Re: Now THIS is a robot!

Notice how I said that I really enjoyed the VIDEOs... it's not real... I don't think.

However, for anyone who has seen any industrial robots, things that are this large are indeed capable of moving this fast and fluid in real life. Minus catching the car... I don't think many of these are particularly far fetched. I don't think this is nearly far out there as people make it seem.

The sketches that he's using and the related formula are actually quite accurate. He's sketched out jacobian matricies for link acceleration and velocities. They certainly aren't random forumulae, on the contrary, they're exactly what you'd use for this sort of problem.

Reviewing the whole site outside of the video, including the interview, make it seem much more pluasable than a video would make it seem.

Just some food for thought. And... I see it's already been posted by Brandon on CD before. My bad!
