00:01that service robot looks friendly enough when in rome scanning id greetings david somerset
00:08senior test engineer robotics department where is your tracking chip i do not detect a signal
00:14tracking chip company policy you should have received the implants on the plane
00:19ah must have missed it spent most of the trip in the bathroom nervous flyer very well i have
00:25notified legal someone will be in touch now how may i assist you
00:32where can i find hyperion in the annals of greek mythology smart horse what's your name it is
00:39wellington thank you for asking no one ever bothers are you sentient alas no but i have passed a turing
00:47test many times with flying colors where may i find sir nicholas webb sir nicholas is located in the
00:54operations department command center great do i have access to operations you do not your access
01:00is limited to the robotics department just my luck strange your face does not match the picture in
01:07our database you are not david somerset stay put while i notify
01:16right i'm going to operations you should too you think hyperion will be at the command center
01:21if not it's your best chance of locating it you're in robotics i'm in nanomechanics i say we
01:27split up double our chances works for me call if you have a breakthrough if when oh take this
01:33pistol attachment fire is a wireless electroshock projectile that will cripple an elephant and fry
01:40just about any electronic system might come in handy where you're going we've got those too
01:54error please await assistance
01:57all fixed
02:21i think you would like this place david somerset
02:29seems i'm in the right place ah good show hope you're feeling better i'm ferguson the head of
02:34department hop on that big platform over there i'll show you the ropes so you came in on the chopper
02:39this
02:39morning that's right straight from london how's the weather well if you need to ask you've been
02:44away too long ain't that the truth may i introduce the autonomous demolition unit or recce among
02:51friends it's designed for urban disaster areas able to clear a path through wreckage in mere moments
02:56allowing medical aid to arrive safer and faster here grab the controls and take it for a spin let's
03:03take it started issue a move command any direction you want good now here comes the fun bit make
03:11wrecky demolish those crates
03:18mushing just don't get in its way wrecky is equipped with a full array of detection sensors
03:23as long as you have a heartbeat you're perfectly safe all right i think you've got the hang of it
03:29stay put while i reconfigure the pen it'll only take a minute i'm curious what exactly are the
03:34accusations against sir nicholas i'm getting mixed messages down here uh you know high treason fraud
03:40conspiracy to commit murder slap on the wrist stuff really must be false something a troll farm cooked
03:46up stuff they can do with deepfakes anyway here we are our most promising creation tabula rasa general
03:53purpose android this unit can master virtually any function or skill through memetic machine learning
03:59caretaker paramedic teacher the sky's the limit it's quite strong when required and incredibly damage
04:05resistant you know how to use a gun how hard can it be go on then try and make a
04:10dent okay here it goes
04:13aim and squeeze right
04:18i imagine law enforcement agencies will be lining up not an option i'm afraid
04:25the functionality is totally there though
04:31pity it was starting to grow
04:38well that's all the time i have i'm afraid we'll pick this up later have a look around i suggest
04:43you
04:44try the piano advanced mimicry it'll knock your socks off yeah will do thanks for your time good
04:49to have you on the team somerset james what's your status happily single thank you very much i made it
04:55pass nanomechanics the utility area behind the research space connects every floor utility area got it
05:10motion detected activating dynamic impulse response sensors
05:17mimicry systems engaged proceed with test i lead it follows good to know
05:25so
05:30this takes me back
05:32so
06:03Right, back to work.
06:05Blimey. That finger dexterity is amazing.
06:15Okay, I'm just going to ask. What about defensive applications? Could they be used for policing?
06:20Nah. See, that would go against our corporate values.
06:25Why? They'd be great for de-escalation. Probably avoid a lot of human error and senseless violence.
06:31True, but people instinctively recoil at the idea. Webb wants people to embrace his vision. This is brave new world,
06:40not 1984.
06:41I give it ten years.
06:52The floor is warm in here.
06:54Oh, yes. The platform is temperature controlled for extreme conditions testing. Crank it to max and you can dry roast
07:01a turkey.
07:02You want me to turn it down?
07:03Oh, no thanks. It's rather pleasant, actually.
07:07Excuse me. David Somerset, fresh off the boat. What's this about?
07:12I'm a kinetics instructor. I teach the androids to understand and replicate human body language. Postures and gestures, facial micro
07:20-expressions, oculusics and haptics.
07:22Well, these are key to reduce the uncanny valley effect and devote genuine empathy towards our robotic companions.
07:28I like it better already. A glass wall looks delicate.
07:45Somerset, right? Newbie advice. Don't fret about making a mess. The automated system dispatches a cleaning robot from the utility
07:54area. No need to get down on your knees and scrub. You just focus on your research.
07:59Good tip. Thanks.
08:01Hey, science is messy.
08:14Hey, what are you testing?
08:16We're calibrating the android's strength and fine motor skills to handle unstable chemicals and fragile samples.
08:22This unit could do toxic waste disposal, assist in biocontainment labs, even conduct scientific studies in outer space.
08:30The sky is not the limit. Impressive.
08:33Especially when it works. Those chemicals are a pest to clean up.
08:52Hey, just doing the rounds. What are you testing?
08:55This android's outer shell is constructed from our new smart composite nanofibre material. Ultralight and shock absorbing. Damn near indestructible.
09:05We believe it will revolutionize space travel. But testing on human subjects would be far too dangerous. Obviously.
09:13Go on, have a crack.
09:14Don't mind if I do.
09:22Shooting range.
09:24All clear.
09:26Proceed with test.
09:35You can mess.
09:37Great. Just great.
09:40Now there's a sticky situation.
09:44Cleaning robot. Test area two. Cleaning robot. Test area two.
10:02Cleaning in progress.
10:05Hey! Who messed with the controls?
10:09Better be another laptop in storage.
10:13Time to turn up the heat.
10:16Is it just me or is it getting hotter?
10:19Jeez.
10:20Heating controls must be busted.
10:22It's like putting on hot coals in here.
10:26Cleaning in progress.
10:39Coast is clear.
10:41Motion detected.
10:44Activating dynamic impulse response sensors.
10:49Come on. Put your back into it.
10:51What other person?
10:51I thought I was trying to make it do the robot. I'll go fetch a broom.
10:56Hey, Ferguson. Your new arrival just made a complete mess of my session.
11:00Who? Somerset?
11:00Think so? He just took control of my unit and smashed the glass wall. Said he was trying to make
11:06it do the robot.
11:07That's Somerset. He cracks me up.
11:09You're not upset?
11:10Just go easy on him, okay? It's his first day.
11:13Unbelievable.
11:14Cleaning robot to test area one. Cleaning robot to test area one.
11:20Cleaning in progress.

12:41Cleaning in progress.
12:42This is you. Now you remember my death.
12:46Who's the joke now, Bond?
12:49Who's the bloody joke?
12:52What are you waiting for? Break the glass! Break it now!
13:14Send control panel to the lift.
13:16We're getting anywhere without the override key.
13:27This better work.
13:42Let's go.
14:13Right. Won't be getting one of those.
14:16Let's go.
14:39Attention all staff. This is a level two alert.

15:55the inconvenience.
16:03I'm more fans. They should lead to the lower levels.
16:21Let's stick to factory settings this time, shall we? Oh, no.
16:30Yes.
16:32Throw your weight around.
16:49No.
16:51No.
16:56Let's do it.
16:58Let's do it.
16:59Let's do it.
16:59Let's do it.
17:02Let's do it.
17:09We can't fix it.
17:10We can't kill it.
17:13Wait.
17:13What?
17:14Let's do it.
17:16So you should get back.
17:33Wreck, he's blocked.
17:34Gotta lower the bollards.
17:46I'll be sure. I'll make it easy.
18:02Secondly, not the active, but we're easy.
18:33It's Wrecky. It really came through.
18:44Gotta get inside that structure.
18:46Ideally, without being ground to a pulp.
18:49Gotta stop the centrifuge.
18:50The power source must be nearby.
18:54Great.
18:55Call them area.
