Now attach that hand to a fully animatronic robot, and we’re in business. Hopefully we get a second hand out of the deal…

This is spookier than the Boston Dynamics robots.

It’s more impressive when you have some 8 year old kid do it blind folded.

Give him a break using two hands, they are small.

Pretty excruciating to watch.

I imagine late Saturday night the robotics lab can be a lonely yet satisfying place to be.

I believe it was Russ Meyer (in an interview with Elwy Yost) who described his cinema audience as “one-armed readers”.

Not really apropos to any of this, just thought I’d share.

Carry on.

Or this dude, who does it one handed on the subway while reading stuff on his phone.

Amazing work they’re doing for disabled robots these days.

Looking at this now I think “most humans with a little training could do the object-manipulation-part much faster and more efficiently” then I realized it probably won’t be long until the robots pass us there, won’t be long until robots can do things like this faster and more precise, even using inferior hardware. Scary thought.
