Amazing Robotics

August 24th, 2009 owen No 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.

Until next time
