WOW! Click for a great video of Three-Finger Robot Hand-Eye Coordination.My still video captures do not do justice to the amazing performance.
The photos show:
o Tossing and catching a cell phone
o Bouncing a ball faster than the eye can see
o Throwing a ball into a basket
This is a video well worth watching!
See more information and videos at Ichikawa Komuro Laboratory (University of Tokyo).We have become used to machines that are stronger than we humans, and computers that are faster and have greater memory capacity.
However, this Robot Hand-Eye Coordination system is an example of dexterity that will greatly exceed the speed and precision of anything a human hand and eye (and eventually entire human body) can do.
Our Eye/Brain/Muscles cycle no faster than 1/10 second. This thing can go at 1/100 or 1/1000 second. Order of magnitude improvements that will only continue to accellerate.
