Slashdot Mirror
Japanese Researchers Build Rock-paper-scissors Robot That Wins 100% of the Time
slew writes "Although the robot technically cheats because it watches your hand and can recognize what shape you are intending to make and beat it before you even know what is happening. Apparently it takes about 60ms for you to shape your hand, but the robot can recognize the shape before it is completed, and only takes 20ms to counter your shape so the results appear to the human opponent to be virtually simultaneous. I wonder how difficult it would be to add lizard and spock to the mix.... ;^)."

So the human player has no incentive to change away from the Nash equilibrium of 1/3,1/3,1/3.
When researchers build a rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock robot. Then I'll be impressed.
Can we have a robot that checks for duplicate stories?
Robot Hand Beats You At Rock, Paper, Scissors 100% of the Time

Since Rock-Paper-Scissors dates back to the time of the Chinese Han Dynasty, the Japanese built this in order to diplomatically resolve the dispute with China over the Senkaku Islands.
Actually: in Japan, there's a "strip-poker" variant of rock-paper-scissors. The loser of each round removes an article of clothing. The game is a minor part of porn culture in Japan.
Once again, porn drives innovation!

I saw this episode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_of_the_Daleks </obscure>
We'll have to wait until the robot that detects duplicate posts about duplicate stories is completed.

Block the camera's vision by putting your other hand in the way.
But can the robot use pen missile?
I dutifully flagged this as a dupe in the firehose before it made it to the front page. Lot of good it did!
All that money and time that could be spent making Gundam a reality, was wasted on this pointless thing..
This robots offers "pull my finger" for gestures it doesn't recognize.

How is it at rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock?
Because they haven't played 100% of hands with 100% of possible opponents. Dame!
If you show it the secret hand signal the robot will "Go Kabuki" and and make you a "Hot Saki" and a "Spicy Hand Roll".

You have to duplicate your flag in order for the dupe to be considered a dupe.

as a Slashdot reader, I hope we could get 100% new articles!

Dice doesn't have dedicated slashdot editors anymore. They are editors of a dozen or so sites. Really now, what kind of quality do you expect now that they've sold out and now monetize the web synergies to create a new market paradigm of customer-focused informational advertisements?

Just curious if it's susceptible to feints, or if it reacts even too quickly for that.
I recall someone else already did this years ago.
Back in 2009, the same researchers had this hand doing all sorts of crazy dexterous motions... dribbling, pencil flipping, throwing & catching, etc: http://www.hizook.com/blog/2009/08/03/high-speed-robot-hand-demonstrates-dexterity-and-skillful-manipulation
What if he play with another one with the same model. Do they win 50% of the time?
Title should read: "Japanese researchers build Rock-paper-scissors robot that cheats 100% of the time"
"If you think the problem is bad now, just wait until we've solved it." --- Arthur Kasspe
This is a new model that is able to make predictions faster!!!! geez, does anyone RTFA??? Or maybe there are some here that cannot believe that the Japs can do something better than the Yanks? Just saying.
The first real-world application of this device will be in one of "those" doll/robots with the special moving parts.
And it won't be located at the end of an arm, either. ;-)
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
In Korea, only old people play rock-paper-scissors with robots.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Have it play against itself, then we'll see some small values of 100%.
Stop, don't write that again, there are just somethings not read before going to work. Now I'll have executive speak in my brain all day....damn you...damn you to HR.
Life is a great ride, the vehicle doesn't matter
Don't fib, that's hardly a penis missile. More like a AAA battery.
This is not just cool, but it's as cool as it was A YEAR AGO when it was on Slashdot for the first (or maybe second) time.

Japan's rapidly-ageing population gives money to researchers to build robotic servants that address the lack of young people to look after them in years to come... and gets rock-paper-scissors-bot instead.

Sorry, but if you want a robot maid from Japan, it's going to be a sex bot.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
and likely have tentacles
slashdot had editors?? i fail to see what has changed...
They can compile EMACS just like EVERYONE ELSE, GODDAMN IT!
Dice doesn't have dedicated editors anymore.
And they're changing their name to RockPaperScissors.com
Hey bro. I heard you liked duplicating. So I duped your dupe so you can dupe while you dupe..... Did I get that right? haha
Damn, now I lost my train of thought, instead I'm thinking about a sex bot that reacts to me before I even make a move.
'Thinking' is probably the wrong term.
If you change the shape while coming down? So on 3, you stick your fingers out for scissors and then switch immediately to a rock?
Is it just me or does anyone else out there see the ridiculousness of giving attention this toy when Japanese brainpower needs to go into solving the ongoing Fukushima crisis?
I believe that sex dolls are being worked on. They have the dead fish (they just lay there) ones now. The movable ones always ready for you are being worked on now.
When the ghost in shell sex dolls are out the world will end. Those models will first seduce you. Then screw your brains out. Then blow your brains out. If you are really unlucky all of that will happen in less then five minutes.
Great. Robots telling you what you are doing wrong before you do it.
Lets see the test done with the human hand held still in front of the robot hand and not waving around or flying toward the robot to signal the start of the game, and the gesture not overly-dramatically done, and have the robot triggered from a verbal cue just like the human. Yes, I get that the Japanese love robot tech. But this isn't good robot tech, and it's certainly not good science, it's just rigged pseudo-drama.
It just plain cheats. Or did you mean it cheats in a highly technical manner?

Get beyond the misleading title. This is a system that reads body language, and reacts extremely quickly. Forget rock, paper, scissors, this could be applied in some interesting and important ways.
I think they feed robot with a cheatcode so that he can win all the time. It's like GOD MOD on.
