I don't know if this will be as useful as they say but damn is it cool.
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;51279769]I don't know if this will be as useful as they say but damn is it cool.[/QUOTE] Not sure they aim to expand on it, a lot of demos are done just for the sake of doing them. This small set is probably ridiculously expensive as-is.
The rig under the table is a massive network of pulleys and columns connected by a web of wires if I remember correctly. There are some other videos demonstrating the construction of the system. Really cool stuff.
it's cute???
it would be interesting to see what would happen if you were to give an ai a lot of blocks and see what they will make
Why the hell this look incredibly cool and cute at the same time?
Would make an interesting massage table.
Capature would shure make use of these for testing, more testing!!
It seems cool, but not exactly a huge deal technology wise; more of a fun toy than a new amazing invention.
