Welcome everyone to This Is Robotics, episode #26 for November, 2023.Oh, and BTW: Thanks for making us the #1 Global Robotics News Podcast for TWO YEARS IN A ROW. I'm Tom Green, your guide and companion into the wide, wonderful world of robotics. Welcome.It's that time of year when we take a look at Time Magazine's picks for its Global Top Inventions for the year. This year, 2023, there are 200 selections in 21 different categories. Robotics, as usual, has its very own category, category #18, but my oh my, robotics, now with its new partnership in convergence with AI, has it ever seeped its way into nearly every other category. We'll take a look at Time's picks, plus we'll pull one out and showcase it. It's an amazing 5-year-old developer called Shift Robotics, from Pittsburgh. Shift has taken robotics, AI, and automation and brought them into the shoe business. Footwear!What caught my eye was its founder, Xunjie Zhang, and his 3-minute description of the company's design process, the "ask it, research it, plan it, create it, test it, and improve it" of finding a problem and coming up with a solution. Beautifully clear thinking and execution. Then we'll see what Wired's Brent Rose thinks about the company during his visit.Following that is our annual Homage to Pittsburgh. A segment that we run every Thanksgiving. The heartwarming story of Pittsburgh's fall and rise on the wings of robotics, after 29 steel companies filed for bankruptcy and left the city in tatters. I usually do a preamble to our Homage to Pittsburgh segment, but this year we have a contributor providing us with one. Florian Pestoni, well-known in the robotics biz as co-founder and CEO of InOrbit, a cloud robotics platform, who is also a pizza fanatic and a great admirer of Pittsburgh. He just made a trip to Pittsburgh and jotted down his thoughts. We'll share them with you.Then we'll take a look at our newest website: Robo AI News where we aggregate and curate the best in the convergence of robotics with AI; and we'll look to you guys to Get On Our Wall at Robo AI News. We'll show you how. It's simple but powerful. Robo AI News is dedicated to the most interesting man in the world: Garry Mathiason: The Man Who Knew Way Before! More on Garry a bit later in the show.Okay, let's get on with the news.

In this episode of BTW, we had the pleasure of sitting down with our new CSO, Brent Rose. We are thrilled for him to share his story, information about our ever-changing industry, and how Beyond finds its' success by paving the way for the Fin-Tech world. "At Beyond, there's a real key focus that is unique in where we are in the payments marketplace. The Business Advocates that we have truly advocate for their community businesses. These Advocates constantly ask themselves, "How do we help businesses grow and be successful in an ever-changing environment" When many small businesses are competing against many of the big store retailers who have a lot of the technology that hasn't been attainable for small businesses in the past. Beyond, can bring that value to the small business owner and help them engage in multiple types of payments, payroll, and employee management solutions."

42 years after its inception, many still consider the absurd humor of Douglas Adams’ "Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" to be among the greatest philosophical works available on our planet. *raises hand* Why are fans so obsessed with reviving this story… and the number 42? And, how did it inform Elon Musk’s design philosophy? We answer those questions in this tribute to our comedy science fiction series on its 42nd anniversary.

We’re back! After a bit of a break, your regularly scheduled Flash Forward episodes will resume starting today. Every other Tuesday you’ll get a future delivered straight to your listening device. I hope you enjoy! On this episode, we’re talking about the future of senior care. Namely: what happens when we outsource care for our aging loved ones to robots, apps and devices? Let’s start by defining the challenge that the technology in today’s episode is trying to solve: in the United States, there are six million people over the age of 85. Experts estimate that, by 2050, that number will jump to 19 million. And a question looms over those numbers, right? Who’s going to take care of us? And who is going to pay for our care? The average cost of a year in a nursing home in the United States is over $80,000. In home services provided by humans are $48,000. At the same time, care facilities are already reporting a shortage of qualified nurses. So of course one of the classes of solutions proposed to this looming problem is technology. There are already apps to monitor and assist seniors, robots to remind them to take their meds,  and sensors to predict when they might fall. There are even little robot animals that can provide them with affection and comfort. But what do we give up when we hand our parents over to robots? What do they want? And are the products that tech people are coming up with actually solving the problem at all? Those are the questions of today’s episode.

This episode is all about a world without plastic. What would that look like? Is it even possible?     Today, plastic is seen as one of our great environmental enemies. But it actually wasn’t always that way. Bradford Harris, a historian of science and the host of a podcast called How It Began: A History of the Modern World, and Susan Freinkel, a journalist and the author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story, walk us through how plastic started out as a solution to unsustainable practices. Then we talk to Sherry Lippiatt, California Regional Coordinator for the NOAA Marine Debris Program, about what exactly is going on with garbage in the ocean. And finally I visit Danielle Trofe at her studio in Brooklyn, where she grows sustainable materials using mushrooms.     Further reading:    Debbie Chachra on peak plastics  "On a scale beyond all previous conceptions" [electronic resource] : plastics and the preservation of modernity  Bradford Harris: Plastics and Sustainability  Our 'Toxic' Love-Hate Relationship With Plastics  99 Percent Invisible: The Post-Billiards Age  Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean  There Is No Island of Trash in the Pacific  Global Plastic Production Rises, Recycling Lags  Different Types of Plastics and their Classification  Health risks posed by use of Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) in PVC medical devices: A critical review  How Stuff Works: bioplastics  Taxation and Regulation of Plastic Shopping Bags in Botswana and South Africa   GROW: A Lamp YOU Grow from Mushroom Mycelium    Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth.

Taking chances and making things happen

This episode we go to a future with pirates! There always has to be at least one pirate episode per season. This time it’s pharmaceutical pirates.     This episode was inspired by a new book by Annalee Newitz called Autonomous. It’s very good and you should read it. I am not being paid to say that, I just really like the book.     Autonomous tells the story of two main characters: Jack the pharmaceutical pirate, and Palladin the bot that is trying to hunt her down. A few cool links related to Autonomous:    How to Write a Novel Set More Than 125 Years in the Future  Robots need civil rights, too  Sword and Laser podcast #306 - Indentured Robotude w/ Annalee Newitz  Pirates and Robots Square Off Over Drugs in Annalee Newitz’s Debut Novel  In A Future Ruled By Big Pharma, A Robot Tentatively Explores Freedom — And Sex: 'Autonomous'    For our episode, we focused on the pharmaceutical piracy part of the book. And to talk to us about the nitty gritty of how pharmaceuticals are made, and how they’re protected by patents, I talked to Jason Kahana, the founder and president of a small biotech company called Integrity Biosolutions, and Charles Duan, the director of the Patent Reform Project at Public Knowledge. [Full disclosure: my father and Jason know each other and have worked together in the past.]    These Aren’t the Patent Remedies You’re Looking For (No, Really)  Teva Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Settlement is a Win for Competition  Martin Shkreli Is Big Pharma’s Biggest A**hole  Drug C.E.O. Martin Shkreli Arrested on Fraud Charges  Yusuf Hamied, generic drugs boss  The Treasure of Mumbai   Pharmaceutical deformulation  The Role of Reverse Engineering in the Development of Generic Formulations  The Impact of the US Food and Drug Administration Chlorofluorocarbon Ban on Out-of-pocket Costs and Use of Albuterol Inhalers Among Individuals With Asthma  Do Patents Disclose Useful Information?   We Are Definitely Against Indefiniteness in Patents    Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth. The intro music is by Asura and the outtro and ad-break music is by Hussalonia. The pirate music from the intro is by Nerve Damage.

In this future there are no more human police officers. Is that even possible?    The future of policing is a really really complicated topic. And it’s also, and this might be the understatement of the year, a controversial one. On this episode we’re not going to try and give you a full picture of what the future of policing might be. That would take hours. Instead, we’re going to focus on two really specific pieces of this topic.    First we talk to Madeline Ashby, futurist and science fiction writer, about robots, and what it might be like if we replaced human law enforcement with robotic law enforcement. Then, we talk to historian and writer Walidah Imarisha, about a future with no cops at all. We also hear from Doug Wyllie, the Editor at Large for PoliceOne, who, perhaps unsurprisingly, doesn't like either proposal.     Further reading:    Disrupt Tha Police by Madeline Ashby  Bomb Robots: What Makes Killing In Dallas Different And What Happens Next?  Robocop Delivers Pizza, Prevents Suicide  11 Police Robots Patrolling Around the World  Machine Bias   Hard Truths: Law Enforcement and Race   Angels with Dirty Faces   Wrestling With Angels: Walidah Imarisha on Harm and Accountability  Audre Lord Safe Outside the System Collective    Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth.

California has one of the largest economies in the world. So what would happen if it broke away from the United States? Could California ever go independent? And if it did, what would that look like?    This is a future that’s been on my list for a while, but since the election here in the United States it’s taken a bit of a different tone. California voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, 66 percent of the state cast their votes for her. And as most of you probably know, she did not win. And this is one of the big talking points of many California secessionists. The presidential election is almost alway totally decided before California’s polls even close. So why should California continue to be ruled by a government that it basically doesn’t elect? And, they argue, that doesn’t really have their best interests at heart.    To help figure out what this future might be like, I talked to:    Peter Laufer, a journalist and the author of a book called The Elusive State of Jefferson.  Jon Christensen, a professor at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the Department of History at UCLA. He’s also the editor of a quarterly magazine about California called Boom.  Jay Rooney, the press secretary for the California National Party.  Richard Monette, a professor of law at the University of Wisconsin and the director of the Great Lakes Indian Law Center.    If you want to learn more about the various California independence movements, here are some links.    The California National Party  Yes, California Independence Campaign  Secession, the American Civil War  Calexit? Brexit Buoys California Independence Movement  Active separatists movements in North America  Republic of Lakotah  One in four Americans want their state to secede from the U.S., but why?  Americans for Independence, in America    Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth.

Today we travel to a future without lies. What would it be like if we all wore accurate lie detectors around all the time?    In this episode we talk about when children learn to lie, the different social functions of lying, and what might happen if we couldn’t ever fib. How would negotiations be different? How would we make small talk? Could we create art or music? All that and more in this week’s future.     This week’s show features four experts in the different facets of deception. Patti Wood is an expert in detecting non-verbal cues. She told me about her work, and the ways she uses body language to try and tell if someone is lying. Maria Konnikova is a journalist and the author of a book called The Confidence Game, all about con artists and people who are really good at lying. She says that while many of the people her book is about would have been thwarted, there would be serious downsides to not being able to lie to one another. Michael Lewis has studied lying and childhood development for over fifty years, and he says that children learn really early on that lying is something they should be doing. And Andrea Kupfer Schneider is a professor of ethics and dispute resolution at Marquette University Law School. She says that without the ability to lie, negotiations would actually be way better.     Right now there are tons of different technologies and methods that try to detect lying, which range from imperfect to totally bogus. According to the American Psychological Association polygraph tests, the lie detector setup you see in movies and TV all the time, don’t accurately tell if someone is lying. There’s also a device called a voice stress analyzer — what it does is listen to your voice and try to detect signs of stress, which suggests that you might not be telling the truth. But according to a study done by the National Institute of Justice, voice stress analyzers are often no better than chance at detecting lies. Of course, that hasn’t stopped some places from using them surreptitiously during phone interviews.     There are also all kinds of drugs that attempt to make people tell the truth. These are staples of movies and television shows, but like most things they don't work as well as they do on TV.    If you’re interested in the history of lie detectors, check out this book by Ken Alder, which explores not just who invented the polygraph, but the long history of our obsession with finding a biological connection to “the truth.” And if you’re interested in a movie about a world without lies, try The Invention of Lying.     Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth, and is part of the Boing Boing podcast family. The intro music is by Asura and the outtro music is by Broke for Free. The episode art is by Matt Lubchansky.     This week’s future voices were provided by Sarah Werner, Brent Rose, Kirstin Butler, Pablo Meier, Eddie Guimont, Guillermo Herrera, Justin Cameron and Jess Zimmerman, who also suggested this future to us, so thanks Jess!

Alan Lipton is a writer/musician/character living in the San Francisco Bay Area. We met when I was doing Pagliacci's Fools. He was a writer. I was looking for writers. Perfect fit.One day in brought me this short piece, "Death and Taxidermy". I fell in love with the piece right away and wanted to record it. Instead of doing it in a live setting I thought it would work best as a pre-recorded piece. There was this actor that I wanted to work with, Brent Rose, who was working with the Shotgun Players at the time. Brent came in the studio, performing both parts and hit it out of the park.Brent is now in New York, working as an actor.
