Posted by michael on from the reading-over-my-shoulder dept.

Makarand writes "Robotic digitization systems are the new help available to complete voluminous scanning tasks. Robots that can turn the pages of books and newspaper volumes and attain scanning speeds of more than 1000 pages/hour are now available. They even use puffs of compressed air to separate sticky pages!"

    I saw it too, several years ago. It's working title was Johny-5.

    The silly thing claimed to be alive, so someone from hollywood thought it would make for a heartwarming story and made a movie out of it.
