemi kvadriplegicar
02:09
at the ripe old age of 40.
33
117150

sa 40 godina duboke starosti.
02:12
It took me several years,
34
120493
2153
Trebalo mi je nekoliko godina,
02:14
but with the help of an incredibly supportive family,
35
122646
3569
ali uz pomoc i poporu nevjerovatne porodice,
02:18
I finally decided life was still worth living.
36
126215
4859
konacno sam odlucio da je zivot jos uvijek vrijedan zivljenja.
02:23
I became fascinated with using technology

One day, I was lying in bed watching CNN,
49
167754
3305
Jednog dana sam iz kreveta gledao CNN,
03:03
when I was amazed by Professor Charlie Kemp
50
171059

Steve Cousins iz Willow Garage
03:15
and we formed the Robots for Humanity project.
54
183287
4852
smo formirali projekat Roboti za covjecanstvo.
03:20
For about two years, Robots for Humanity
55
188139
2901
U dvije godine Roboti za covjecanstvo
03:23
developed ways for me to use the PR2
56
191040
2381
su razvili nacine za mene da koristim PR2
03:25
as my body surrogate.
57
193421
3380
kao svog tjelesnog surogata.
03:28
I shaved myself for the first time in 10 years.
58
196801
5093
Po prvi puta sam se obrija u 10 godina.
03:33
From my home in California,
59
201894
1774
Iz svoje Kalifornijske kuce
03:35
I shaved Charlie in Atlanta. (Laughter)
60
203668
3979
sam obrijao Charlie-ja u Atlanti. (Smijeh)
03:39
I handed out Halloween candy.
61
207647
4417
Dijeli sam Halloween slatkise.
03:44
I opened my refrigerator on my own.
62
212064
6027
Samostalno sam otvorio frizider.
03:50
I began doing tasks around the house.
63
218091
4072
Poceo sam obavljati poslove po kuci.
03:54
I saw new and previously unthinkable possibilities
64
222163
3568
Uvidjeo sam nove nezamislive mogucnosti
03:57
to live and contribute,
65
225731
2665
kako da zivim i doprinesem,
04:00
both for myself and others in my circumstance.
66
228396
4626
sebi i drugima u mojoj situaciji.
04:05
All of us have disabilities in one form or another.
67
233022
4608
Svi mi posjedujemo invalidnosti u nekoj formi.,
04:09
For example, if either of us
wants to go 60 miles an hour,
wants to go 60 miles an hour,
68
237630
5426
Na primjer, ako netko zeli ici 60 milja na sat,
04:15
both of us will need an assistive device called a car.
69
243056
5344
trebat ce mu pomocni uredaj koji zovemo auto.
04:20
Your disability doesn't make you
any less of a person,
any less of a person,
70
248400
3316
Vasa invalidnost vas ne cini manjom osobom
04:23
and neither does mine.
71
251716
2424
a tako ni mene moja.
04:26
By the way, check out my sweet ride. (Laughter)
72
254140
4773
Usput, pogledajte moje prevozno sredstvo. (Smijeh)
04:30
Since birth, we have both suffered from the inability
73
258913
2897
Od rodenja svi mi patimo odnesposobnosti
04:33
to fly on our own.
74
261810
2944
da samostalno letimo.
04:36
Last year, Kaijen Hsiao of Willow Garage
75
264754
4110
Prosle godine, Kaijen Hsiao iz Willow Garage
04:40
connected with me Chad Jenkins.
76
268864
2572
me je spojio sa Chad Jenkins-om.
04:43
Chad showed me how easy it is
77
271436
2473
Chad mi je pokazao kako je lako
04:45
to purchase and fly aerial drones.
78
273909
3656
kupiti i upravljati vazdusnim dronom.
04:49
It was then I realized that I could also use
79
277565
2588
Tada sam shvatio da bih mogao koristiti
04:52
an aerial drone to expand the worlds
80
280153
2228
vazdusni dron kako bih prosirio svijet
04:54
of bedridden people through flight,
81
282381
3138
ljudi prikovanih za krevet sa letenjem,
04:57
giving a sense of movement and control
82
285519
2923
dajuci im osjecaj kretanja i kontrole
05:00
that is incredible.
83
288442
3077
a to je nevjerovatan osjecaj.
05:03
Using a mouse cursor I control with my head,
84
291519
2877
Pomocu misa kojeg pokrecem glavom,
05:06
these web interfaces allow me
85
294396
1889
ovi web interfejsi mi omogucavaju
05:08
to see video from the robot
86
296285
1610
da gledam video sa robota
05:09
and send control commands
87
297895
1633
i dajem komande
05:11
by pressing buttons in a web browser.
88
299528
3727
pritiskajuci opcije u web pretrazivacu.
05:15
With a little practice, I became
good enough with this interface
good enough with this interface
89
303255
3909
Uz malo prakse sam postao
dovoljno dobar sa interfejsom
dovoljno dobar sa interfejsom
05:19
to drive around my home on my own.
90
307164
3677
da ga samostalno upravljam po kuci.
05:25
I could look around our garden
91
313884
2708
Pogao sam da razgledam vrt
05:28
and see the grapes we are growing.
92
316592
4110
i pogledam grozde koje uzgajam.
05:32
I inspected the solar panels on our roof. (Laughter)
93
320702
6020
Pregledao sam solarne panele na krovu. (Smijeh)
05:38
One of my challenges as a pilot is to land the drone
94
326722
2999
Jedan od izazova za mene pilota je da sletim
05:41
on our basketball hoop.
95
329721
3421
sa dronom na kosarkaski kos.
05:47
I went even further by seeing if I could use
96
335257
2431
Otisao sam i dalje, koristeci monitor
05:49
a head-mounted display, the Oculus Rift,
97
337688
3023
pricvrscen na glavu, Oculuc Rift,
05:52
as modified by Fighting Walrus,
98
340711
2048
kojeg je modificirao Fighting Walrus,
05:54
to have an immersive experience
99
342759
1647
kako bih dozivio potpuno iskustvo
05:56
controlling the drone.
100
344406
3955
u kontroli drona.
06:00
With Chad's group at Brown,
101
348361
1927
Sa Chad-ovom grupom na Brown univerzitetu,
06:02
I regularly fly drones around his lab
102
350288
2473
redovno letim sa dronom po njegovom laboratoriju
06:04
several times a week,
from my home 3,000 miles away.

nekoliko puta sedmicno,
iz moga doma udaljenog 3,000 milja.
iz moga doma udaljenog 3,000 milja.
06:10
All work and no fun makes for a dull quadriplegic,
104
358517
3525
Samo rad bez zabave zatupljuje kvadriplegicara,
06:14
so we also find time to play friendly games
105
362042
3030
tako da nedemo i vremena da igramo
06:17
of robot soccer. (Laughter)
106
365072
3717
robotski futbal. (Smijeh)
06:20
I never thought I would be able to casually
107
368789
2390
Nisam mogao pomisliti da cu biti u stanju
06:23
move around a campus like Brown on my own.
108
371179
4972
da se samostalno krecem po kampusu Brown univerziteta.
06:28
I just wish I could afford the tuition. (Laughter)
109
376151
4342
Kad bih si jos mogao priustiti skolarinu. (Smijeh)
06:36
Chad Jenkins: Henry, all joking aside,
110
384505
2448
Chad Jenkins: Henry, salu na stranu,
06:38
I bet all of these people here
111
386953
2189
kladim se da bi svi ovi ljudi ovdje
06:41
would love to see you fly this drone
112
389142
2206
voljeli da te vide kako upravljas ovim dronom
06:43
from your bed in California 3,000 miles away.
113
391348
3165
iz svog kreveta u Kaliforniji, udaljenog 3,000 milja.
06:46
(Applause)
114
394513
4857
(Aplauz)
06:57
Okay, Henry, have you been to D.C. lately?
115
405540
3790
Ok, Henry, da li si skoro bio u glavnom gradu?
07:01
(Laughter)
116
409330
3508
(Smijeh)
07:04
Are you excited to be at TEDxMidAtlantic?
117
412838
3509
Da li si uzbuden sto si na TEDxMidAtlantic?
07:08
(Laughter) (Applause)
118
416347
4337
(Smijeh) (Aplauz)
07:15
Can you show us how excited you are?
119
423901
2930
Mozes li nam pokazati koliko si uzbuden?
07:18
(Laughter)
120
426831
3916
(Smijeh)
07:23
All right, big finish.
121
431113
1651
A sada veliki finis.
07:24
Can you show us how good of a pilot you are?
122
432764
3672
Pokazi nam svoje pilotske vjestine.
07:29
(Applause)
123
437818
4627
(Aplauz)
07:34
All right, we still have a little ways to go with that,
124
442468
2486
Dobro, ovo moramo jos malo uvjezbati,
07:36
but I think it shows the promise.
125
444954
2512
ali mislim da obecava.
07:39
What makes Henry's story amazing
126
447466
2636
Ono sto cini Henrijevu pricu zapanjujucom
07:42
is it's about understanding Henry's needs,
127
450102
3128
je u vezi sa shvatanjem Henrijevih potreba,
07:45
understanding what people in Henry's situation
128
453230
2994
razumijevanjem sta ljudi u Henrijevoj situaciji
07:48
need from technology,
129
456224
1909
trebaju od tehnologije,
07:50
and then also understanding
130
458133
1657
kao i razumjevanje
07:51
what advanced technology can provide,
131
459790
2378
sta napredne tehnologije mogu pruziti,
07:54
and then bringing those two things together
132
462168
2073
a zatim spojiti te dvije stvari
07:56
for use in a wise and responsible way.
133
464241
3242
za pametnu i odgovornu upotrebu.
07:59
What we're trying to do is democratize robotics,
134
467483
2110
Mi pokusavamo demokratizovati robote
08:01
so that anybody can be a part of this.
135

moci da nadete bolje nacine da
08:22
to provide movement for the disabled,
143

omogucite nepokretnima da se krecu
08:24
to provide care for our aging population,
144
492588
2722
da obezbjedite brigu sa populaciju koja stari
08:27
to help better educate our children,
145

1984
da bolje educirate djecu,
08:29
to think about what the new types

da razmislite o kakve bi mogli biti
08:31
of middle class jobs could be for the future,

vrste novi poslovi u buducnosti,
08:34
to both monitor and protect our environment,
148
502200
2603
da se nadgleda i stiti okolis,
08:36
and to explore the universe.
149
504803

i da se istrazuje svemir.
08:38
Back to you, Henry.
150

A sada ponovo do tebe, Henry.
08:42
HE: Thank you, Chad.

Henry: Hvala, Chad.
08:45
With this drone setup, we show the potential
152
513599
2822
Sa ovakvom postavkom drona pokazali smo potencijal
08:48
for bedridden people to once again be able
153
516421
2466
koji se pruza ljudima prikovanim za postelju
08:50
to explore the outside world,
154
518887
2671
da ponovo istrazuju vanjski svijet,
08:53
and robotics will eventually provide
155
521558
2377
a robotika ce na kraju pruziti
08:55
a level playing field
156
523935
1343
igraliste
08:57
where one is only limited by their mental acuity
157
525278
2703
gdje cemo biti ograniceni samo svojom vlastitom mentalnom ostrinom
08:59
and imagination,
158
527981
2245
i mastom,
09:02
where the disabled are able to perform
159
530226
2159
gdje su nepokretni u stanju da izvrsavaju
09:04
the same activities as everyone else,
160
532385
2695
iste aktivnosti kao i svi drugi,
09:07
and perhaps better,
161
535080
2902
a mozda i bolje,
09:09
and technology will even allow us to provide
162
537982
2640
a tehnologija ce pruziti izlaz
09:12
an outlet for many people who are presently
163
540622
2161
za mnoge ljude koji se trenutno smatraju
09:14
considered vegetables.
164
542783
2428
biljkama.
09:17
One hundred years ago,
165
545211
2007
Prije stotinu godina,
09:19
I would have been treated like a vegetable.
166
547218
3351
ja bih bio tretiran samo kao biljka.
09:22
Actually, that's not true.
167
550569
2430
Ustvari to nije tacno,
09:24
I would have died.
168
552999
2195
Umro bih.
09:27
It is up to us, all of us, to decide how
169
555194
2822
Na nama je, na svima nama, da odlucimo
09:30
robotics will be used, for good or for evil,
170
558016
3365
kako cemo koristiti robote, za dobro ili zlo,
09:33
for simply replacing people
171
561381
1625
da li da jednostavno zamjene ljude
09:35
or for making people better,
172
563006
1637
ili da ih ucine boljim,
09:36
for allowing us to do and enjoy more.
173
564643
3940
da nam omoguce da vise cinimo i uzivamo.
09:40
Our goal for robotics is to
unlock everyone's mental power
unlock everyone's mental power
174
568583
3626
Nas gol za robotiku je
da otkljuca mentalnu snagu svih nas
da otkljuca mentalnu snagu svih nas
09:44
by making the world more physically accessible
175
572209
2669
cineci svijet fizicki dostupnim
09:46
to people such as myself and others like me
176
574878
2543
ljudima poput mene i drugih slicnih meni
09:49
around the globe.
177

sirom svijeta.
09:51
With the help of people like you,
178
579603
1883
Uz pomoc ljudi poput vas,
09:53
we can make this dream a reality.
179

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Henry Evans - Robotics activistIn 2003, Henry Evans became quadriplegic and mute after a stroke-like attack. Now, working with Robots for Humanity, he's a pioneer in adaptive robotic tech to help him, and other disabled people like him, navigate the world.
Why you should listen
At age 40, Henry Evans was left mute and quadriplegic after a stroke-like attack caused by a hidden birth defect. Years of therapy helped him learn to move his head and use a finger -- which allows him to use a head-tracking device to communicate with a computer using experimental interfaces.
Now, Evans is a frequent and enthusiastic collaborator with robotics teams who are developing tools to help the severely disabled navigate their lives. He collaborates with Georgia Tech professor Charlie Kemp on using the Willow Garage PR2 robot as a surrogate, as well as Chad Jenkins' RLAB at Brown on quadrotors for expanding range of motion.
As the Willow Garage blog post says: "Every day, people take for granted the simple act of scratching an itch. In Henry's case, 2-3 times every hour of every day he gets an itch he can't scratch. With the aid of a PR2, Henry was able to scratch an itch for himself for the first time in 10 years."
