This badboy, from Japanese start-up SCHAFT Inc, will be competing in the upcoming DARPA Robotics Challenge (article + video clip)
And we have a winner here on This Week in Creepy Robots!
It looks like Elysium just might play into my deepest, darkest robot fears.
Even creepier.
These bots be buggin’!
Some of the creepiest robots ever
This robot is very creepy and VERY REAL.
Seeing this bot from CMU come at me, my first thought would not be “Rescue is on the way,” but rather “It’s coming to destroy us!”
Video: Robotic sausage factory.
(OK, salami actually). High-speed ABB FlexPicker robots equipped with specially developed grippers are making sure that Peperami salamis are packaged at the highest cycle rates at Unilever’s plant in Ansbach, Germany.
The robots are fitted with triple grippers which are able to pick up three randomly positioned salami snacks one after the other from a conveyor belt in a one step process, and place them individually in a rollstock machine.
The positioning and location data required comes from an upstream image processing system which is positioned to capture the information on the individual sausages and pass it on to a master computer.Skip to 0:56 for the grippers in action.
Thanks Axeman72 for the link!
Yes, this footage does kind of creep me out, but it also makes me very hungry. I, for one, WILL welcome our new robot overlords … if they offer me sausages.
I can never pass up an opportunity to reblog this … thing … which is, hands down, the creepiest robot ever.
