00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.960
so this video from ces 2018 is brought to you by group renault check out our

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.400
video there symbio's demo car at the link in the video description hey gebo

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:12.400
are you ready

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:18.720
i'm ready for anything well i'm ready for anything that i've

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:25.119
been programmed to be ready for so as you can probably imagine team gebo was

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:31.840
uh well let's just say they recognized our crew when we were walking by on the

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:35.040
show floor here at ces and they actually

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:37.520
had some pretty specific responses to

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:42.640
some of the criticisms we had of their gebo home robot

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:46.800
first of all hey gebo who's the president of the united states

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:55.520
donald trump is the president of the united states so there you go gebo knows

00:00:52.640 --> 00:01:00.239
what's up now and they've made a lot of improvements since then rolling out ota

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.920
updates about every two weeks now there's actually been one small hardware

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:08.479
tweak as well the screen has been swapped out for a higher resolution one

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:12.720
with rounded corners unfortunately it's not OLED the supply is just not there

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:17.360
yet but hey it's a small improvement and we'll take

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.520
it now let's talk about the software updates because there have been a ton

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.000
tweaks to camera processing for better pictures what they're calling fresh and lively

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.000
features to make jibo a little more topical like a snow globe during the

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:33.759
holidays gebo can now play music through i heart radio so at this time there's

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:37.520
not a ton you can do in terms of voice controls and he still doesn't support

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.840
services like spotify but they are expecting to add more services and the

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:46.240
ability to do things like taijibo play the next song in the near future the

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:51.840
team has added a new commander mode that actually allows you to see through

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:53.920
jibo's eyes which lights up a purple led

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:59.439
revealing that jibo has full RGB lighting in his led strip and in fact

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:03.840
there is probably other hardware lying dormant under the hood and the jibo team

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.399
has in fact confirmed that for us another feature of commander mode is the

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:12.319
ability to type a message and have gebo say it lino's tech tips is the best so

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.120
you can be looking around you can go hey this room's pretty messy hey there's my

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:22.239
son yo kid clean your room and giba will say it well in a in a nicer way jibo now

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:26.640
uses information from google in addition to the previous sources and can also do

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:30.160
live sport scores even adding a little bit of color commentary to the mix like

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:37.920
the celtics are crushing the knicks integration with philips hue

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:39.680
nest and all recipes is coming as is a

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:43.599
find my phone function something that i'm sure that we can all relate to a big

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:49.519
priority for the development team is personalized reports so debo will see

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.200
you and say something like hey Linus you

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:54.560
got to get going oh by the way it's raining so you might want to grab an

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:59.200
umbrella on your way out the door or if i were to give jibo an instruction

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:04.239
like when you see my wife can you ask her to pick up some groceries next time

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:09.120
she's at the grocery store gebo can pass along that instruction using his facial

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:13.519
recognition now to be clear i still have

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:19.440
a lot of doubts about gebo and for that matter smart assistants in general for

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.440
as long as they are stationary but it's

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:26.400
clear that the gebo team is a taking feedback seriously and b continuing

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.480
their software development work so i do look forward to seeing how it continues

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:34.560
to change in the future and we will be able to do that because the winning bid

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.000
for our sanjibo was an epic troll so we still have it

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.720
thanks for checking out this video from ces 2018 this video was brought to you

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:47.599
by group renault you guys got to check out their symbios demo car we've got a

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:53.360
video linked in the description but they did a full demo allowing me to take it

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:57.519
out on real french roads with real

00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.680
drivers around at a level 4 autonomous

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:04.560
operating level so that means that i was sitting in that thing going okay i'm

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:09.040
leaned way back there's a big screen here i cannot even see over the

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:13.599
dashboard and this car is straight up driving itself telegraphing its moves

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:18.479
around other vehicles as we change lanes and even being able to operate

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:23.280
autonomously with the driver wearing a vr headset i was a driver i was wearing

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.240
a vr headset and they had the sensors of the car actually dialed into the vr

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:32.160
headset and the programming for it so that you could be driving in this like

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:36.880
fantastical environment like i had like a flock of birds go by and a helmet like

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:41.520
this and it was an actual car totally crazy go check it out to see

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:45.520
