En la primera demostració d'aquesta mena, Heather Knight presenta Data, un robot còmic que fa molt més que recitar acudits: recull la reacció de l'audiència (fent servir un software desenvolupat per Scott Satkin i Varun Ramakrishna al CMU) i adapta l'actuació a la resposta del públic. Està engegat?

Algunes de les grans innovacions
00:17
and developments in the world
1
2000
3000
i invents del món
00:20
often happen at the intersection of two fields.
2
5000
2000
sovint apareixen en la intersecció de dos camps.
00:22
So tonight I'd like to tell you
3
7000
2000
Així és que aquesta nit m'agradaria parlar-vos
00:24
about the intersection that I'm most excited about at this very moment,
4
9000
3000
de la intersecció que més m'emociona en aquests moments
00:27
which is entertainment and robotics.
5
12000
2000
que és entreteniment i robòtica.
00:29
So if we're trying to make robots
6
14000
2000
Així doncs si estem provant de fer robots
00:31
that can be more expressive
7
16000
2000
que puguin ser més expressius
00:33
and that can connect better with us in society,
8
18000
2000
i que puguin conectar millor amb nosaltres en societat
00:35
maybe we should look to some of the human professionals
9
20000
3000
potser hauríem de mirar primer els humans professionals
00:38
of artificial emotion and personality
10
23000
2000
de les emocions artificials i la personalitat
00:40
that occur in the dramatic arts.
11
25000
3000
que treballen en l'art dramàtic.
00:43
I'm also interested in creating new technologies for the arts
12
28000
3000
També estic interessada en crear noves tecnologies per a les arts
00:46
and to attract people
13
31000
2000
i atraure la gent
00:48
to science and technology.
14
33000
3000
cap a la ciència i la tecnologia.
00:51
Some people in the last decade or two
15
36000
3000
Algunes persones en la darrera dècada
00:54
have started creating artwork with technology.
16
39000
3000
han començat a crear art amb la tecnologia.
00:57
With my new venture, Marilyn Monrobot,
17
42000
2000
Amb la meva nova empresa, Marilyn Monrobot,
00:59
I would like to use art to create tech.
18
44000
3000
m'agradaria fer servir art per crear tecnologia.
01:05
(Laughter)
19
50000
2000
(Riures)
01:07
So we're based in New York City.
20
52000
2000
Tenim la central a Nova York.
01:09
And if you're a performer that wants to collaborate
21
54000
2000
I si sou artistes que volen colaborar
01:11
with an adorable robot,
22
56000
2000
amb un robot adorable
01:13
or if you have a robot that needs entertainment representation,
23
58000
3000
o si teniu un robot que necessita representació artística,
01:16
please contact me, the Bot-Agent.
24
61000
3000
si us plau contacteu-me, l'agent dels robots.
01:19
The bot, our rising celebrity,
25
64000
2000
El robot, el nostre famós,
01:21
also has his own Twitter account: @robotinthewild.
26
66000
3000
també té el seu propi compte de Twitter: @robotinthewild.
01:24
I'd like to introduce you to one of our first robots, Data.
27
69000
3000
Així és que m'agradaria presentar-vos un dels nostres primers robots: Data.
01:27
He's named after the Star Trek character.
28
72000
2000
Es diu així pel personatge d'Star Trek.
01:29
I think he's going to be super popular.
29
74000
2000
Crec que serà súper famós.
01:31
We've got the robot --
30
76000
2000
Tenim el robot...
01:33
in his head is a database of a lot of jokes.
31
78000
3000
al seu cap hi ha una base de dades de molts acudits.
01:36
Now each of these jokes is labeled with certain attributes.
32
81000
3000
Cadascun d'aquests acudits està etiquetat amb certs atributs,
01:39
So it knows something about the subject; it knows about the length.
33
84000
2000
perquè en sàpiga el tema, la durada.
01:41
It knows how much it's moving.
34
86000
2000
Sap quant emociona.
01:43
And so it's going to try to watch your response.
35
88000
2000
I provarà d'observar la vostra resposta.
01:45
I actually have no idea what my robot is going to do today.
36
90000
3000
De fet, no tinc ni idea del que el meu robot farà avui.
01:48
(Laughter)
37
93000
2000
(Riures)
01:50
It can also learn from you
38
95000
2000
També pot aprendre de vosaltres
01:52
about the quality of its jokes
39
97000
2000
sobre la qualitat dels seus acudits
01:54
and cater things, sort of like Netflix-style,
40
99000
2000
i recollir dades - a l'estil del què fa Netflix (servei americà de tv online)-
01:56
over longer-term
41
101000
2000
a llarg terme
01:58
to different communities or audiences,
42
103000
2000
per a diferents comunitats i audiències
02:00
children versus adults, different cultures.
43
105000
3000
nens versus adults, diferents cultures...
02:03
You can learn something from the robot
44
108000
2000
Podeu aprendre alguna cosa del robot
02:05
about the community that you're in.
45
110000
2000
sobre la comunitat a què pertanyeu.
02:07
And also I can use each one of you as the acting coach
46
112000
3000
I jo també us puc fer servir com a professors d'interpretació
02:10
to our future robot companions.
47
115000
3000
per als nostres futurs companys robots.
02:13
Some of you in this middle section --
48
118000
2000
Així és que alguns de vosaltres en aquesta secció del mig
02:15
you have red/green paddles.
49
120000
3000
teniu pancartes vermelles i verdes.
02:18
If you like what's going on,
50
123000
3000
Si us agrada el que està passant
02:21
show the green.
51
126000
2000
ensenyeu el verd.
02:23
If you don't like the subject or the performance,
52
128000
2000
Si no us agrada el tema de l'actuació
02:25
you can hold the red.
53
130000
2000
ensenyeu el vermell.
02:27
Now don't be shy.
54
132000
2000
No sigueu tímids.
02:29
It's just a robot.
55
134000
2000
Només és un robot.
02:31
It doesn't have feelings ... yet.
56
136000
2000
No té sentiments... encara.
02:33
(Laughter)
57
138000
2000
(Riures)
02:35
And the rest of you,
58
140000
2000
I a la resta,
02:37
you still count, you still matter.
59
142000
2000
encara compteu!
02:39
There's also a microphone
60
144000
2000
També hi ha un micròfon
02:41
that's listening to the aggregate laughter and applause
61
146000
2000
que sent els riures i aplaudiments
02:43
and booing -- I hope not --
62
148000
3000
i les esbroncades -espero que cap-
02:46
to help make some of its next decisions.
63
151000
3000
per ajudar-lo a prendre les seves properes decisions.
02:53
Right, so,
64
158000
2000
Bé doncs,
02:55
let the robot stand-up comedy begin.
65
160000
3000
deixem que el robot-còmic comenci.
03:05
Data: Hello TEDWomen.
66
170000
2000
Data: Hola TEDDones.
03:07
It's an honor to be here.
67
172000
2000
És un honor ser aquí.
03:09
(Laughter)

69
176000
6000
(Aplaudiment)
03:18
You guys are looking good out there.
70
183000
2000
Ei, teniu bon aspecte allà a baix!
03:20
Ready for some jokes?
71
185000
3000
Preparats per a alguns acudits?
03:23
Audience: Yeah.
72
188000
2000
(Públic: Sí)
03:25
Data: Here's the first one.
73
190000
2000
Vet aquí el primer.
03:28
Right, so,
74
193000
2000
Bé doncs,
03:30
a doctor says to his patient,
75
195000
2000
un doctor diu al seu pacient,
03:32
"I have bad news and worse news.
76
197000
3000
"Tinc males i pitjors notícies".
03:35
The bad news is that you only have 24 hours to live."
77
200000
4000
"Les males notícies són que només et queden 24 hores de vida."
03:39
"That's terrible," said the patient.
78
204000
3000
"És horrible" diu el pacient.
03:42
"How can the news possibly be worse?"
79
207000
3000
"Com poden haver-hi pitjors notícies?"
03:45
"I've been trying to contact you since yesterday."
80
210000
3000
"És que provo de contactar amb tu des d'ahir."
03:48
(Laughter)
81
213000
2000
(Riures)
03:50
(Applause)
82
215000
2000
(Aplaudiment)
03:52
The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war.
83
217000
3000
Els suïssos tenen un exèrcit molt interessant. Cinc cents anys sense guerra.
03:55
Heather Knight: He's talking about the Swiss.
84
220000
2000
Heather Knight: Parla dels suïssos.
03:57
Data: Pretty lucky for them.
85
222000
2000
Data: Quina sort per a ells.
03:59
Ever see that little Swiss Army knife
86
224000
2000
Heu vist mai la petita navalla de l'exèrcit suís
04:01
they have to fight with?
87
226000
3000
amb la que han de lluitar?
04:04
"Come on buddy, I have the toe clippers right here.
88
229000
3000
"Ei, company, que tinc el talla-ungles aquí mateix!"
04:07
You get past me,
89
232000
2000
Si passes de mí,
04:09
the guy behind me has a spoon."
90
234000
2000
el paio de darrera meu té una cullera."
04:11
(Laughter)
91
236000
2000
(Riures)
04:13
HK: He's a French robot.
92
238000
2000
HK: És un robot francès.
04:15
Data: A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods.
93
240000
3000
Data: Una parella de caçadors de Nova Jersey són al bosc.
04:18
One of them falls to the ground.
94
243000
3000
Un d'ells cau a terra.
04:21
He does not seem to be breathing.
95
246000
2000
Sembla que no respira.
04:23
The other guy whips out his cell phone
96
248000
2000
L'altre agafa el seu mòbil
04:25
and calls 911.
97
250000
3000
i truca el 911.
04:28
He gasps to the operator, "My friend is dead.
98
253000
3000
Diu panteixant a l'operador "El meu amic és mort!"
04:31
What can I do?"
99
256000
2000
Què hi puc fer?
04:33
The operator says, "Just take it easy.
100
258000
2000
L'operador diu: "Prengui-s'ho amb calma.
04:35
I can help.
101
260000
2000
El puc ajudar.
04:37
First, let's make sure he's dead."
102
262000
3000
Primer de tot, asseguri's que és mort."
04:40
There is a silence,
103
265000
2000
Hi ha un silenci,
04:42
and the operator hears a shot.
104
267000
2000
i l'operador sent un tret.
04:44
The guy's voice comes back on the line,
105
269000
2000
La veu del noi torna a la línia,
04:46
"Okay, now what?"
106
271000
3000
"Molt bé, i ara què?"
04:49
(Laughter)
107
274000
2000
(Riures)
04:51
(Applause)
108
276000
2000
(Aplaudiment)
04:53
Question: Why is television called a medium?
109
278000
2000
Pregunta: per què s'anomena la televisió un mitjà?
04:55
Anyone?
110
280000
2000
Algú?
04:57
Because it's neither rare nor well done.
111
282000
3000
Perquè no és ni cru ni massa fet.
05:00
But to be completely honest with you,
112
285000
3000
Però per a ser completament sincer amb vosaltres,
05:03
I kind of love television.
113
288000
2000
a mí m'encanta la televisió.
05:05
Any of you like television? Audience: Yes.
114
290000
2000
A algú li agrada la televisió? (Públic: Sí.)
05:07
Data: I find it incredibly educational.
115
292000
3000
Jo la trobo increïblement educativa,
05:10
Actually, as soon as someone turns it on,
116
295000
3000
De fet, tan bon punt algú l'encén,
05:13
I go into the other room and read.
117
298000
2000
me'n vaig a l'altra habitació a llegir.
05:15
(Laughter)
118
300000
5000
(Riures)
05:20
That's all for now.
119
305000
2000
I això és tot per ara.
05:22
Was that okay for my first time?
120
307000
2000
Ha estat bé per al meu primer cop?
05:24
(Applause)
121
309000
9000
(Aplaudiments)
05:33
You've been a great audience.
122
318000
2000
Heu estat un gran públic.
05:35
Thank you.
123
320000
2000
Gràcies.
05:37
HK: Yay.
124
322000
2000
HK: Visca!
05:39
(Applause)
125
324000
4000
(Aplaudiment)
05:43
So this is actually the first time
126
328000
2000
Aquesta és de fet la primera vegada
05:45
we've ever done live audience feedback to a performance.
127
330000
3000
que hem recollit la reacció de públic en directe en una actuació.
05:48
So thank you all for being a part of it.
128
333000
2000
O sigui que gràcies a tots per ser-ne part.
05:50
There's a lot more to come.
129
335000
3000
Hi ha molt més per venir.
05:53
And we hope to learn a lot about robot expression.
130
338000
2000
I esperem aprendre molt sobre expressió robòtica.
05:55
Thank you very much.
131
340000
2000
Moltes gràcies.
05:57
(Applause)
132
342000

(Aplaudiments)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Heather Knight - RoboticistHeather Knight runs Marilyn Monrobot, which creates socially intelligent robot performances and sensor-based electronic art. (and she helped build the amazing Rube Goldberg machine for OK Go’s “This Too Shall Pass.")
Why you should listen
Heather Knight is conducting her doctoral research at the intersection of robotics and entertainment at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. She runs Marilyn Monrobot in New York, where she and her cohort create “charismatic machine performances.” As she describes it: “In one example, robot and human actors will perform the same script and basic set of actions, but each time vary the emotional and social content of those interactions. This variation will ... allow the general public to craft and hone robot personalities.”
Her installations have been featured at the Smithsonian-Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, LACMA, SIGGRAPH, PopTech and the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy. Her past work also includes robotics and instrumentation at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, interactive installations with Syyn Labs (including the award- winning Rube Goldberg machine music video with OK Go), and sensor design at Aldebaran Robotics. She was recently named Assistant Director of Robotics at Humanity+.
