Sleight of Hand, Robot Style
     


Rog-a-matic sent
a link to some really fast robot hands. This is a
YouTube video from our friends at BotJunkie.
Sure, it's made the
rounds of Gizmodo, Popsci, and digg, but if you haven't seen it yet,
it's still worth watching. The hardware was developed at the University
of Tokyo's Ishikawa
Komuro Lab. If the name sounds familiar it's because these are the
same folks we mentioned back in August 2005 with the robot hand that can catch 300
kph fastballs and rotate 180 degress in a tenth of second. It took a
few years but we finally have video of the hands in action!
