Videos of FAST Robots

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.

Thanks for posting that. It brought a big smile.

When it’s dribbling the ball, it reminds me of this Wall-E vignette.

Truth is stranger than fiction?

So how about Wall-E playing Breakaway?
