High-Speed Robot Hand Shows Dexterity and Speed

Posted by kdawson on Sunday August 23, 2009 @06:01PM from the think-fast dept.

An anonymous reader tips a blog posting that begins "A few blogs are passing around videos of the Ishikawa Komuro Lab's high-speed robot hand performing impressive acts of dexterity and skillful manipulation. However, the video being passed around is slight on details. Meanwhile, their video presentation at ICRA 2009 (which took place in May in Kobe, Japan) has an informative narration and demonstrates additional capabilities. ... [It] shows the manipulator dribbling a ping-pong ball, spinning a pen, throwing a ball, tying knots, grasping a grain of rice with tweezers, and tossing / re-grasping a cellphone!"

I was so supposed to see that this wasn't developed by AFRICANS.
What with them being just as intelligent as the other races.
Good luck when your country is 90% black.
I'm sure your children will be overjoyed to be benefitting from all that 'diversity'...
