The section of the video where the robotic arm "plays ball" really impressed me due to the kind of playfulness which it exhibited. Beyond being impressed by the fluid actuator system I was just starting to be amazed at the programming involved with making a robotic arm that can show such accuracy to "catch" the ball and roll it back but also do it in such a playful manner..... then the camera zooms out and shows that the arm was being controlled by a human. Damn.
* I'm at working and watched the video with out sound, so maybe I missed as it was explaining what was going on.
- cwe 12y agoI was surprised by that too, but then later in the video it shows the other arm that was being controlled by a human hand. It appears to mirror that arms movement, which is why it looked so human.
- adventured 12y agoMy take on it, which might be wrong, was that the units can learn repetitive motion from another tracking bulb (in which case, it was learning from the girl playing the musical toy, copying her motions).
- Retric 12y agoNo, they use zero electronics it's a pure analog system for now.
- pwnna 12y agoThe fact that you can have something responsive enough to mirror human movement is very impressive.
- tinco 12y agoYou'll be amazed when you see the video of this device. It's accurate enough to mirror human hand writing! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph
