:00:09. > :00:16.This week, the women fighting for tech recognition. Berlin in the
:00:17. > :00:44.round stoppage and attack of the swarm. It's going to be monstrous.
:00:45. > :00:53.This week, we've been to EFA, the massive tech show in Berlin. We'll
:00:54. > :00:57.be looking at the big launches and the cool new devices from the fair
:00:58. > :01:07.in a few minutes and we'll also hear from the people behind them to we've
:01:08. > :01:12.noticed once again mostly men. The lack of women in tech has been well
:01:13. > :01:16.documented. It's something we run up against every single day working on
:01:17. > :01:22.Click and it's so frustrating, it's extremely rare for us to turn up at
:01:23. > :01:28.a tech company and for of the available spokespeople to be female.
:01:29. > :01:32.It's been suggested that the lack of women in text of the building early
:01:33. > :01:36.on. Kids are going back to school this week on the heels of stats from
:01:37. > :01:40.the latest exam results here in the UK showing that girls are turning
:01:41. > :01:46.away from stem subjects, that's science, technology, engineering and
:01:47. > :01:50.maths. Only 20% of those who sat the computer sciences GCSE exam this
:01:51. > :01:58.year were girls. Forced GCSE engineering it was 10%. -- for.
:01:59. > :02:04.Someone who is fighting gender stereotypes is Anne-Marie. At 11 she
:02:05. > :02:09.took an A-level in computing and by 20 had graduated from Oxford in
:02:10. > :02:13.maths and science. The biggest thing is the social norm and it's that
:02:14. > :02:16.awareness of the options you have but also the role models and the
:02:17. > :02:23.people that have gone before you but so you think it's for dead white
:02:24. > :02:32.guys for two... They are living guys in ... The first programme was
:02:33. > :02:36.written by a woman but there's countless stories of women we don't
:02:37. > :02:40.hear all who we haven't been told so that definitely plays on that social
:02:41. > :02:45.norm. Anne-Marie co-founded stem X, an organisation on a mission to
:02:46. > :02:50.inspire and help more women into stem careers. Jews also filled a
:02:51. > :02:56.house with teenage girls from across Europe and turned it into an
:02:57. > :03:01.incubator new stem ideas -- shoes also. My advice is for young goals
:03:02. > :03:08.to look for their tribe Gashi is also. Technology is a social thing
:03:09. > :03:12.to do -- she's also. I would love to see a female character in EastEnders
:03:13. > :03:16.to move the social norm so for the rest of us the whole notion of a
:03:17. > :03:20.technical female isn't something that is one character in the matrix
:03:21. > :03:24.or whoever it is in that Bond movie, but something a little bit more
:03:25. > :03:29.mainstream fall of us. Of course since I met Anne-Marie there has at
:03:30. > :03:33.least been one big change on screen that may hopefully influence a whole
:03:34. > :03:45.generation. Maybe that should be regeneration of geeks. OK, now, as
:03:46. > :03:48.promised, to Berlin, to Europe's largest tech fair, IFA, where Dan
:03:49. > :03:56.Simmons has taken cover from the autumnal weather.
:03:57. > :04:01.Tunnels of curved TVs lead you from Hall 7218. There are 26 here at IFA,
:04:02. > :04:09.some larger than a football pitch, packed with the latest gadgets,
:04:10. > :04:14.gizmos and gardening baskets? This one also uses LEDs but to grow
:04:15. > :04:18.plants. The basket monitors and provides water and nutrients to
:04:19. > :04:25.promote growth and it's out in November. This year, robots seem to
:04:26. > :04:31.be everywhere. Cute ones... This one's got eyes in the back of its
:04:32. > :04:34.head. It's got an HD projector. To ones that will help you clean the
:04:35. > :04:39.floor. It's supposed to stop if someone walks in front of it but if
:04:40. > :04:43.it doesn't at least you get a nice shoeshine. And this multilingual one
:04:44. > :04:47.helps you get to your gate among other things when you feed in your
:04:48. > :04:53.boarding card. Both started work at Seoul airport this summer hoping to
:04:54. > :04:57.impress visitors and rage, raise LG's profile ahead of February's
:04:58. > :05:02.Winter Olympics. Smart helmets are catching on and a Chinese maker
:05:03. > :05:08.showed off its new offerings for cyclists and skiers to safely stay
:05:09. > :05:11.in touch. Now, you can also listen in confidence to your music as well,
:05:12. > :05:15.which is coming through speakers just underneath the rim of this
:05:16. > :05:19.helmet. Quite smart then really. You can take phone calls in this as
:05:20. > :05:23.well, that's why they call it a helmet phone. All of that is also
:05:24. > :05:28.incorporated into this helmet, that one is available next month, this
:05:29. > :05:31.one you'll have to wait until ski season gets under way because it's a
:05:32. > :05:35.proper ski helmet but with an added bonus of a push to talk button here,
:05:36. > :05:44.that means it connects to walkie-talkies as well as other
:05:45. > :05:48.helmets like this. If you're skiing with your family and friends you can
:05:49. > :05:51.constantly stay in touch. Smart watches haven't quite been the hit
:05:52. > :05:55.that was promised so what about an old school watch with hands with the
:05:56. > :05:59.smart screen there when you need it? The hands even get out of the way
:06:00. > :06:02.when you get a message and the idea has already raised $6 million in
:06:03. > :06:07.crowd fundraising. And SanDisk has another big number on a microscale.
:06:08. > :06:15.Now, this is remarkable, 400 gigabytes SD card. Only last year
:06:16. > :06:21.this would have looked like this. We've seen via's gadget for DIY home
:06:22. > :06:24.improvements that can see through walls earlier this year using
:06:25. > :06:28.radio-frequency signals like radar it can also detect family people are
:06:29. > :06:33.in the room and whether they're sitting or lying down. Useful for
:06:34. > :06:37.carers to detect falls. And the kit can also see through internal walls,
:06:38. > :06:42.so multiple rooms can be monitored without the need for an invasive
:06:43. > :06:47.camera. This sort of anonymous tracking could be used to smarten up
:06:48. > :06:51.our gadgets too. You can have your TV followed you around, you can have
:06:52. > :06:55.the TV turnoff when you get up and get a coffee and you can have the
:06:56. > :06:58.copy machine start making coffee when you leave your room in the
:06:59. > :07:01.morning or even direct the air conditioning or the heating to
:07:02. > :07:06.follow you around or change depending on how many people are
:07:07. > :07:11.inside the room. Two new upgrades to consume 360 cameras, Kodak's 4K
:07:12. > :07:14.offering is now an all in one unit and postproduction has been
:07:15. > :07:17.simplified with an easy-to-use slider to stick the two images
:07:18. > :07:23.together if you don't like the automatic on-board result. And
:07:24. > :07:28.instead 360's one can now stream live to Facebook or YouTube if you
:07:29. > :07:34.digress from its native 4K quality. It also let's you use a director's
:07:35. > :07:38.cut off what you shot to stare with friends and the clever bullet shot
:07:39. > :07:43.feature let's you go a little bit matrix. And Chinese newcomer
:07:44. > :07:51.showcased its new low-cost eight kay 360 camera due out in November. To
:07:52. > :07:56.macro big phone launches here, LG's the 30, which supports superhigh
:07:57. > :08:01.Reds sound files and a stunning 2-to-1 ratio of LED display and
:08:02. > :08:06.Sony's latest Experian model which uses the camera's autofocus function
:08:07. > :08:10.to create a 3-D model of anything. Normally to do 3-D you would have to
:08:11. > :08:14.go to a professional studio and use lots of cameras but we've brought
:08:15. > :08:21.that into one camera on a smart phone, take the standard OBJ file
:08:22. > :08:25.and the possibilities are endless. With some messages out there already
:08:26. > :08:31.able to make use of these 3-D scans, perhaps they are.
:08:32. > :08:37.Welcome to the week in tech. It was the week that the Boston Red Sox
:08:38. > :08:40.were found to have used an Apple watch too cheated during a recent
:08:41. > :08:44.baseball game. Players receive messages about what kind of pitch
:08:45. > :08:49.was about to be thrown. Clothes that grow as your child grows one this
:08:50. > :08:53.year's James Dyson award for innovation. The garments asked to in
:08:54. > :08:57.the prototype stage but it claimed they will fit children aged from six
:08:58. > :09:03.months all the way up to three years. It's goodbye to the ?300
:09:04. > :09:07.juicing machine backed by Google ventures and Perkins but was quickly
:09:08. > :09:11.criticised for being a sign of out of touch Silicon Valley elites.
:09:12. > :09:14.Essentially doing the same job as squeezing fruit with your hands. A
:09:15. > :09:19.pen like device can identify cancerous tissue in ten seconds.
:09:20. > :09:24.Scientists at the university of the test out it had a 96% accuracy in
:09:25. > :09:28.finding tumours. The world's bestselling electric car, the Nissan
:09:29. > :09:33.Leaf, got an upgrade this week, unveiling a European range of 235
:09:34. > :09:37.miles on a single battery charge. New self driving features like
:09:38. > :09:42.assisted parking. But Tesla isn't feeling threatened just yet it seems
:09:43. > :09:47.because it's Model 3 can still go further than the leaf on one battery
:09:48. > :09:51.charge. And finally the friendly plumber is no longer a plumber. In
:09:52. > :09:55.shocking news Nintendo announced this week that legendary character
:09:56. > :09:59.Mario is a sporty fella enjoying tennis and baseball and he once
:10:00. > :10:01.worked as a plumber. What's the future going to bring for his career
:10:02. > :10:24.I wonder? The release of both Apple and
:10:25. > :10:29.Google's AR developer kids are creating a bit of a buzz. At a time
:10:30. > :10:37.when augmented reality has been upping its game.
:10:38. > :10:45.We started out with augmented reality in books seven years ago and
:10:46. > :10:50.at the time we were using webcams and computers. Now the characters
:10:51. > :10:52.that we generate with the digital AR are much richer, they're more
:10:53. > :10:57.complicated, they're more sophisticated. The interactivity we
:10:58. > :11:02.can do with those features is much greater so as AR kids and AR core
:11:03. > :11:07.from Apple and Google come into play later this year will be able to be
:11:08. > :11:13.even more, it's going to be a very exciting journey. If you happen to
:11:14. > :11:19.find yourself on a roof and want to be joined by a dinosaur, then this
:11:20. > :11:23.could come in handy. The best AR experiences are when the virtual
:11:24. > :11:28.object is well placed in a 3-D space and its proportions change as you
:11:29. > :11:37.move around it. Here, its face is here. The AR kit is going to give
:11:38. > :11:40.the cameras on our everyday phones and tablets the capability to
:11:41. > :11:44.perceive depth better. It will do so by tracking objects in a scene
:11:45. > :11:48.through the frame using computer vision and analysis and combining it
:11:49. > :11:54.with data from its motion sensing hardware. According to Google its AR
:11:55. > :11:58.kit will also estimate the light coming into a room so that virtual
:11:59. > :12:03.things are placed in the scene and dynamically lit. And if rumours are
:12:04. > :12:12.to be believed the upcoming iPhone will feature a laser sensor to
:12:13. > :12:16.improve its spatial awareness. And cool, two weeks ago released this
:12:17. > :12:22.video which shows its new depth sensing chip, showing Android
:12:23. > :12:26.devices would be far behind. Right now the pricing Microsoft hollow
:12:27. > :12:29.lens might provide this experience for the elite few but augmented and
:12:30. > :12:35.mixed reality could be heading to the masses. That's certainly what
:12:36. > :12:41.the aim is with this, the $30 zapper zapper box. So, the kit consists of
:12:42. > :12:44.this Google cardboard inspired headset, which of course you place
:12:45. > :12:49.your phone inside, and to increase your field of view while doing that
:12:50. > :12:53.there is a fisheye lens to attach. Now you also got a head strap which
:12:54. > :12:57.means once that's attached you freed up your hands, once your hands are
:12:58. > :13:00.free you're going to be able to hold onto the two controllers so you can
:13:01. > :13:03.interact a bit more with your content and make sure you place
:13:04. > :13:08.things in a suitable environment in the real world, well, here are the
:13:09. > :13:11.markers. They will ensure the area is accurately mapped so virtual
:13:12. > :13:15.objects can be anchored appropriately. There's a rabbit.
:13:16. > :13:21.Hello, a rabbit has appeared. Right, must get these in my hands. Just a
:13:22. > :13:26.shame I found the headset rather uncomfortable to wear. It left me
:13:27. > :13:37.with a bit of a sore nose. But if a game of golf isn't for you then
:13:38. > :13:40.maybe this is. Thank you. City socials for a into the world
:13:41. > :13:44.augmented reality uses the medium to bring their cocktail menu to life.
:13:45. > :13:47.The leaf. You have a choice of what genre of art you would like in
:13:48. > :13:52.relation to what cocktail you choose so every cocktail tells a story.
:13:53. > :13:56.Before seeing this in the flesh I did struggle to see the point but
:13:57. > :14:00.the detail was beautifully executed. It was created and I think I
:14:01. > :14:03.personally could have appreciated it more on a food menu. Cheers. --
:14:04. > :14:14.creative. That was Lara. Earlier on we spoke
:14:15. > :14:19.about the shortage of women in science technology engineering and
:14:20. > :14:25.maths. That extends to gaming as well. But in the realm of his sports
:14:26. > :14:29.in Asia, some women are trying to buck that trend and win themselves
:14:30. > :14:34.thousands of dollars in prize money. Danny has met a group of gamers in
:14:35. > :14:41.China who have given up their jobs and made a career out of it. Welcome
:14:42. > :14:47.to the world of professional gaming. This is LLD, a professional female a
:14:48. > :14:53.sports team based in Shanghai. They are group of six game is living
:14:54. > :14:58.under the one roof, training 70 hours a week, playing legals
:14:59. > :15:03.legends. China is becoming one of the new centres of the sports world.
:15:04. > :15:14.They have overtaken both the US and Korea. There are 500 million gamers
:15:15. > :15:21.here. This is eastern China and this is the premium female esports
:15:22. > :15:25.competition. El LG is one of the leading female teams in the country.
:15:26. > :15:31.They have travelled across China to attempt to win their first trophy.
:15:32. > :15:36.16 teams go head-to-head in this knockout competition to take home
:15:37. > :15:38.$30,000 in prize money. But more than the money, winning an
:15:39. > :16:03.international competition would bring the team recognition.
:16:04. > :16:11.It takes thousands of hours of physical and mental dedication to
:16:12. > :16:13.become an esports professional. Chinese men are among the
:16:14. > :16:19.highest-paid gamers on the planet. The biggest earners can make close
:16:20. > :16:23.to $2 million a year. The female competitions are few and far
:16:24. > :16:25.between. LLG turned professional two years ago but they are yet to win
:16:26. > :16:49.any prize money. The team have progressed into the
:16:50. > :16:53.second round after defeating a Korean side. Tomorrow is the final
:16:54. > :17:14.of the competition. They retreat for the day.
:17:15. > :17:21.It's the morning of the final and nerves are sitting in. This woman
:17:22. > :17:22.dropped out of high school to pursue her career in gaming, against the
:17:23. > :17:51.wishes of her family. Esports players consider themselves
:17:52. > :17:57.athletes. They have trained hard to get this far. But they have already
:17:58. > :18:06.lost their first game. To take on the trophy, they must beat MG, a
:18:07. > :18:14.rival site from China. This is a do or die moment for LLG. To win this
:18:15. > :18:35.competition, they must come together as a team. Winning a major
:18:36. > :19:17.competition brings pride to the side.
:19:18. > :19:25.The esports industry in China is set to become an event at the 2022 Asian
:19:26. > :19:36.games. These may be the sports stars of the future.
:19:37. > :19:42.That was Danny Vincent. Now throughout this programme we have
:19:43. > :19:46.seen just how power will fall our smart phones are becoming and they
:19:47. > :19:49.are playing an increasing role, for better or for worse, in self
:19:50. > :19:57.diagnostics when it comes to our health. For example, here is an app
:19:58. > :20:03.designed to spot early signs of pancreatic cancer by using special
:20:04. > :20:09.glasses, or a special box, to test the colour of your eyes. It is to
:20:10. > :20:13.measure jaundice in adults by measuring the degree two of which
:20:14. > :20:18.the why part of the eye turns yellow jaundice can point to many different
:20:19. > :20:23.medical conditions but the one we are looking at its pancreatic
:20:24. > :20:27.cancer. The app are still in development but so far in an initial
:20:28. > :20:32.development it appeared to be about 90% as accurate as the blood tested
:20:33. > :20:38.it and this year, and advances as well in demystifying medical
:20:39. > :20:42.procedures. This scope won a design award. It allows a surgeon and those
:20:43. > :20:48.around them see exactly what is happening in 3-D while displaying
:20:49. > :20:52.vital statistics in an easy way. Here, for example, the patient's
:20:53. > :21:00.bloodflow level in each main is easily displayed. But was this 3-D
:21:01. > :21:04.by a printer that won busy's gold design award. This software was
:21:05. > :21:07.created to make it easier for clinical staff to design their own
:21:08. > :21:14.vascular structures and other cell tissue which can then be printed to
:21:15. > :21:19.order. It also offers a more complicated mini organs so companies
:21:20. > :21:24.can avoid testing products on animals and get a true human result.
:21:25. > :21:29.Liver tissue, these small mini livers can convert toxic substances
:21:30. > :21:36.into non-toxic. This is one key aspect of the liver and we can do
:21:37. > :21:41.this in the lab. But do not get to carried away. Alex reckons a
:21:42. > :21:47.full-size working human organ is still ten or 20 years away. One day
:21:48. > :21:52.we may have the strangest things swimming through our bodies. Don't
:21:53. > :21:58.worry, it would be these. But it could be millions of tiny nano
:21:59. > :22:04.robots swarm in a similar way to these prototypes. At Bristol
:22:05. > :22:07.Robotics lab, scientists are trying to work out how in the future we
:22:08. > :22:12.could treat cancer using I/O engineered nano particles. Those of
:22:13. > :22:17.the tiny green dots you can see here. They might fight the bad cells
:22:18. > :22:22.in a tumour, the red dots, by forming a trail to the problem area,
:22:23. > :22:27.targeting the infected tissue and delivering drugs directly to it. So
:22:28. > :22:34.how do you control millions of nano robots to do such a complex task?
:22:35. > :22:42.Well, the answer lies in nature. This is swarm behaviour at its best.
:22:43. > :22:47.Doctors Adina Howard and her team are harnessing the laws of nature
:22:48. > :22:50.and applying them to Robotics. It is fascinating because each one of
:22:51. > :22:58.these robots is following a simple set of rules and only looking at the
:22:59. > :23:01.local environment. And the effect of all of the robots working together
:23:02. > :23:06.gives you these beautiful conflicts figures. It is easy to programme
:23:07. > :23:11.robots to follow simple rules and they would certainly reduce some
:23:12. > :23:16.sort of swarm. But Sabena is trying to do it the other way around. She
:23:17. > :23:22.knows what complex swarm patterns that she wants and she needs to find
:23:23. > :23:25.the simple rules that produce them. Either we use bio inspiration, from
:23:26. > :23:29.nature, or we use machine learning where we do it automatically. Or we
:23:30. > :23:37.crowd sourced. Sometimes we ask that crowd to help us. As well is trying
:23:38. > :23:43.to reverse engineer nature, Doctor Sabine Howard has also developed
:23:44. > :23:54.tools to help programme and activate so many robots in one go. Nothing to
:23:55. > :23:58.worry about. You saved the universe. Oh, these have come to life. Hang
:23:59. > :24:05.on. That is all from us for now. We are on Facebook and Twitter.
:24:06. > :24:11.Hopefully I will see you next week. Assuming this swarm turned out to be
:24:12. > :24:16.friendly, that is. I'm a celebrity! Get me out of here!
