freaked.gif·Wow bloody Wee.........WOW WOW

This is not to do with the Propeller per se, BUT...it is as impressive
as the propeller+Spin is.

Watch this video
http://www.hizook.com/blog/2009/08/03/high-speed-robot-hand-demonstrates-dexterity-and-skillful-manipulation

I almost do not believe it....especially the way
it catches the falling rolling cell phone.

HOW??? does it manage to catch it by the sides????

After watching this video I now realize that anything
I am doing or going to do is POINTLESS.....I give up
I am just going to go sailing and forget it all....

There is no way EVER would I even come close to
achieving anything 1 millionth as impressive.....

    Very cool but this should probably be moved to the Robotics forum or the Sandbox.

    hm - very impressive surely.

    somehow some characters get lost in the link

    High-Speed Robot Hand Demonstrates Dexterity and Skillful Manipulation


    But somehow I assume somehow fresh
    well with at least some years of researching 8 hours a day 5 days a week
    I think you can achieve this too.

    How can I say that ?
    from the experience that I have a totally average IQ and I managed a diploma of a mechanical engineer.
    Learning a lot about thermodynamics, mechanics, mathemathics, system-simulation
    etc, etc, it took me some years to do so but I've learned it all and graduated.

    Now I'm 40 years old and graduate again as a teacher for mathemathics and
    "Metalltechnik"

    And so I think as long as I do not get dement or alzheimer I can learn a lot of things
    it will take more and more time with getting older but I CAN learn it.
    The limiting factor might be that you have to earn money and this already takes
    8-11 hours a day. But you CAN learn it.

    best regards

    Stefan

    I think the scary part is how the robot hand went from ponderously and kind of clumsily hardly being able to do anything useful a generation ago - skipped straight over being equally as good as a human hand - to being faster, more accurate and more dextrous than a human hand in this video. Either it can't bounce a ball at all or it can bounce a ball a thousand times a second and you can't even follow it with your puny human eyes.

    It's not AI - but you can suddenly see what they are on about with the idea of a singularity - in the same week that AI is able to operate as intelligently as a human mind - they will be 100 times smarter than us.

    Looks like MIT stuff. Just think what they can't show you.
