This week, robo cops, accessible

togs and surgery goggles.

0:00:080:00:22

Welcome to give by, the desert

kingdom where there is no such thing

0:00:390:00:45

as too much cash to buy. This city

has spent more than a decade making

0:00:450:00:50

a name for itself for the outrageous

buildings it's created. But now it

0:00:500:00:55

seems it wants to be known for

technology too. A while ago I paid

0:00:550:01:00

it a visit during its Drones for

Good challenge and met some of the

0:01:000:01:06

local innovators who Dubai hopes

will contribute to its new tech

0:01:060:01:10

power image. But groans aren't the

only thing is taking to the skies.

0:01:100:01:14

This hover bike designed for the

police force may one day be whizzing

0:01:140:01:19

police officers to the scene of a

crime. Copper chopper anyone?

The

0:01:190:01:24

officers can be using the hover

bikes across the city to provide a

0:01:240:01:32

service and a fast response.

And

these weren't the only high-tech

0:01:320:01:38

additions to the force. Back in May

the Dubai police got some new

0:01:380:01:43

recruits and these weren't your

ordinary newcomers, and these guys

0:01:430:01:47

were made of the hard stuff, and

Kate Russell went to meet them.

0:01:470:01:51

Like so much of Dubai's over the top

ambition, the police force wants to

0:01:550:02:01

be seen to be using the latest crime

prediction and surveillance

0:02:010:02:04

technology to watch over the people.

We have our cameras, our drones,

0:02:040:02:13

our... We are going into a

science-fiction movie.

0:02:130:02:17

Artificial intelligence based

predictive crime systems, autonomous

0:02:170:02:21

patrol vehicles and unmanned police

stations are just a few of their

0:02:210:02:26

futuristic initiatives.

I am a

humanoid service robot...

Plan to be

0:02:260:02:30

God in all of Dubai's neighbourhoods

are the world's first smart police

0:02:300:02:34

stations which will be completely

unstaffed. Citizens can pot in for a

0:02:340:02:39

safe driving lesson, a quick coffee

or even to report crimes. They can

0:02:390:02:44

meet Dubai's own Robocop. But unlike

the movies... Hello... He will kill

0:02:440:02:53

you with kindness.

You have really

pretty eyes.

I think I'm getting hit

0:02:530:02:59

on by a robot! Do you think I'm

beautiful?

Yes. I love talking with

0:02:590:03:04

you.

Thank you.

You are absolutely

astoundingly gorgeous. It's the most

0:03:040:03:14

interesting thing about you. Myer

sensors detect the paparazzi among

0:03:140:03:20

us. Guess who it is?

It's him. Flirting aside, the head

0:03:200:03:27

of artificial intelligence for Dubai

police seize the future with AI and

0:03:270:03:32

Robotics very much at its heart.

Behind it is the artificial

0:03:320:03:36

intelligence, so it can see you, it

has facial recognition so it can

0:03:360:03:42

identify the person and sent all the

live feeding to the command and

0:03:420:03:46

control system. We have a project

for what we called the Dubai Eye

0:03:460:03:51

where we have integrated all the

CCTV cameras across the city and on

0:03:510:03:56

top of that we're going to build

smart system where it has facial

0:03:560:04:02

recognition. It's so difficult to

monitor more than 10,000 cameras in

0:04:020:04:05

the city, so we have a system where

it can analyse live feeds from those

0:04:050:04:12

cameras and it can also predict all

kinds of activities, especially the

0:04:120:04:20

ones of people.

Although this

unmanned facility currently still

0:04:200:04:24

needs a human on conference call

when it comes to reporting a crime.

0:04:240:04:27

I would like report a crime. There

is a robot here and he's stolen my

0:04:270:04:34

heart.

He's stolen your heart?

My

heart.

Your heart? !

0:04:340:04:45

We've recently seen Chicago PD's

crime predicting algorithms and now

0:04:480:04:54

Dubai's police are turning their

focus to preventing crimes before

0:04:540:04:59

they even happen.

This application

analyses crime and tries to predict

0:04:590:05:04

where and when the next crime will

happen in the future.

Another one of

0:05:040:05:10

the smart services offered to

citizens in Dubai is the ability to

0:05:100:05:13

register if you have a history of

cardiovascular problems. You can see

0:05:130:05:18

on the map there represented by

hearts. This means that when an

0:05:180:05:22

ambulance is called it will

instantly know that it could be

0:05:220:05:25

attending a heart attack victim man

they say that this has allowed them

0:05:250:05:29

to reduce the number of fatalities

by more than 50%.

0:05:290:05:35

That's an impressive statistic, but

is this widespread surveillance

0:05:350:05:38

reminding anyone else of a certain

sci-fi film?

People are going to

0:05:380:05:44

equate this to Minority Report, what

on protocols do you have in place to

0:05:440:05:48

make the data issues and ethical

issues raised in the future? We

0:05:480:05:53

don't predict who will commit a

crime, we predict where it will

0:05:530:05:57

happen and how it will happen.

With one in three crimes being

0:05:570:06:02

successfully predicted this time

last year, the benefits of using

0:06:020:06:06

artificial intelligence are, well,

predictable.

0:06:060:06:09

What's more surprising is that the

drone team here in Dubai would like

0:06:160:06:21

to see it taken even further. They

believe they can use drones to spot

0:06:210:06:27

a potential criminal by analysing a

person's vital signs.

0:06:270:06:31

Like so many of Dubai's big plans,

all this stuff seems to have one

0:06:590:07:05

foot in ambitious reality and the

other in well-intentioned fantasy.

0:07:050:07:10

It's a place worth keeping an eye

on, though, and you can be very sure

0:07:100:07:14

they'll be keeping an eye on us.

0:07:140:07:17

Now, we've all been hearing about

the dangerous effects of Knox, the

0:07:190:07:25

nitrogen oxide that spewed out by

diesel cars, and we do now know that

0:07:250:07:30

some big car manufacturers have been

lying to us for years about how much

0:07:300:07:35

pollution their cars and surely

produce. It's a subject that was

0:07:350:07:39

back in the limelight last week when

a new Netflix documentary reminded

0:07:390:07:44

us all about the length VW went to

cover up its reading of emissions

0:07:440:07:49

tests, that included commissioning a

study that subjected monkeys to

0:07:490:07:53

diesel fumes to try to improve their

vehicles' rink and ensures.

0:07:530:07:58

It's since been revealed humans were

also deliberately exposed to toxic

0:07:580:08:01

exhausts. -- green credentials.

TRANSLATION:

I condemn the emissions

0:08:010:08:11

tests on animals and people, which

were, according to available

0:08:110:08:16

information, co-ordinated by the

automotive industry. I don't have

0:08:160:08:19

any sympathies for this, these tests

were apparently solely aimed for PR

0:08:190:08:24

purposes of the car industry and

we're not going to accept this.

0:08:240:08:29

As the German government and the

manufacturers involved tried to

0:08:320:08:35

distance themselves from the toxic

study, we all have to live with the

0:08:350:08:40

diesel cars already on our roads.

But Kat Hawkins has been looking at

0:08:400:08:45

Suntech that might help us to

produce less of the killer fumes.

0:08:450:08:49

I'm driving around central London

with Lincoln drop. But instead of

0:08:510:08:55

sitting back and enjoying being

credible city skyline is, I can't

0:08:550:08:59

quite rest easy because the app

we're using for navigation is also

0:08:590:09:03

telling us how much nitrous oxide

and carbon dioxide our car is

0:09:030:09:08

spitting out in the real-time. It's

called air.com and Lincoln is part

0:09:080:09:14

of the team behind it.

Knox is a

silent killer, it's far worse than

0:09:140:09:19

CO2 and everything we can do in

order to reduce the amount of Knox

0:09:190:09:23

people it into the air is good for

the nation's health, good for the

0:09:230:09:29

environment and we think we can help

people to reduce the amount of

0:09:290:09:33

knocks they produce as they drive.

The app works by plugging in a small

0:09:330:09:39

diagnostics device into the car.

This takes data points from the

0:09:390:09:43

engine and runs algorithms that have

been designed by scientists at

0:09:430:09:47

Imperial College London. What we're

looking at here is essentially an

0:09:470:09:51

engine you would find in a car?

That's right. It's a relatively old

0:09:510:09:56

diesel engine by today's standards

but it's been updated with a lot of

0:09:560:10:00

technology to measure what's going

on in detail, so we have lots of

0:10:000:10:04

sensors dotted around the engine.

And it's got this external unit

0:10:040:10:09

here, which you would never find on

a car, and that's to modify the

0:10:090:10:14

turbo boost pressure. What we're

doing in the calculation algorithms

0:10:140:10:19

is taking a whole load of engine

data and using machine learning

0:10:190:10:24

techniques to understand and be able

to calculate what the NOx emissions

0:10:240:10:31

would be.

This comes at an important

time for the streets of London, with

0:10:310:10:35

decisions being made at City Hall to

try to combat how much pollution the

0:10:350:10:40

once named Big Smoke produces, and

cars, said to be responsible for a

0:10:400:10:45

quarter of global energy-related

carbon emissions, are the target.

0:10:450:10:50

Last October the Mayor of London

Sadiq Khan brought in a new charge

0:10:500:10:54

that means more polluting vehicles

now have to pay twice the amount to

0:10:540:10:57

drive in central London. This means

cars registered before 2006 or fall

0:10:570:11:01

below the minimum carbon emissions

star gets now have to pay £10 to

0:11:010:11:06

drive into that congestion zone, and

that's on top of the £11 50 already

0:11:060:11:11

in place. This piece of tech could

be a fairer system for drivers.

I

0:11:110:11:17

always think... My daughter, when

she was growing up she had to go to

0:11:170:11:22

Great Ormond Street Hospital on a

number of occasions, it was a number

0:11:220:11:25

of repeat visits and it was right in

the centre of London and we had to

0:11:250:11:29

drive. There was no alternative

solution that we could have taken. I

0:11:290:11:35

think people who behave like that

should have the opportunity for

0:11:350:11:38

paying less.

They think this is the

future. Drivers being encouraged to

0:11:380:11:45

drive more efficiently by being

given financial incentives for doing

0:11:450:11:48

so. This could be done by changing

gears at the right time or actively

0:11:480:11:52

not driving in sensitive areas, such

as near hospitals or schools. And at

0:11:520:11:57

the moment they're using the data

collected from the tests done at

0:11:570:12:01

Imperial to come up with an estimate

of how a charging system could work.

0:12:010:12:05

Lincoln's shown us today that he's a

very considerate driver who actually

0:12:050:12:09

thinks about the night was oxide his

car's producing, but he did read the

0:12:090:12:14

engine a couple of times just to

show us how the technology works and

0:12:140:12:18

what happened now is he has a charge

of around £5. It said a lot less

0:12:180:12:24

than the £10 would be. Still £5 when

he leaves the congestion zone today.

0:12:240:12:30

As governments grapple with lowering

emissions and creating cleaner

0:12:300:12:34

streets, it will be at slight

air.car that will be able to

0:12:340:12:38

capitalise on the decisions being

made.

0:12:380:12:41

Hello and welcome to the week in

tech. It was the week that Facebook

0:12:440:12:48

announced its banning all ads for

crypto currency. The word ransomware

0:12:480:12:52

has been added to the Oxford English

dictionary. And Amazon has patented

0:12:520:12:58

a wristband that could keep track of

workers' movements. It'll also

0:12:580:13:04

provide haptic feedback to alert the

wearer when they're reaching for the

0:13:040:13:09

wrong inventory bin. Meanwhile

fitness tracker map Strava has

0:13:090:13:16

caused alerts. Military personnel

around the world has been sharing

0:13:160:13:20

their exercise routines on them,

inadvertently highlighting foreign

0:13:200:13:24

military bases in countries such as

Syria and Afghanistan. And ten

0:13:240:13:29

months after its release the

Nintendo switch has already outsold

0:13:290:13:33

its predecessor the Wii U, a sign of

relief all Nintendo I'm sure as the

0:13:330:13:38

Wii U was considered a commercial

failure and discontinued. Engineers

0:13:380:13:42

at Caltech have built a fully

autonomous robot that mimics a bat

0:13:420:13:46

in-flight. It has a new flexible

wing design that apparently makes it

0:13:460:13:52

more energy-efficient than other

flying robots. And finally, Elon

0:13:520:13:57

Musk's boring company unveiled a

flamethrower. At $500 is the perfect

0:13:570:14:04

weapon for a zombie apocalypse.

Great idea or will it go up in

0:14:040:14:08

flames?

0:14:080:14:08

Now, Fashion Week season is upon us.

New York next week will kickstart

0:14:160:14:20

the most important month in the

calendar of the fashionista, as I

0:14:200:14:27

well know. But there is a group of

people who do not see themselves

0:14:270:14:31

reflected, people with disabilities.

London Fashion Week last year made

0:14:310:14:35

some progress went to disabled

models opened the show for one of

0:14:350:14:40

the designers. Now a New York

fashion school is hoping to continue

0:14:400:14:45

bike into -- combining tact and

fashion by designing bespoke clothes

0:14:450:14:50

for people with disabilities. Paul

Carter visited them. Buying close is

0:14:500:14:54

something most people take the

granted. You like it, you try Tony,

0:14:540:14:59

you buy it. But what if your choice

is a much more limited because of an

0:14:590:15:04

impairment or disability. I have

come to a fashion lab here in New

0:15:040:15:08

York were using tech to make fashion

more accessible. Open Style Lab was

0:15:080:15:17

established to make clothing for

disabled people which was both

0:15:170:15:19

functional and fashionable.

Operating in part to ship with

0:15:190:15:26

Parsons School of Design, they have

combined with many to solve these

0:15:260:15:31

problems.

Our goal is to make style

accessible for people with many

0:15:310:15:36

abilities. Disability, injury or

facing ageing. By 2025, through

0:15:360:15:44

design and technology.

A year ago I

was looking for a code I could put

0:15:440:15:49

on without the use of my arms. Seven

years ago, my arms became paralysed

0:15:490:15:54

and I needed a New York winter coat.

I was one of the participants in

0:15:540:15:59

Open Style Lab or a semester and I

fell and of the permit and became a

0:15:590:16:04

board member this year.

The team has

action -- access to a wide range of

0:16:040:16:10

tech to assist in the design process

in the design process and the

0:16:100:16:13

clothing they create. I went to meet

some of the people end of this

0:16:130:16:17

fashion innovation.

I am an adult

survivor of paediatric cancer and it

0:16:170:16:25

used to be called a core domain

amputation I think, they take part

0:16:250:16:30

of your arm, a bit of the

collarbone. They are designing a

0:16:300:16:36

bag, I guess, that doesn't carry

exactly like a backpack and that

0:16:360:16:45

doesn't destroy my shoulder.

Jason

Da silver has multiple sclerosis and

0:16:450:16:51

difficulties with speech. It is

designed team are creating a shirt

0:16:510:16:56

with integrated microphone and

loudspeaker to amplify his voice.

0:16:560:17:00

They are creating a sensor systems

so I can talk louder than I would

0:17:000:17:04

normally. It's a speaker system for

people to use. It's pretty savvy,

0:17:040:17:13

actually. Integrating it into...

Into my wheelchair. There is going

0:17:130:17:17

to be a headset or somebody just to

speak with me.

He has an armrest

0:17:170:17:23

with space on it. He has the Crown

surrounding his head. It might be

0:17:230:17:27

that is where it is placed. We are

looking at options for wearables

0:17:270:17:33

extending from the body.

An emerging

area in fashion design being

0:17:330:17:38

utilised by Open Style Lab is

conductive fabric. This is material

0:17:380:17:41

which can be stitched into clothing

to create working circuits and

0:17:410:17:46

garments. Allowing switches in

clothing which can be used to

0:17:460:17:51

operate inbuilt items like lights,

heaters and electric motors.

This

0:17:510:17:56

one, I haven't moved it on but what

it's doing is using a

0:17:560:18:01

microcontroller chip and I've asked

it to do the same thing, the

0:18:010:18:05

conductive fabric inside, so when

you touch one of the pockets, it

0:18:050:18:10

will send a signal and I did it for

the microcontroller to send a signal

0:18:100:18:15

if it is left or right and these are

some of the Pope -- prototypes which

0:18:150:18:19

were made a woman with breast cancer

to see the range of motion so this

0:18:190:18:23

is one of my first iterations of

putting on the chip and using

0:18:230:18:27

conductive thread is to figure out

how the circuit moves inside a

0:18:270:18:31

garment.

Completed projects created

by Open Style Lab in the past

0:18:310:18:36

include a waterproof jacket shaped

to fit a wheelchair user and a

0:18:360:18:40

seamless top for a young girl

hypersensitive to stitching because

0:18:400:18:44

of autism. The work shows what can

be done when technology and lateral

0:18:440:18:49

thinking me to social need. With a

bit of luck, fashion of the future

0:18:490:18:53

will all be designed with this much

style. The trend the home monitoring

0:18:530:19:02

devices to help us feel safe as

houses has evolved over the past

0:19:020:19:07

couple of years. We have seen them

upping their game, adding facial

0:19:070:19:12

recognition and customised alerts

but I've met a company adding

0:19:120:19:16

artificial at -- intelligence to the

mix. Each house member represented

0:19:160:19:21

by one of these stick people, more

hi-tech than usual, their body

0:19:210:19:26

proportions and skin colour, the way

they walk, all of those factors

0:19:260:19:30

built in to differentiating them

from everyone else. Mostly they will

0:19:300:19:35

be carrying out similar activities.

They will become the normal things

0:19:350:19:39

for them to do so anything out of

the ordinary, that is when the alert

0:19:390:19:43

will start. Like when an elderly

relative falls or that well-known

0:19:430:19:48

issue of when someone trips over the

dog. Cherry Home aims to track

0:19:480:19:57

people and pets movements. Also

employing artificial intelligence to

0:19:570:20:01

interpret that data into information

on what anyone is doing at any given

0:20:010:20:07

time. Sound creepy? With alerts like

this, some might think so the Deacon

0:20:070:20:12

Taylor the notifications as you see

fit. The homeowner can then select

0:20:120:20:16

who is going to receive the alerts

through the app. There is a choice

0:20:160:20:21

as to whether you want to be able to

see this video movement or see it in

0:20:210:20:26

some rooms are not others or whether

you only want to receive an alert

0:20:260:20:30

when something has happened. But is

this really what people want?

We

0:20:300:20:36

initially provide a lot of

information but it ended when we

0:20:360:20:40

lost one of our test customers. They

didn't want to continue after we

0:20:400:20:47

told the husband something about the

wife or vice-versa so we learned the

0:20:470:20:51

hard way that it is a bad idea to

get into the couple 's relations. So

0:20:510:20:58

instead of helping husbands care

about wives or wives care about

0:20:580:21:03

husbands, we help both of them care

about who they normally care, like

0:21:030:21:09

kids, pets and parents.

So if this

software can identify people and

0:21:090:21:14

what they are doing, then it could

prove useful for controlling the

0:21:140:21:17

Smart home. To start with, though,

checking all is well in your house

0:21:170:21:22

but not spying on your partner seems

to be a reasonable place to start.

0:21:220:21:34

This now, recently we have seen a

couple of interesting ideas on

0:21:340:21:39

medical visualisation is. One was a

pill sized sensor which can be

0:21:390:21:43

swallowed and gives real-time

information on the gas content of

0:21:430:21:48

your digestive system. Excuse me.

Two years ago I watched the world's

0:21:480:21:53

first VR surgery were medical

students are invited to observe the

0:21:530:21:58

operation in action. The main

selling point of this in mercy of

0:21:580:22:02

virtual reality is it puts you into

places you would rarely get to

0:22:020:22:06

experience.

Unless you are scrubbed

in, you are not touching the

0:22:060:22:10

patients. In another room, looking

over the surgeon's shoulder but with

0:22:100:22:16

this, you are looking on top of the

patient and seeing what the surgeon

0:22:160:22:20

is doing.

Since then, surgeon in

charge Shafi Ahmed has moved on to

0:22:200:22:31

the new lens. The data from the

patient's scans is also overlaid,

0:22:310:22:35

allowing them to consult on the

operation. Research is at Imperial

0:22:350:22:39

College London are looking at the

VR, to enhance the surgeon's ability

0:22:390:22:46

to visualise some of the hard to

perform operations. The team used

0:22:460:22:51

medical scan results to create

visualisation is of bones and blood

0:22:510:22:56

vessels and muscles. Surgeons with

headsets can see the schedules

0:22:560:23:00

overlaid on the patients in the

theatre.

The first time I used this,

0:23:000:23:05

it blew me a rave. It's an

extraordinary new way of seeing the

0:23:050:23:09

world around you and interacting

with it. We were acutely aware of

0:23:090:23:14

wearing a headset. It's a heavy

device for a long period so some of

0:23:140:23:18

the feedback, maybe it's just

selected components of the surgery.

0:23:180:23:22

Not all the time. There might be

that one moment where you need that

0:23:220:23:27

level of precision.

At the moment it

is still being trialled in research

0:23:270:23:31

hospitals. The hope is this sort of

visualisation Tech will improve

0:23:310:23:36

overall position and recovery time.

There is always a lot of initial

0:23:360:23:43

excitement about this technology but

what we need to show is that it

0:23:430:23:46

saves time, it gives better patient

outcomes and ultimately is something

0:23:460:23:53

we cannot just do in specialist

centres but we can roll out to other

0:23:530:23:57

hospitals.

And you can check out our

website on Facebook page for more

0:23:570:24:02

short films on a new tack. That's it

from us by now. Don't forget, we

0:24:020:24:10

live on throughout the week on

Facebook and on Twitter @BBCClick.

0:24:100:24:20

Thanks for watching and we will see

you soon.
