I could respond to this video with musings on the implications of an ancient art form being practiced by the cold dead hands of a robot. But I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about where we’re all headed in a hand basket. At least the robot stopped short of practicing Bonsai — that’s some small comfort. And speaking of small, notice the size of the finished crane — as tiny as a penny. No wonder they let this thing perform surgery.
Impressive and freaky at the same time.
Well said. And this video is from 2006. Just think of the advances in robot origami in the last 5 years!
