He's, Ah, four legged little battle, but each leg has three degrees of freedom with two symbols and hit someone in the knee on. That means it's kind of Emily can run around, makes emotions. You can say hello, T let us collect him. Everything is controlled through a phone app you can run around on. The idea is, if you go to these little guys, they can battle with little. I are transceivers in each side, so we've got one of each major direction on. What they'll do is they'll fire signals at each other and we'll know when we hit or miss. We're also working on augmented reality gaming, So my picture particular area of expertise is complete division augmented reality such kind of where I come in on dhe. The idea will be that we can put your neck Amman in your living room, having interact with space. It can battle, it, can fight, it can shoot on. It can do that either with another Mecca moan, or it can do it. Playing one of our virtually on Mecca. Mona's well, so he's got things like they like to be ever dance. Let me finish done soon, and then he can hopefully right himself. It's a bit slow. Pee out here so we might struggle in this in this kind of terrain is more of a living room liver. We've got things to do with our battling, so he'll ill do kind of offensive lunges. Sometimes he's got, but in it, she has to scratch. We have a range of things you can play around with. You can change his body height, so on some trains you might want a bit higher. Higher is, the more he's like just fall over. So you might also want to lower and down to stability. You can change where the legs are stiff. He's on a narrow platform. There again, he's on a narrow platform. He can balance. Or if he's on a slope, he can fall over. We can increase how far out is stunt is, and I want to bring in. It's all highly controllable through the multiple servers we got sitting with you and your friend can get one of the comm battle, but also you might want to play by yourself using augmented reality, or you might want to teach him to move yourself. One of the things were quite keen on is that people can enjoy robotics as a whole. It doesn't just have to be about the Mecca. Monix is. We want to inspire people and let them have fun. So we've got an app called Mecca Motion where you can position the leg. You can teach him move, you can say, All right, I want this leg here. I want this leg here. You can build up a series of moments almost like stop animation and the Michael Mueller and how to move between those. Hopefully coming up in the future is a visual programming kind of language based roughly around the idea of scratch. So you'll be able to have kids programming the robot and having fun with robot without necessarily having to know how to get stuck deep down in the code. Eventually, we also happen to have a nest Ikea that people can use to work with robot Maur animal fine grained ways. I'm a computer vision engineer. So my first heard of reach robotics who make the Mecca moan. About four years ago when I was doing a post doc in the breast robotics lab, which is just as they were starting out there in the startup incubator there. And then it just happened. I work for is a post op. For a couple years I moved into industry on Then I just saw a job application for Reach Robotics. And I thought, I recognize that name and I thought I looked it up in, like, a really interesting job building augmented reality around such a cool platform. There really want to inspire people. Everyone there is really passionate about making robots and making cool things is just a brilliant, brilliant place. Could you show me the You've bean kind of working on S Oh, I should say this is ah kind of development bill that I've been testing on. But I can show you show you part of it. So what I'll do is if I disconnect the robot, I can show you some of our A r functionality outdoors. It's a little bit untested for more of a living room state at the moment, but so what I'm doing now is building an idea of where the ground is using. Some of the cutting edge augmented reality techniques are available on mobile phones. So there's a market and Air Corps libraries from Google and Apple. Now it's asking me to explore the place base so I can kind of look around on Dhe. I don't know if you can see on the light, but it's building up on idea of what's around. What I'm going to show you is, ah, augmented reality out. So at the moment I'm building up on idea of where the ground is just by showing it a little bit of the ground space. It can map out what represents the ground in what represents a wall or a chair or a table. So I tell it, Yes, you have found the ground and then it's asking me Thio, you know I have a look around, find where, where about second move the robot. And because it's kind of building up a picture off. What's movable ground? What it can't work on, throws out some scenery elements on. Now we can play the game. This is it. Something of a development building a moment with still a work in progress. But the idea is on the silver robot. We've got the gold robot there. Andi, I could fight the gold robot using my attacks. If I was using a real robot, then I would be able to take on the properties based on the kind of things that are mounted on my robot. So we have these out on so we can put shields on enough on different numbers of shields. Will have different abilities in game, and you can attach different weapons different rifles. And he's well again allow you to make different attacks within the game on. So if you have maybe more weapons, you can carry fewer shields because of the weight. That sort of idea, on a bit more strategy to the game on means it as you as you kind of move on with the Mecca one, you can build it in the way that you're interested in. So the other thing is, it's entirely modular, so we could take a leg off the robot. We can fill it back on, and it's It's a uniform connector, so all the legs fit whichever side of robot you're on. So the aim with the R is that if you own a robot, but maybe your friends don't you can still play with your robot. You don't have to be left just kind of running around. I'm you can get involved with. For in this case, you can have a battle. But we're also looking kind of more arcade style games, things like asteroids, games. It means that you kind of got the scope to enjoy your robot on. As we develop more games, you'll be able to play more games with with it as well, on also the emotive disorder entirely. Virtual boats will be able to play or rented around two games in the Meg Meg come on Universe without necessarily owning a macaron. And then there's another connector here, which is a serial connector, and that's going to little I am you measurement system. So I can basically correct the body attitude according to gravity and level. The machine, but was straight across the bottom of the screen, was in landscape.
