    Why not just use pressure sensors in the finger tips of the robot? Then set a limit to how much psi it can register before picking up

      Wouldn’t that only allow for objects of a specific density?

    The title for this video was trimmed to “Hard for a robot – easy F…”. Rather odd truncation!

    Just appreciate God’s craftsmanship, because the biggest of teams of humans can’t even mimick what God can make in a day.

    I hate this video.

    Can you eat soup with a utensil? Well actually no not all utensils are able do this, as you can see this fork is unable to contain the liquid.

    There’s numerous mechanisms that would make both of these things possible, of course it’s going to be hard to use a machine for a purpose it wasn’t designed for.

    If I see this bot working I‘m no longer concerned about them replacing 50% of jobs in a blink of an eye.

    This is exactly why the Tesla bot showcase recently was even more impressive. The bot was showcasing fine motor manipulation and making changes in real time based on environmental changes.
