“One day, robots will take over the world” - anon
Scientists have predicted it. Hollywood has profited from it (Matrix, Terminator, I-Robot). And the Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory in Japan is bringing us one step closer to our inevitable doom. The three videos below are just a taste of what robots are capable of. Armed with a high-speed real-time vision system that computes images within a millisecond; a super-dexterous high-speed hand that can move its joints 180 degrees in a tenth of a second; the robotic hand is a machine to be marveled……. and feared! Did we mention this technology has been in development for over five years? Check out the videos below to see the highly impressive robotic hand in action, AMAZING!
Be sure to check out the ISHIKAWA KOMURO LABORATORY for more amazing projects. They are doing incredible work with robotics and their latest projects have the robotic hands tying knots and throwing/hitting balls!
