New Robot Hand Makes Movies Seem More Likely

[Hamster at Dawn]

You do realise that in about 5-10 years people are gonna be able to buy robot hands for masturbation purposes? I sure as hell will!

Lol I don't think I'd want it to go that fast.

We'd better be careful, otherwise they'll have King Onis coming at us, and then we'll all be ruled by George Takei (positive karma to whoever gets that referece)

 

[Anarchemitis]

Well I'm impressed. Looks like robots are coming along marvelously.

 

[Yamiki]

What they are making Robot Ninjas already... not fair ... my Mecha Pirate isn't developed yet ...

In other news, Skynet seen cackling maniacally.

That's pretty goddamn cool though.

I'm excited for 500 years in the future when robots are still friendly as can be and humans are still the assholes predicting a robot apocalypse.

The only two things that have been fantastic at killing people mercilessly have been people and nature as a whole.

I'm pretty sure everything else is just wishing we'd stop blaming it for all our problems.

*pats killbot on the back* It's ok buddy...they'll stop accusing you someday.

i only have one request.

DO NOT FOR CHRIST SAKE MAKE THE ROBOTS IN BULLETPROOF MATERIAL.

thank you.

So...make them...out of pie?

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

...well, we're fucked.

 

[theultimateend]

...well, we're fucked.

If that's the case sign me up.

Oh...wait...you probably don't mean like I mean.

 

[Sonicron]

Damn, that's an amazing step. Wonder what's next? If they keep developing and improving upon all sorts of individual limbs, the last logical step in the chain of events would be combining them all, and voilá! We have the NS-4 from "I, Robot".

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Well that is already way better than I am, and does the whole thing dynamically!!!!!
What a pantscrappingly awesome robot.
I feel inferior already!

 

[v3n0mat3]

Why am I picturing that hand lashing out and choking someone?

 

[Ironic]

Oh yes, of course the University of Tokyo created an advanced robot hand.

I can see the legions of robot death machines already...

No way. It's Japan, you watched any Japanese TV EVER?!

They'll just make them solve rubix cubes REALLY fast before opening the trap-door and sending them down a mountain on a bob sled.

 

[Stevanchez]

They need to make one that I can play catch with.
I'm so lonely.

 

[RoyalStranger]

My Frankenstein complex just kicked into overdrive.

We are all fucking doomed.

This.


Not even fallout shelters and panic rooms will save us.

 

[Klagermeister]

The cell phone catching thing caught me completely off guard. That's amazing!!!
Plus, I saw Family Guy's "Bird is the Word" sketch in the related videos. This article was full of uberepicawesomeness.

 

[Icehearted]

They say AI is the hurdle here.

I say forget the AI, and BRING ON THE FEMBOTS!

 

[martin's a madman]

Hmm, interesting development. I would assume the robot has many faults that this video won't whow you. I believe we shouldn't get too hasty with robots. I think it would be wise to make them so they can't outperform average humans. Or at least be incredibly careful about what we develop.
