This week, I robot. Robo chef. And some loud, noisy animals meet the

locals. The design Museum in London has

moved into a new home, and it is suitably stunning. I have come to

see Fear And Love, an exhibition of 11 designers reactions to our

increase in the context. The most animated star Joe has to be any

industrial robot arm it is will present a more friendly face to

robotics and maybe help us empathise with the economics of the future. It

senses where you are and comes bounding over to see you, but if it

gets bored it will turn its attention to someone else. It is

like an excitable puppy, actually. Who knows, installations like this

may help to allay our fears of being around giant machines like this. I

have to say, it will still be a while before I trust this thing with

a scalpel, for example. That said, computers are increasingly being

used in healthcare around the world. There is plenty of research into how

artificial intelligence can help doctors better look after patients.

We have been taking a look at some of the latest developments.

Around the world, hospitals are facing a backlog of patients, ageing

populations and a shortage of specialist staff. Some hospitals are

teaming up with artificial intelligence research teams to see

if there are ways high-tech solutions can supplement or even

enhance healthcare in the face of these challenges. Singapore has a

nursing crisis. Its health minister says they will need more than 30,000

new nurses before 2020, and completely rethink the way it cares

for its ageing population. So when the CEO of one of its largest

private hospital networks approached IBM's Watson team, they come up with

a pilot project to try to help nurses working with the most

critically ill patients. This is the intensive care unit at Mount

Elizabeth Hospital. It is where four beds are conducted to artificial

intelligence nursing systems, collecting vital signs from the

patients in digging nurses a more complete picture of who needs the

most care. -- and giving. In one of the first trials of its kind in the

world, the AI is constantly monitoring output and making

connections on a vast range of data, including a commonly used scale. The

scores correspond to a higher incidence of death, and it is

particularly important in the first 24 hours after admission. This

patient has four limes, so if you don't see anything flashing, it

means it needs monitoring. One of the patient is at the high end of

the alert and nurses can quickly access the information in real-time

and look at patterns in their vital signs to see if they are at greater

risk of infections like sepsis. In the AI could help photo imaging

which is the focus of research between Google and the NHS. The

Royal College of radiologists says 99% of hospitals are struggling to

keep up with demand, and the UK has the third lowest numbers of

specialists who can interpret 's gains in Europe. Seven per 100,000

people. The large amount of data is overwhelming a health service

stretched to the limit -- scans. If you can use algorithms or machine

learning or artificial intelligence to set an alert for you to trigger

to say something has happened, you need to go and see this, this is

urgent and you need to deal with that, in the next hour or so when

you may have not known about that. I think it will improve quality of

care and actually improve equity across the system. One of the first

areas where the NHS is testing artificial intelligence is at

Moorfields, one of the busiest I hospitals in the world. Google is

applying the same machinery technology behind its winning Alpha

go computer programme. It beat the world's best human player by

completing tens of thousands of positions per second. We started it

to develop general-purpose burning and use those systems and learning

to make the world a better place. It was obvious to us a few years ago

that there is a massive opportunity to deliver the lead meaningful and

improved benefits to many patients and people across the world using

our techniques to try to improve the way we diagnose and treat patients

at risk of all sorts of diseases. The Moorfields Hospital research is

using scans from this OCT, or optical coherence stenography

machine, which gets a 3-dimensional image. It is used to diagnose

diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic bred apathy, two

leading causes of sight loss. ! Our loss. DeepMind is trying to develop

a algorithm to show scans of consent. They were chosen because of

the high rate of information on the way they can be broken down into

pixels showing areas where damage has occurred. I was especially

attracted to speaking to DeepMind because I thought their algorithms

would have the best ability to deal with 3-D imaging of an extremely

high resolution form such as the city. This is such a delicate area

of the eye that any sort of disruption of the normal

architecture has really amazingly severe consequences -- OCT. I

believe health career could be at a pivotal moment in history by these

advances in technology such as artificial intelligence will

fundamentally change the way medicine is practised, and have huge

benefits for patients. If you think about it, the best humans in the

world will have seen only a fraction of the number of cases that we can

show to an algorithm. Imagine we took all of the cases that many of

the top ophthalmologists in the world have seen themselves, and

aggregate them all in one place. Now the algorithm can sample from all of

the case studies that are seen by various humans and deliver a much

higher standard, more consistently, when making a diagnosis. Are these

projects still in the research or project stage, but is fascinating to

see how artificial intelligence could transform healthcare and the

two better and faster treatment in the future -- all of these projects.

Hello, and welcome to the Week In tech.

It was the week that Amazon completed its first drone

Taking 30 minutes from order to delivery, plus three years

if you factor in research and development, the elaborately

orchestrated trial involved an Amazon product and a bag

It was also the week that Super Mario came to the iPhone,

Pokemon Go got an upgrade, and a UK surgeon filmed an operation

And mere hours after hitting the road in San Francisco,

Uber has been ordered to stop offering passengers

Regulators have warned the company required a state of permanent

The order comes after footage emerged of a self-driving car

And finally, Stanford students put teeny goggles on tiny parrots.

But this was to protect the birds' eyes as they were trained to fly

The new technique has allowed scientists to gain a greater

understanding of how birds fly by analysing the movement

of particles around their flight paths.

It is hoped the work will improve flying robots of the future.

MUSIC PLAYS Where did you love or loathe

cooking, sometimes it would be nice to just make it a little bit quicker

and easier. So I have been testing some of the latest gadgets that aim

to come to the rescue. I have called it a bit of help from a friend. This

prototype robotic kitchen is making crab bisque today. It meant the

slick moves from a professional chef, whose motions were tracked in

the same space, making the same dish, using sensors and cameras.

This is actually quite extraordinary to watch, and that is the first drop

of mess that I have seen. It seems to be pretty clean and tidy. The

only issue is it doesn't do the washing up. That's right, I am not

doing it! And no drinking that. Everything needs to be precisely

prepared before, although some form of ingredient recognition is claimed

to be within its abilities before it goes on sale, which as you might

imagine, will be at quite a cost. A figure of around ?100,000 is being

thrown around. While Moley gets on with things, I will use my devices

to make all of this, and there is nobody to do the troubling to me. I

had better get on. First up, the decision could go to make some miso

salmon. For anyone who doesn't know what this method is, like me a few

weeks ago, it involves serving food in a bad and cooking it in water at

a precise temperature for a specific amount of time, so it should end up

perfectly and evenly cooked all the way through. This device can connect

to a smartphone app where you will find recipes and instructions you

need. Once you have the baby food, and that is the salmon in the back,

quite literally. -- prepared the food. You pop it in any suitably

sized pot with the Anova attached and confirm you are ready to go.

Although this model, which is Wi-Fi enabled, you can set it remotely,

although you would need to have everything prepared, of course. So

that is the main bit of the cooking done. But it does still need ceiling

for one minute in a frying pan. This needs to cook for just one minute on

each side, so it might heat up! Searing. Now for the moment of

truth. The five is great. It feels evenly cooked throughout. --

flavour. I probably missed the fact it is not crispy from the pen. I

could have left it in to do that, but followed the instructions. But

the taste is fantastic and the flavour is really good. A smart

frying pan could have dealt with that issue. And funnily enough, that

just what Pantelligent is. I thought the idea it was dark to start with.

Who needs a Bluetooth connected frying pan that connects to your

mobile to tell you how long to cook things for? I do, it seems, as I

perfected some dishes that may otherwise have been compromised.

This is great. It tells you how many degrees lower it needs to be. The

pen's turbojets jet setter keeps track of the heatsink were regularly

reminded to turn it up and down! Pen's temperature setting. You are

told register and add other ingredients. That is really good. I

was concerned the potato wouldn't be ticked all the way through but if I

had done without this might frying pan, that would have been a brisk --

corked. But that was fantastic. Spot-on, I would say. Back to the

soup and it seems to be ready. This was the only dish it had on offer

for us today, but eventually it should be able to burn as many

recipes as it gets taught. -- learn. A great bit of theatre, but I am

very irritated by this mark on the bowl. But there is nothing to clean

it up with. And the soup needs trying. But I don't eat crab, which

is an issue. I am giving it a go. Oh, crab. It's really nice. I will

be a while. Do was Lara. Meanwhile, back in at

the Design Museum in London, some of the most beautiful 3D printing I

think that the scene. -- that was Lara. These are one artist's

suggestion about how we might revive the ancient culture of making death

masks. I wouldn't mind one because it would make me look like I was in

the film Alien.. Next, what would happen if you scaled that technology

right up? What if you were to let it loose on our homes, our cities and

our architecture? The buildings around us don't look the way they do

by accident. The design, the shape and the structure are all results,

-- the result of designers, what we need the buildings to do and the

practical limitations of the materials and building techniques

we've discovered. This is very much the age of concrete, steel and

glass. But with new technology and techniques, what could the next wave

for our buildings look like? The building industry is still in 19th

century technology. It hasn't really evolved like other disciplines and

if you look now at the speed at which cities are growing, of

technology is really lacking behind. Industrial scale 3D printing has

already been put to use the print full-scale buildings, like this

housing project in China. But researchers are now turning to

computers to not just create buildings but to help design them.

And the results? Well, a little unusual. This is a prototype: that's

been three -- 3D printed here at the University College London. We

basically used a computer and used algorithms to generate these forms

for us. They may look strange, but they are highly optimised. So these

forms attempt to save material and become more efficient, but at the

same time they produce a sort of aesthetic that is very appealing to

us as architects and it really doesn't look what the normal

building any more. Normal 3D printing creates objects by building

up thousands of the layers, which can imagine takes a fair while. The

idea here is to save time by printing just what you need, which

means rather than printing Flatley is instead with shapes, like

pyramids. The software they've created can take this a step further

by figuring out which bits are structurally essential and getting

rid of the rest. Before computers we had to build with hands and now we

can create algorithms that make this calculation is for us, but that

doesn't mean we don't design, we does optimise the process and we can

create in that we couldn't ever think of before. 3D printing will

allow architecture to be much more details, much more fine and also

much more efficient. You can 3D printing exactly the material that

you need in a specific part of the building. You will make it perform

much more efficiently. Before these new techniques can be put to use,

they first need to be proven to be strong and safe. Case in point, this

bridge project aims to 3D printed usable steel bridge right in the

centre of Amsterdam. Created using similar generative algorithms, the

project has been held up while the company proves the regulators that

the design is structurally sound. The actual bridge now isn't slated

to appear on till next year. Techniques like these promised to

spice up our city skylines, but it could still be a while before we see

3D printed is now building sites. That was Steve. Now, earlier this

year we shot an entire programme in 360 degrees. To get these shots we

had to use a six oh pro cameras strapped together and let me tell

you the postproduction was a nightmare. -- GoPro cameras. But

since March more than a dozen much cheaper consumer cameras have gone

on sale, so we felt we wanted to see if they were any good, so we sent

our top team on a mission. Go to central Africa, see if the cameras

can't cope and above all keep calm! It almost went to plan.

We're driving through Rwanda. I've come to shoot some of the highlights

of this landlocked country in 360, including a beach... We are close to

the border with Congo at Rwanda's very own lake. I found my way to the

beach and I have to try this first of all. This has two 180 cameras

that gets stuck together on the device. It is almost too easy to use

and superquick. We actually aren't here to shoot the beach, we are here

to capture something quite special. Meet some of this acrobatic squad

who have taken an interest in my new camera. I'm not sure this is a good

idea. It features the two 180 shops together really well with a few

aberrations near the edges of each lens. There is no post, so as soon

as it is shot you can watch it back or Sherrock. Time to try something

different. We are leading the beach and on our way to the mountains. It

is supposed to be a beautiful journey, so we will use this camera

to try to capture the beauty of the Rwandan countryside. Dashboard

cameras are typically used to record any accident that might happen, but

we made use of this super HD wide angles dash cam as a perfect camera,

each file has its GPS information attached. Before we set off, we set

up another 360 camera just in case we spotted filming opportunity. The

LG 360 camera is the cheapest of before we brought with us. It takes

a 200 degree shot, two of them, which are then stitched together.

Wigan arrived at the volcano mountains, ready for some unexpected

guests. -- we arrived. Unlike the Insta360, the LG cam Cannex

wirelessly to your iPhones you can leave it in the middle of the action

and then sit back and watch. -- connects. The picture wasn't as

crisp and colourful as the Insta360. The camera is lightweight and the in

battery didn't last long. But the three microphones offered good

surround sound, something the will appreciate more if you what your

movies through a VR headset. -- something you will. As the light

faded, we decided to prepare the series kit that we would be using to

fill out for high up on the mountain early the next morning. I brought

the 360 Fly, which looks like a golf ball with an eye. That the camera

with a 240 degrees superwide lens. That means there is no stitching

together of shots and that should mean a smooth and clean picture. She

used the Kodak double action camera. The two cameras need to be

synchronised, so they are started by a remote-controlled watch so the

record the same time. The image from the two cameras need to be stitched

together later with Kodak software, if the stitching works well we

should get winning results. We've been told Rwanda was stunning so we

decided to trek 3000 metres up to take a look. A fellow adventurer at

kindly agreed to be our cameraman, which means we strapped the golf

ball to his head and it soon became apparent what the limitation of his

single lens camera was. A great, lucky black pit at the bottom of the

picture. Ones in the jungle it looked awful. To be fair, it can be

cropped out later, leaving a better view that actually 360 horizontally

but you can't look down. The superwide angle made everything

seemed far away. Anything close up looked great, but the sound quality

was ruined. As we trudged through the undergrowth, we decided it was

time to swap over to the Kodak. It was then the adventure really took

off. The air got thinner and this camera looked like it would capture

anything we came across. Or anything that came across us.

By having two super high-definition cameras we weren't just able to

capture this incredible creatures wherever they went, but we have the

resolution to zoom in as well. On the downside, the two cameras didn't

automatically stitch well together. After fiddling with it using Kodak's

on software, we decided on shot was running behind the other. After a

calculated week got this much better results. -- tweak. The picture

quality was the best of the bunch. The 360 cameras can allow you to

capture everything in one go, but finer details still elude even the

best of them, meaning it will still be a while before you feel like

you're right there. That was Dan Simmons, clearly

angling to be the 360 David Attenborough. That's it from the

design Museum in London. Next week, it is the Click Christmas party, so

be prepared for well, anything! Plus a look back at our best bits of

2016. In the meantime, we live on Twitter. Thanks for watching!

Friday was another grey day for many parts of the country. Any breaks in

the cloud, mist and
