You only get one chance
to make a first impression,
0
760
2656
Só temos uma chance para causar
uma primeira impressão,
00:15
and that's true if you're a robot
as well as if you're a person.
1
3440
3176
e isso vale se você é
um robô ou uma pessoa.
00:18
The first time that I met
one of these robots
2
6640
3016
A primeira vez que conheci um desses robôs
00:21
was at a place
called Willow Garage in 2008.
3
9680
2896
foi em Willow Garage, em 2008.
00:24
When I went to visit there,
my host walked me into the building
4
12600
3016
Na minha visita, meu anfitrião
acompanhou-me no edifício,
00:27
and we met this little guy.
5
15640
1576
e encontramos este carinha.
00:29
He was rolling into the hallway,
6
17240
1656
Ele estava andando pelo saguão;
00:30
came up to me, sat there,
7
18920
1816
aproximou-se de mim,
me encarou sem expressão;
00:32
stared blankly past me,
8
20760
2256
00:35
did nothing for a while,
9
23040
1656
não fez nada por um tempo;
00:36
rapidly spun his head around 180 degrees
10
24720
1936
girou rapidamente a cabeça
cerca de 180 graus e fugiu.
00:38
and then ran away.
11
26680
1536
00:40
And that was not a great first impression.
12
28240
2176
Não foi uma primeira impressão muito boa.
00:42
The thing that I learned
about robots that day
13
30440
2176
Naquele dia, aprendi que os robôs
00:44
is that they kind of do their own thing,
14
32640
2176
agem sem uma total consciência de nós.
00:46
and they're not totally aware of us.
15
34840
2136
00:49
And I think as we're experimenting
with these possible robot futures,
16
37000
3239
Creio que, conforme passamos
por esses possíveis futuros com robôs,
00:52
we actually end up learning
a lot more about ourselves
17
40263
2673
aprendemos muito mais sobre nós mesmos
do que apenas sobre essas máquinas.
00:54
as opposed to just these machines.
18
42960
1656
00:56
And what I learned that day
19
44640
1336
Aprendi que tinha muitas expectativas
para esse amiguinho.
00:58
was that I had pretty high
expectations for this little dude.
20
46000
3416
01:01
He was not only supposed to be able
to navigate the physical world,
21
49440
3176
Ele não só deveria ser capaz
de navegar no mundo físico,
01:04
but also be able
to navigate my social world --
22
52640
2656
mas também em meu mundo social.
01:07
he's in my space; it's a personal robot.
23
55320
2176
Ele está em meu espaço; é um robô pessoal.
01:09
wWhy didn't it understand me?
24
57520
2016
Por que não me entendia?
01:11
My host explained to me,
25
59560
1256
Meu anfitrião me explicou:
01:12
"Well, the robot is trying
to get from point A to point B,
26
60840
3176
"O robô está tentando ir do ponto A ao B.
01:16
and you were an obstacle in his way,
27
64040
1776
Como você estava no caminho,
ele teve que replanejá-lo,
01:17
so he had to replan his path,
28
65840
2016
01:19
figure out where to go,
29
67880
1256
descobrir para onde ir,
e chegar lá de outra maneira",
01:21
and then get there some other way,"
30
69160
1696
o que não foi muito eficiente.
01:22
which was actually
not a very efficient thing to do.
31
70880
2456
Se ele soubesse que eu era
uma pessoa e não uma cadeira,
01:25
If that robot had figured out
that I was a person, not a chair,
32
73360
3256
01:28
and that I was willing
to get out of its way
33
76640
2096
e que eu sairia do caminho
se ele tentasse chegar a algum lugar,
01:30
if it was trying to get somewhere,
34
78760
1656
a tarefa dele teria sido mais eficiente
01:32
then it actually
would have been more efficient
35
80440
2216
01:34
at getting its job done
36
82680
1256
se tivesse notado que eu era humana
01:35
if it had bothered
to notice that I was a human
37
83960
2216
e tinha capacidades diferentes
de uma cadeira ou uma parede.
01:38
and that I have different affordances
than things like chairs and walls do.
38
86200
3576
Costumamos achar que robôs
são seres do espaço, do futuro
01:41
You know, we tend to think of these robots
as being from outer space
39
89800
3216
01:45
and from the future
and from science fiction,
40
93040
2136
ou da ficção científica.
Isso pode ser verdade,
01:47
and while that could be true,
41
95200
1416
mas os robôs estão aqui hoje,
01:48
I'd actually like to argue
that robots are here today,
42
96640
2656
01:51
and they live and work
amongst us right now.
43
99320
2776
vivem e trabalham entre nós agora mesmo.
01:54
These are two robots that live in my home.
44
102120
2856
Estes dois robôs trabalham em minha casa:
01:57
They vacuum the floors
and they cut the grass
45
105000
2496
aspiram o chão e cortam a grama todo dia,
01:59
every single day,
46
107520
1216
02:00
which is more than I would do
if I actually had time to do these tasks,
47
108760
3376
o que é muito mais do que eu faria
se tivesse tempo para isso,
e provavelmente fazem melhor do que eu.
02:04
and they probably
do it better than I would, too.
48
112160
2336
Este aqui cuida do meu gatinho:
02:06
This one actually takes care of my kitty.
49
114520
2496
02:09
Every single time
he uses the box, it cleans it,
50
117040
2576
quando ele usa a caixa, o robô a limpa,
e é algo que não quero fazer.
02:11
which is not something I'm willing to do,
51
119640
1976
Ele facilita a vida do gato e a minha.
02:13
and it actually makes
his life better as well as mine.
52
121640
2576
Enquanto os chamamos de produtos:
02:16
And while we call these robot products --
53
124240
2416
02:18
it's a "robot vacuum cleaner,
it's a robot lawnmower,
54
126680
2696
"robô aspirador", "robô caixinha do gato",
"robô cortador de grama",
02:21
it's a robot littler box,"
55
129400
1495
02:22
I think there's actually a bunch
of other robots hiding in plain sight
56
130919
4137
acho que há muitos robôs ao nosso redor
02:27
that have just become so darn useful
57
135080
1856
que tornaram-se tão úteis e comuns
02:28
and so darn mundane
58
136960
1456
02:30
that we call them things
like, "dishwasher," right?
59
138440
2496
que os chamamos de nomes
como "lava-louças".
Ganham novos nomes.
02:32
They get new names.
60
140960
1216
Não são mais chamados de robôs
porque servem um propósito em nossa vida,
02:34
They don't get called robot anymore
61
142200
1696
02:35
because they actually
serve a purpose in our lives.
62
143920
2416
como um termostato.
02:38
Similarly, a thermostat, right?
63
146360
1496
02:39
I know my robotics friends out there
64
147880
1776
Meus colegas da robótica se constrangem
por eu chamá-lo de robô,
02:41
are probably cringing
at me calling this a robot,
65
149680
2336
mas o objetivo dele
é deixar minha casa em 19ºC.
02:44
but it has a goal.
66
152040
1256
02:45
Its goal is to make my house
66 degrees Fahrenheit,
67
153320
2896
02:48
and it senses the world.
68
156240
1256
Ele também percebe o mundo,
sabe que está frio, se programa
02:49
It knows it's a little bit cold,
69
157520
1576
02:51
it makes a plan and then
it acts on the physical world.
70
159120
2616
e então, age no mundo físico.
É a robótica.
02:53
It's robotics.
71
161760
1256
Não se parece com um robô
dos desenhos animados,
02:55
Even if it might not
look like Rosie the Robot,
72
163040
2576
02:57
it's doing something
that's really useful in my life
73
165640
2936
mas faz algo útil em minha vida
03:00
so I don't have to take care
74
168600
1376
para que eu não precise
regular a temperatura.
03:02
of turning the temperature
up and down myself.
75
170000
2576
Esses sistemas vivem
e trabalham entre nós agora.
03:04
And I think these systems
live and work amongst us now,
76
172600
3816
03:08
and not only are these systems
living amongst us
77
176440
2336
Além disso, nós também os operamos.
03:10
but you are probably
a robot operator, too.
78
178800
2656
03:13
When you drive your car,
79
181480
1256
Quando dirigimos nosso carro,
a sensação é de operar uma máquina,
03:14
it feels like you are operating machinery.
80
182760
2216
mas também vamos do ponto A ao B.
03:17
You are also going
from point A to point B,
81
185000
2816
O carro pode ter direção hidráulica,
sistema de freios automáticos,
03:19
but your car probably has power steering,
82
187840
2216
03:22
it probably has automatic braking systems,
83
190080
2696
03:24
it might have an automatic transmission
and maybe even adaptive cruise control.
84
192800
3736
transmissão automática
e até controle de velocidade adaptável.
Embora não seja um carro
totalmente autônomo,
03:28
And while it might not be
a fully autonomous car,
85
196560
2936
03:31
it has bits of autonomy,
86
199520
1296
ele tem partes autônomas úteis
que nos fazem dirigir com segurança
03:32
and they're so useful
87
200840
1336
03:34
and they make us drive safer,
88
202200
1816
e sentir como se não estivessem lá.
03:36
and we just sort of feel
like they're invisible-in-use, right?
89
204040
3656
03:39
So when you're driving your car,
90
207720
1576
Dirigir deveria ser apenas a sensação
de se mover de um lugar ao outro
03:41
you should just feel like
you're going from one place to another.
91
209320
3096
e não essa coisa complicada
na qual devemos operar os controles,
03:44
It doesn't feel like it's this big thing
that you have to deal with and operate
92
212440
3736
03:48
and use these controls
93
216200
1256
pois passamos tanto tempo
aprendendo a dirigir
03:49
because we spent so long
learning how to drive
94
217480
2176
que os controles se tornam
extensões de nós mesmos.
03:51
that they've become
extensions of ourselves.
95
219680
2696
03:54
When you park that car
in that tight little garage space,
96
222400
2696
Quando estacionamos numa vaga apertada,
sabemos onde estão os limites.
03:57
you know where your corners are.
97
225120
1576
Quando dirigimos um carro alugado
que nunca havíamos dirigido,
03:58
And when you drive a rental car
that maybe you haven't driven before,
98
226720
3256
talvez demoremos a nos acostumar
com nosso novo corpo de robô.
04:02
it takes some time
to get used to your new robot body.
99
230000
3056
04:05
And this is also true for people
who operate other types of robots,
100
233080
3976
Isso também se aplica a quem
opera outros tipos de robôs.
04:09
so I'd like to share with you
a few stories about that.
101
237080
2600
Gostaria de compartilhar algumas histórias
04:12
Dealing with the problem
of remote collaboration.
102
240240
2336
como a de lidar com o problema
da colaboração à distância.
04:14
So, at Willow Garage
I had a coworker named Dallas,
103
242600
2576
Em Willow Garage,
havia um colega chamado Dallas.
04:17
and Dallas looked like this.
104
245200
1576
04:18
He worked from his home in Indiana
in our company in California.
105
246800
4056
Ele trabalhava de casa, em Indiana,
para nossa empresa na Califórnia.
04:22
He was a voice in a box
on the table in most of our meetings,
106
250880
2936
Ele era uma voz numa caixa na mesa,
na maioria das reuniões, tudo bem,
04:25
which was kind of OK
except that, you know,
107
253840
2215
mas, se tínhamos uma discussão acalorada
e não gostávamos do que ele dizia,
04:28
if we had a really heated debate
and we didn't like what he was saying,
108
256079
3377
desligávamos na cara dele.
04:31
we might just hang up on him.
109
259480
1416
(Risos)
04:32
(Laughter)
110
260920
1015
Então, fazíamos outra reunião depois
e tomávamos uma decisão no saguão,
04:33
Then we might have a meeting
after that meeting
111
261959
2217
04:36
and actually make the decisions
in the hallway afterwards
112
264200
2696
quando ele não estava mais lá,
o que não era legal para ele.
04:38
when he wasn't there anymore.
113
266920
1416
04:40
So that wasn't so great for him.
114
268360
1576
Como empresa de robótica em Willow,
04:41
And as a robotics company at Willow,
115
269960
1736
tínhamos algumas partes
extras de corpo de robô,
04:43
we had some extra
robot body parts laying around,
116
271720
2336
então Dallas e um amigo,
o Curt, juntaram essa coisa,
04:46
so Dallas and his buddy Curt
put together this thing,
117
274080
2496
tipo um Skype numa vara sobre rodas,
que parece um brinquedo tecnológico bobo,
04:48
which looks kind of
like Skype on a stick on wheels,
118
276600
2936
04:51
which seems like a techy, silly toy,
119
279560
1736
04:53
but really it's probably
one of the most powerful tools
120
281320
2776
mas talvez seja uma
das ferramentas mais poderosas
04:56
that I've seen ever made
for remote collaboration.
121
284120
2480
criadas para colaboração à distância.
Agora se eu não responder
à pergunta do e-mail do Dallas,
04:59
So now, if I didn't answer
Dallas' email question,
122
287160
3496
05:02
he could literally roll into my office,
123
290680
2216
ele pode entrar em meu escritório,
bloquear minha porta e perguntar novamente
05:04
block my doorway
and ask me the question again --
124
292920
2576
(Risos)
05:07
(Laughter)
125
295520
1016
até eu responder.
05:08
until I answered it.
126
296560
1216
Não vou desligá-lo, certo?
Seria falta de educação.
05:09
And I'm not going to turn him off, right?
That's kind of rude.
127
297800
2976
Não foi bom apenas para a comunicação
entre duas pessoas,
05:12
Not only was it good
for these one-on-one communications,
128
300800
2696
mas para a participação
de todos às reuniões.
05:15
but also for just showing up
at the company all-hands meeting.
129
303520
2936
05:18
Getting your butt in that chair
130
306480
1696
É importante estar presente
e comprometido com o seu projeto
05:20
and showing people that you're present
and committed to your project
131
308200
3216
05:23
is a big deal
132
311440
1256
e pode ajudar bastante
a colaboração à distância.
05:24
and can help remote collaboration a ton.
133
312720
2176
Vimos isso ao longo dos meses
e, depois, dos anos,
05:26
We saw this over the period
of months and then years,
134
314920
2856
05:29
not only at our company
but at others, too.
135
317800
2160
não só em nossa empresa,
mas também na dos outros.
05:32
The best thing that can happen
with these systems
136
320720
2336
O melhor é que, com isso,
começa a parecer que você está lá.
05:35
is that it starts to feel
like you're just there.
137
323080
2336
É você, seu corpo.
05:37
It's just you, it's just your body,
138
325440
1696
Então, as pessoas começam a dar
espaço pessoal a esses objetos.
05:39
and so people actually start
to give these things personal space.
139
327160
3096
05:42
So when you're having a stand-up meeting,
140
330280
1976
Quando temos uma reunião em pé,
as pessoas se posicionam no espaço
05:44
people will stand around the space
141
332280
1656
como se você estivesse ali pessoalmente,
o que é ótimo, até haver avarias.
05:45
just as they would
if you were there in person.
142
333960
2216
05:48
That's great until
there's breakdowns and it's not.
143
336200
2576
A reação das pessoas ao verem
os robôs pela primeira vez é:
05:50
People, when they first see these robots,
144
338800
1976
05:52
are like, "Wow, where's the components?
There must be a camera over there,"
145
340800
3576
"Uau, cadê os componentes?
Deve ter uma câmera por aí",
e começam a cutucar sua imagem:
05:56
and they start poking your face.
146
344400
1576
"Está falando baixo.
Vou aumentar o volume",
05:58
"You're talking too softly,
I'm going to turn up your volume,"
147
346000
2936
o mesmo que um colega chegar e dizer:
06:00
which is like having a coworker
walk up to you and say,
148
348960
2616
"Você está falando baixo.
Vou aumentar o seu volume".
06:03
"You're speaking too softly,
I'm going to turn up your face."
149
351600
2896
Isso é estranho e não é bom.
06:06
That's awkward and not OK,
150
354520
1256
Tivemos que construir novas normas sociais
para o uso desses sistemas.
06:07
and so we end up having to build
these new social norms
151
355800
2616
06:10
around using these systems.
152
358440
2216
06:12
Similarly, as you start
feeling like it's your body,
153
360680
3416
Assim, conforme você começa
a sentir que é o seu corpo,
06:16
you start noticing things like,
"Oh, my robot is kind of short."
154
364120
3696
você repara em coisas do tipo:
"Meu robô é baixinho".
06:19
Dallas would say things to me --
he was six-foot tall --
155
367840
2656
O Dallas tem 1,83 metros,
e levávamos o robô dele
a festas de coquetel, por exemplo.
06:22
and we would take him via robot
to cocktail parties and things like that,
156
370520
3456
06:26
as you do,
157
374000
1216
O robô tinha cerca de 1,52 metros,
quase a minha altura.
06:27
and the robot was about five-foot-tall,
which is close to my height.
158
375240
3336
Ele me dizia: "As pessoas não estão
realmente olhando pra mim.
06:30
And he would tell me,
159
378600
1216
06:31
"You know, people are not
really looking at me.
160
379840
2536
06:34
I feel like I'm just looking
at this sea of shoulders,
161
382400
2696
Sinto que estou olhando
para um mar de ombros.
06:37
and it's just -- we need a taller robot."
162
385120
1976
Precisamos de um robô mais alto".
06:39
And I told him,
163
387120
1256
Eu disse a ele:
06:40
"Um, no.
164
388400
1296
"Não! Você vai se pôr em meu lugar hoje
06:41
You get to walk in my shoes for today.
165
389720
1936
06:43
You get to see what it's like
to be on the shorter end of the spectrum."
166
391680
3536
para ver como é estar na extremidade
mais baixa do espectro".
06:47
And he actually ended up building
a lot of empathy for that experience,
167
395240
3376
E foi ótimo porque ele acabou criando
muita empatia com essa experiência.
06:50
which was kind of great.
168
398640
1256
Ao me visitar pessoalmente,
06:51
So when he'd come visit in person,
169
399920
1656
ele não ficava mais em pé
enquanto falava comigo;
06:53
he no longer stood over me
as he was talking to me,
170
401600
2416
se sentava e conversava comigo
olhando em meus olhos; muito legal.
06:56
he would sit down
and talk to me eye to eye,
171
404040
2096
06:58
which was kind of a beautiful thing.
172
406160
1736
Decidimos examinar isso no laboratório
06:59
So we actually decided
to look at this in the laboratory
173
407920
2656
para ver que outras diferenças
a altura do robô provocaria.
07:02
and see what others kinds of differences
things like robot height would make.
174
410600
3656
07:06
And so half of the people in our study
used a shorter robot,
175
414280
2856
Metade das pessoas no nosso estudo
usou um robô mais baixo
07:09
half of the people in our study
used a taller robot
176
417160
2416
e a outra metade o mais alto.
Descobrimos que a mesma pessoa,
com o mesmo corpo
07:11
and we actually found
that the exact same person
177
419600
2256
07:13
who has the exact same body
and says the exact same things as someone,
178
421880
3336
e que dizia as mesmas coisas que outras,
é mais persuasiva e vista como mais crível
se estiver na forma de um robô mais alto.
07:17
is more persuasive
and perceived as being more credible
179
425240
2616
07:19
if they're in a taller robot form.
180
427880
1656
07:21
It makes no rational sense,
181
429560
1816
Não tem sentido lógico,
mas por isso estudamos psicologia.
07:23
but that's why we study psychology.
182
431400
1696
07:25
And really, you know,
the way that Cliff Nass would put this
183
433120
2856
E Cliff Nass expressa isso dizendo
07:28
is that we're having to deal
with these new technologies
184
436000
3016
que estamos tendo que lidar
com essas novas tecnologias
07:31
despite the fact
that we have very old brains.
185
439040
2736
apesar do fato de termos
um cérebro muito antigo.
07:33
Human psychology is not changing
at the same speed that tech is
186
441800
2976
A psicologia humana não acompanha
a velocidade da tecnologia.
07:36
and so we're always playing catch-up,
187
444800
1816
Ficamos brincando de pega-pega,
tentando dar sentido ao mundo
07:38
trying to make sense of this world
188
446640
1656
com essas coisas autônomas.
07:40
where these autonomous things
are running around.
189
448320
2336
07:42
Usually, things that talk are people,
not machines, right?
190
450680
2736
São as pessoas que falam, não as máquinas.
Introduzimos muito significado
na altura de uma máquina,
07:45
And so we breathe a lot of meaning
into things like just height of a machine,
191
453440
4576
07:50
not a person,
192
458040
1256
não de uma pessoa, por exemplo,
07:51
and attribute that
to the person using the system.
193
459320
2360
e atribuímos isso à pessoa
usando o sistema.
07:55
You know, this, I think,
is really important
194
463120
2216
Considero isso muito importante
quando pensamos em robótica.
07:57
when you're thinking about robotics.
195
465360
1736
Não se trata tanto de reinventar o homem,
e sim descobrir como nos estendemos.
07:59
It's not so much about reinventing humans,
196
467120
2096
08:01
it's more about figuring out
how we extend ourselves, right?
197
469240
3136
Acabamos usando as coisas
de maneira surpreendente.
08:04
And we end up using things
in ways that are sort of surprising.
198
472400
2976
Os rapazes não podem jogar sinuca
porque os robôs não têm braços,
08:07
So these guys can't play pool
because the robots don't have arms,
199
475400
4256
mas podem ajudar os que estão jogando.
08:11
but they can heckle the guys
who are playing pool
200
479680
2336
08:14
and that can be an important thing
for team bonding,
201
482040
3176
Isso pode ser importante
para a união da equipe, o que é legal.
08:17
which is kind of neat.
202
485240
1296
08:18
People who get really good
at operating these systems
203
486560
2496
Quem se sai bem operando esses sistemas
poderá criar novos jogos,
como futebol de robô no meio da noite,
08:21
will even do things
like make up new games,
204
489080
2056
08:23
like robot soccer
in the middle of the night,
205
491160
2136
empurrando as latas de lixo.
08:25
pushing the trash cans around.
206
493320
1456
Mas nem todos são bons.
08:26
But not everyone's good.
207
494800
1576
Muitos têm problemas
operando esses sistemas.
08:28
A lot of people have trouble
operating these systems.
208
496400
2496
Este cara se conectou ao robô
08:30
This is actually a guy
who logged into the robot
209
498920
2256
e o globo ocular dele girou 90 graus
para a esquerda sem ele perceber.
08:33
and his eyeball was turned
90 degrees to the left.
210
501200
2376
08:35
He didn't know that,
211
503600
1256
Ele entrou no escritório
colidindo nas mesas,
08:36
so he ended up just bashing
around the office,
212
504880
2176
08:39
running into people's desks,
getting super embarrassed,
213
507080
2616
superenvergonhado, rindo,
e falando muito alto.
08:41
laughing about it --
his volume was way too high.
214
509720
2336
O cara na imagem me disse:
08:44
And this guy here
in the image is telling me,
215
512080
2136
"Precisamos de um botão
de 'mudo' para o robô".
08:46
"We need a robot mute button."
216
514240
2096
Ou seja, não queremos que o robô
seja tão perturbador.
08:48
And by that what he really meant
was we don't want it to be so disruptive.
217
516360
3496
Como empresa de robótica, incluímos
no sistema a ação de evitar obstáculos,
08:51
So as a robotics company,
218
519880
1616
08:53
we added some obstacle
avoidance to the system.
219
521520
2456
08:56
It got a little laser range finder
that could see the obstacles,
220
524000
3056
com um localizador a laser
que identifica obstáculos.
08:59
and if I as a robot operator
try to say, run into a chair,
221
527080
3136
Se opero um robô e peço a ele
para colidir com uma cadeira,
09:02
it wouldn't let me,
it would just plan a path around,
222
530240
2496
ele não o fará e sim dará a volta,
o que seria uma boa ideia.
09:04
which seems like a good idea.
223
532760
1856
09:06
People did hit fewer obstacles
using that system, obviously,
224
534640
3176
Algumas pessoas bateram em menos
obstáculos usando esse sistema,
09:09
but actually, for some of the people,
225
537840
2096
mas algumas demoraram mais
para percorrer nossa pista de obstáculos,
09:11
it took them a lot longer
to get through our obstacle course,
226
539960
2856
e queríamos entender o motivo.
09:14
and we wanted to know why.
227
542840
1560
09:17
It turns out that there's
this important human dimension --
228
545080
3056
Existe uma dimensão humana
de personalidade importante
09:20
a personality dimension
called locus of control,
229
548160
2296
chamada locus de controle.
09:22
and people who have
a strong internal locus of control,
230
550480
3136
Pessoas com um locus
de controle interno forte
09:25
they need to be the masters
of their own destiny --
231
553640
3056
precisam ser donas de seu próprio destino.
09:28
really don't like giving up control
to an autonomous system --
232
556720
3096
Não gostam de ceder o controle
a um sistema autônomo,
09:31
so much so that they will
fight the autonomy;
233
559840
2136
tanto que lutarão contra isso: "Se quiser
bater naquela cadeira, eu bato".
09:34
"If I want to hit that chair,
I'm going to hit that chair."
234
562000
3096
09:37
And so they would actually suffer
from having that autonomous assistance,
235
565120
3616
Elas sofreriam com essa ajuda autônoma,
o que é importante sabermos,
09:40
which is an important thing for us to know
236
568760
2576
09:43
as we're building increasingly
autonomous, say, cars, right?
237
571360
3296
pois estamos fabricando carros
cada vez mais autônomos.
09:46
How are different people going
to grapple with that loss of control?
238
574680
3360
Como pessoas diferentes vão lidar
com essa perda de controle?
09:50
It's going to be different
depending on human dimensions.
239
578880
2696
Vai ser diferente dependendo
das dimensões humanas.
Não podemos tratar o homem
como se fôssemos um bloco monolítico.
09:53
We can't treat humans
as if we're just one monolithic thing.
240
581600
3496
09:57
We vary by personality, by culture,
241
585120
2416
Variamos por personalidade, cultura,
09:59
we even vary by emotional state
moment to moment,
242
587560
2456
até mesmo por estado emocional,
momento a momento.
10:02
and being able to design these systems,
243
590040
1976
E sendo capazes de projetar
esses sistemas de interação homem-robô,
10:04
these human-robot interaction systems,
244
592040
2296
precisamos levar em conta
as dimensões humanas,
10:06
we need to take into account
the human dimensions,
245
594360
2736
10:09
not just the technological ones.
246
597120
1720
não apenas as tecnológicas.
10:11
Along with a sense of control
also comes a sense of responsibility.
247
599640
4296
Junto com um senso de controle
vem um senso de responsabilidade.
10:15
And if you were a robot operator
using one of these systems,
248
603960
2856
Se fôssemos operar um robô
usando um desses sistemas,
a interface seria assim.
10:18
this is what the interface
would look like.
249
606840
2056
10:20
It looks a little bit like a video game,
250
608920
1936
Pareceria um pouco com um videogame,
o que pode ser bom
por ser familiar às pessoas,
10:22
which can be good because
that's very familiar to people,
251
610880
2976
10:25
but it can also be bad
252
613880
1216
mas pode ser ruim por fazê-las
se sentir num videogame.
10:27
because it makes people feel
like it's a video game.
253
615120
2456
Convidamos jovens para usar
o sistema em Stanford
10:29
We had a bunch of kids
over at Stanford play with the system
254
617600
2856
e pilotar o robô pelo nosso escritório
em Menlo Park, e eles disseram:
10:32
and drive the robot
around our office in Menlo Park,
255
620480
2456
10:34
and the kids started saying things like,
256
622960
1936
"Dez pontos se acertar aquele cara.
Vinte por aquele outro".
10:36
"10 points if you hit that guy over there.
20 points for that one."
257
624920
3176
Eles os perseguiam pelo saguão.
10:40
And they would
chase them down the hallway.
258
628120
2016
Eu disse: "São pessoas reais,
10:42
(Laughter)
259
630160
1016
10:43
I told them, "Um, those are real people.
260
631200
1936
que vão sangrar e sentir dor
se vocês as acertarem".
10:45
They're actually going to bleed
and feel pain if you hit them."
261
633160
3296
10:48
And they'd be like, "OK, got it."
262
636480
1616
E eles entenderam.
Mas, cinco minutos depois:
10:50
But five minutes later,
they would be like,
263
638120
2056
"Vinte pontos por aquele cara;
ele parece um bom alvo".
10:52
"20 points for that guy over there,
he just looks like he needs to get hit."
264
640200
3616
Lembra o "Jogo do Exterminador".
10:55
It's a little bit
like "Ender's Game," right?
265
643840
2136
Há um mundo real do outro lado,
10:58
There is a real world on that other side
266
646000
1936
e é nossa responsabilidade
como criadores dessas interfaces
10:59
and I think it's our responsibility
as people designing these interfaces
267
647960
3416
lembrar as pessoas das consequências
reais das ações delas,
11:03
to help people remember
268
651400
1256
11:04
that there's real consequences
to their actions
269
652680
2256
11:06
and to feel a sense of responsibility
270
654960
2296
para terem senso de responsabilidade
11:09
when they're operating
these increasingly autonomous things.
271
657280
3280
quando operam essas coisas
cada vez mais autônomas.
11:13
These are kind of a great example
272
661840
2296
São ótimos exemplos da experiência
com um possível futuro robótico,
11:16
of experimenting with one
possible robotic future,
273
664160
3256
11:19
and I think it's pretty cool
that we can extend ourselves
274
667440
3856
e acho muito legal podermos nos estender
11:23
and learn about the ways
that we extend ourselves
275
671320
2336
e aprender as maneiras de fazer isso
dentro dessas máquinas
11:25
into these machines
276
673680
1216
e, ao mesmo tempo, podermos expressar
nossa humanidade e personalidade.
11:26
while at the same time
being able to express our humanity
277
674920
2696
11:29
and our personality.
278
677640
1216
Também criamos empatia pelos outros
em termos de ser mais baixo, alto,
11:30
We also build empathy for others
279
678880
1576
11:32
in terms of being
shorter, taller, faster, slower,
280
680480
3216
rápido, devagar,
e, talvez, até sem braço;
essa empatia é maravilhosa.
11:35
and maybe even armless,
281
683720
1416
11:37
which is kind of neat.
282
685160
1336
11:38
We also build empathy
for the robots themselves.
283
686520
2536
Também criamos empatia pelos robôs.
11:41
This is one of my favorite robots.
284
689080
1656
Este é um dos meus favoritos, o Tweenbot.
11:42
It's called the Tweenbot.
285
690760
1456
11:44
And this guy has a little flag that says,
286
692240
1976
Ele tem uma bandeirinha que diz:
11:46
"I'm trying to get
to this intersection in Manhattan,"
287
694240
2576
"Estou tentando chegar a este
cruzamento em Manhattan".
É bonitinho e rola pra frente; é isso.
11:48
and it's cute and rolls
forward, that's it.
288
696840
2776
11:51
It doesn't know how to build a map,
it doesn't know how to see the world,
289
699640
3456
Não sabe como fazer um mapa
ou ver o mundo; só pede ajuda.
11:55
it just asks for help.
290

O legal é que ele pode realmente
contar com a bondade de desconhecidos.
11:56
The nice thing about people
291
704400
1336
11:57
is that it can actually depend
upon the kindness of strangers.

It did make it across the park
to the other side of Manhattan --
293
708880
3896
Ele conseguiu cruzar o parque
para o outro lado de Manhattan
12:04
which is pretty great --
294
712800
1256
porque as pessoas o pegavam
e o colocavam no caminho certo.
12:06
just because people would pick it up
and point it in the right direction.
295
714080

(Risos)
12:09
(Laughter)
296
717560

Isso é ótimo, certo?
12:10
And that's great, right?
297
718520
1256
12:11
We're trying to build
this human-robot world
298
719800
2696
Estamos tentando construir
este mundo homem-robô
12:14
in which we can coexist
and collaborate with one another,
299
722520
3416
no qual podemos coexistir
e colaborar um com o outro.
12:17
and we don't need to be fully autonomous
and just do things on our own.
300
725960
3376
Não precisamos ser autônomos
e fazer as coisas sozinhos.
Fazemos as coisas juntos
e, para que isso aconteça,
12:21
We actually do things together.
301
729360
1496
12:22
And to make that happen,
302
730880
1256
precisamos da ajuda de pessoas
como artistas, designers,
12:24
we actually need help from people
like the artists and the designers,
303
732160
3256
legisladores, magistrados,
psicólogos, sociólogos, antropólogos.
12:27
the policy makers, the legal scholars,
304
735440
1856
12:29
psychologists, sociologists,
anthropologists --
305
737320
2216
Precisamos de mais perspectivas no espaço
12:31
we need more perspectives in the room
306
739560
1816
se vamos fazer o que Stu Card
diz que devemos fazer:
12:33
if we're going to do the thing
that Stu Card says we should do,
307
741400
2976
inventar o futuro em que queremos viver.
12:36
which is invent the future
that we actually want to live in.
308
744400
3936
12:40
And I think we can continue to experiment
309
748360
2656
Podemos continuar fazendo experimentos
12:43
with these different
robotic futures together,
310
751040
2176
com esses diferentes
futuros robóticos juntos.
Assim, acabaremos aprendendo
muito mais sobre nós mesmos.
12:45
and in doing so, we will end up
learning a lot more about ourselves.
311
753240

12:50
Thank you.
312
758720

Obrigada.
