I wandered over to Gizmodo's website to learn a bit more about the iPhone 4.0 prototype that some poor Apple employee appears to have left in a bar, and ended up gawking at some really cool video of fast acting robots.

The first video, of the packaging machine, is cool... but check out the robotic hand just a bit lower down the page. At the end of the video it tosses a cell phone in the air... then, using vision and tactile sensors, snags it mid flight.
Wow.
