Robot Arms Hack ‘N Slash With Medieval Weaponry

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 12 of August , 2008 at 12:20 am

Yeah, uh, no idea what’s going on here, but it’s pretty freakin’ cool in a WTF sort of way. Can someone who speaks Japanese tell me how much I have to pay to get in there with my boffer sword and slice me up some robot ass arm?

The fuckers over at Geekologie stole the video and uploaded it as their own without so much as a mention of their source. Its a video I uploaded to Gametrailers before the weekend from one of Yaskawa’s business partner’s websites. Yaskawa is a Japanese company specializing in robot arms for manufacturing. This demonstration is obviously a game testing the player’s reflexes, the outcome being acted out by the arms.

I sent a link to you and other blogs earlier but it was ignored in favor of Geekologies’. Check out my blog for other interesting robot tidbits.
