He’s A Bit Slow But Intelligent..

This robot is interesting to watch if you don’t fall asleep first…LOL

But just imagine having one of these help you put together those toys after opening birthday or Christmas presents.

The EU Joint-Action Science and Technology project (JAST) is developing robots that can engage in joint activities with humans or other robots, to complete tasks through teamwork. Their latest demonstration (see video above) shows their progress with a robot that observes and predicts a human working on a project. The robot identifies the components the human is using and the likely result of assembling the components. The robot then assists the human with the work, locating parts as they are needed, and providing them to the human. The idea is to give robot the capacity for “observation and mirroring (resonance)”.

If you’ve ever written a computer program, then you know just how much code goes into moving just the arm of this robot, let alone the fingers, voice, head, etc…  It’s brain boggling.
