Robotlab Juke Bots

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 15 of December , 2008 at 8:25 am

There is apparently no limit to the creative ways that one can use a KUKA robotic arm (or two). So, why not turn a couple into what have got to be some of the world’s most complicated and expensive record players? As you might expect, the “juke_bots” do more than just play music: they can autonomously “delay, accelerate, fragment, and distort” the tunes, and swap out different records whenever they feel like it. And they feel like it, apparently, when you throw money at them. Yes, that’s right, these robots operate on tips.

Industrial robots requiring tips… If this catches on, we’re in some serious trouble.

well clearly mary, you can see as they enter the water that robot 2 is slightly out of line with robot 1 and thus makes a bigger splash.

i give them about a 5 1/2 for synchronized diving.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
