I would like to see this crazy robot play a match of table tennis with a human. Prepare to be amazed, these videos are unbelievable!

"Interactions in the real world (not only physical but also social and psychological interactions) are inherently parallel phenomena. By constructing models and engineering systems that take into account such parallelism, one can expect a better understanding of the real world as well as enhanced performance of systems when dealing with practical applications. These fundamental considerations lead us to concentrate on parallel processing for sensory information. Four main related topics are currently being explored in Ishikawa-Komuro Laboratory:
- Sensor Fusion theory and implementation in engineering systems;
- Dynamic Image Control Dynamic control of image based on high-speed visual information processing;
- Massively parallel image processing through a Vision Chip, which is capable of realizing high-speed real-time vision tasks on the basis of VLSI technology, and
- Meta Perception concerns ways of capturing, manipulating and presenting information which is normally inaccessible to humans and machines.
- (Past research on Optics in Computing: architectures that combine the advantages of optics and electronics to realize enormous computing throughput)."

This is realy amazing. I look forward to see more of this!

Just think when these start giving hair cuts. You wouldn’t know it messed up and cut off your ear until after the hair cut was done, and paid for.

This stuff is just freaky cool 😀 … Now we`ll see robots in rodeos that tie up a small bull in mater of “nanosec.” 😛
And for the baseball stuff … we`ll the batter will hit every time now I guess 😛 lol
Still research thou, but man it would be cool to see what or where as a product this stuff will end up.
Our own Ping Pong master trainer on a year ore two ? Can`t wait 😀
I whant one NOW! … Hack and mod it to do other cool stuff 😀

Wow. That is all

There is a better video (from ICRA 2009 robotics conference) over on Hizook.com — http://www.hizook.com/blog/2009/08/03/high-speed-robot-hand-demonstrates-dexterity-and-skillful-manipulation

Nice 🙂
