How To Tell Time With A Robot Arm, Round 2
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 24 of October , 2007 at 4:33 am
Although we’ve kinda seen this before, I was still impressed with how dainty this robot arm was as it placed each ball bearing, and then replaced them in their piles when the time changed. Even more impressive would be some faster servos that somehow let it operate on a 1hz as opposed to 1/60hz update speed (just imagine it!). I would be proud to have a clock like this in my home, especially if it could be hacked to play Chinese checkers.

That’s lovely. Is it from the Carnegie Mellon folks, too?

I’d love to be able to give credit where credit is due… Unfortunately, this was posted to YouTube with no additional information, so I can’t :(
