That's "laser SINTERING" (look it up on Wiki). The laser fuses (sinters) metallic powder in consecutive layers to make the programmed solid shape. This deposition method is one particular way (among many others) that allows 3d printing to produce solid objects.
@walterjennings True. i never thought of it like that. But can rapid prototyping ramp up to the mass production scales that are generally required (afaik) to make production economical/profitable?
@zever not very technical. The entire arm is basically just tough balloons, i'm sure similar simple designs could be made with injection moulding instead of the (expensive) rapid prototyping machine they used to make this one. The complex bit is the valves and the control electronics/software, but luckily the valves are all kept in a single compact box. The software will be the best part, as it can be continually updated and improved. With such a new bot, i'm sure there's be a lot of that.
Holy Shit Doctor Octopus claws. He have to make sure Alfred Molina stays at least 20 yards away from one of these at all times for our own safety. Or put him and 4 of them in the same room together and see what happens for our own pleasure.
man die englische stimme ist soooo überzeugende Stimme und dann hört ich die dialektreichen stimmen im hintergrund da könnte ich mich nur weghauen. Das ding scheint irgendwie weder interaktiv noch nützlich noch schnell zu sein. aber vielleicht was positives sie benutzten makerbot zum bauen also wenn se es schaffen etwas etwas brauchbare hinzukriegen kanns sich dann hoffentlich jeder selber bauen ;). Bisher hab ich noch nie was robotähnliches gesehen was billig ist.
You can definitely make an ARG with these

2:15 Inspiration in nature? Bullshitttt they watched Spider-Man 2 and thought that looked wicked cool.
Doctor octopus!

These Festo guys watched too much Spider-man 2.
Dr. Octopus would be proud.
@5:36 "He will..."
Seems appropriate that the tentacle robot is a "HE".
how much cost? ?
if all the nurses are like that then sindelfingen is where i wanna go when i get sick
That's the Festo egg! =D
its Doctor Octopus arm!
awesome, but i find more interesting the airic's arm.

"laser centering"? it's called 3d printing
Really amazing thing, but i think, that material is not very strong, like a Doctor Octopus claws.
Robot apocalypse, here we come.
nice but very technological and a bit poor on possible implementations examples

You can't speak until you have the "talking egg". Should the "talking egg" break, all must remain silent.
but that one wasn't made of plastics! (well, it probably was... XD)
die Beispiele sind ja wohl schwach
