Finally: Video Of Motoman Playing With Legos

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 16 of December , 2009 at 12:59 am

I’ve been hoping for a video of Motoman playing with LEGOs ever since I saw this picture from IREX 2009, and I’m definitely not disappointed. Motoman’s high resolution color cameras and object recognition make picking out and connecting LEGO pieces easy, and I especially like how he’s able to get the pieces with one hand while assembling the building (or whatever it is) with the other. Next time, though, they should give Motoman one of these and see how he does… That would impress me. And the rest of the world.

Its very impressive how it can use vision to workout how to pickup the blocks (as well as working out what kind of block its dealing with). It looks like its taking assembly line robots to the next level.

He/it is playing with LEGO, what he is not doing is playing with LEGOS. They are called LEGO bricks, or just LEGO. There are no such things as LEGOS.

Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any manner you possibly can remove me from that service? Thanks!
