FANUC M-1iA Picker Robot

If you need to have something picked up and put down again very quickly and in a slightly different place over and over again, the M-1iA could very well be the robot for you. The latest industrial offering from FANUC features six axes of movement in a package that weighs only 17 kg, ideal for installation in your factory, kitchen, or bedroom. It has a built-in vision system that allows it to precisely locate small objects and move them, perfect for assembling little things with lots of bits like 10-key keyboards:

And, uh, I have no idea what it’s doing at the end of the assembly process in that video, but it kinda freaks me out. More freaky video of robots like this, after the jump.
