RSSDavid over at Boing-Boing spotted this jaw-dropping video of an experimental robot arm doing things that scare the bejeesus out of me. David writes:
Researchers from the Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory at the University of Tokyo presented this incredible video of a high-speed robotic hand at the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. The laboratory's Web site has many more videos related to this project, called Sensor Fusion. Sensor Fusion: High Speed Robots
For my money, the most impressive stuff is around 2:22, near the end.
There has been an interesting comments thread over on Hizook, the site that uploaded the video: http://www.hizook.com/blog/2009/08/03/high-speed-robot-hand-demonstrates-dexterity-and-skillful-manipulation

Amazing. We don't have a chance! LOL.
Seriously, I wonder what the power source and computational array for that look like, is it a room or computers and A/C power?
Could this be adapted to a prosthetic?
Just jaw-dropping to the point of seeming fake.
Again, wow.
