Amazing Robotics

August 24th, 2009 owen Leave a comment Go to comments

Just a short post today because the videos below don’t need any explanation. I just came across this next video while searching for something else this afternoon. The short video shows an amazing robot hand that can throw, catch, dribble a ball, twirl a pen and more! There is an enormous amount of research and development that has led to this and you may not realise just how hard it is to get a robotic device to do these things, but it is!

Here is the video, hope you enjoy it.

While on this topic another great robotics company is Boston Dynamics

Here are some videos of their robots: Boston Dynamics Robot Videos

Until next time
