- A robot developed by EPFL researchers is capable of reacting on the spot and grasping objects with complex shapes and trajectories in less than five hundredths of a second.

My friends comment "Cool. Now they can add robot arms to our car. If someone gets to close, the arm can be like 'Whoa, back off'". She doesn't want a self driving car, she just wants one that can road rage for her.
Amazing movement and amazing teaching!!
0/10 Was waiting for the robot to smack the lady with the tennis racket at the end, dreams crushed.
now send it to space to catch meteors. I think i'll watch Soccer or Hockey if it had a robot goalie
You should already be watching those. Hockey at least. Why would you watch if the save rate would be 100% every game? That'd get boring real quick.
By far still my favorite field of robotics. The field where the machine learns from watching not being programmed.
It's also the future of most robotics #huzzah
can it catch feelings tho
notice the very first application she notes is "catching people..."(from running, or swinging something)... "who are in danger, of falling"
...or getting away.
Awesome project, great job!
I could watch this robot catch things for HOURS.
I wish I could see humanity 1000 years from now. This stuff is happening so fast these days, I cannot imagine what we will be like in the distant future.
extinct
Umm we will probably wiped out by nuclear wars over necessities Like water or fossil fuels

A new energy source can replace fossil fuels and create unlimited drinking water with desalination. I think a new energy source is more likely than a nuclear war.
Optimist :) You assume that we don't overexhaust the planet's resource base before that...
I agree with ya. Wish I could too.
*SICK!*
that arm has influanced the lady a lot - no unnecessary symptoms, anyway congrats
Nice work.
ivve got a few of these they'e good! thanks for sharing!
this is real technology, not the latest iphone etc
Would love to see more video catching different size and materials
nice work!
can you please recommend me the camera that can be used with arduino and matlab for image processing.Please do reply!
Very cool!
That's pretty neat!
Amazing !
"Too much of anything is eventually bad." One day technology will go too far.
...For the big question...Can it catch a politician lying?
I would like a 10 hour version of this thing catching stuff in the air
would like to see a display or graphical prediction of the object based on the cameras
You have 15 seconds to comply...
Sure except, unlike reality, you have passive tracking markers on all the objects. I always thought people should have IR reflectors bolted to their skulls at birth just for this purpose.
+ElTurbinado agreed. this is a crude example of A.I, but most people will think it is something incredible when it is certainly not
So COOL!
those scientist do amazing stuff
We're this much closer to building giant mecha robots like in the movie Alien. oh, you want to move that pallet of drums? sure. oh, you want to choke-hold an acid-spitting monster? sure.
Today it grabs small objects out of the air. Tomorrow it grabs spines from they're bodies.
image factories with this technology installed throwing parts around
Good! Now make it work with two cameras, no sensors on the objects being thrown and working with "body hair", that is ambient air movement sensors.
Screw body hair. Internal RADAR would be far superior to sensors that use sight, touch or hearing.
I'm working on this for homework tomorrow. My classmates would be fascinated over this.
Are u still there over 7 years?
I'm a catcher for the New York Yankees and that robotic arm TOOOK MY JOBBB!
Not sure why, but I found this video funny as hell
Set up two of these and have an infinity game of Ping-Pong!!!
Whatcha doin?
Nothin. Just playing catch with my robot.
Interesting. I wonder what amount of data points per second the robot interprets during the human teaching part.
I was waiting to see it catch a fly
the technology is really advanced!
Just imagine the things it could do for anyone !
And so it begins: the TERMINATOR is born!
does anybody know what are those gray things on the racquet at 0:52?
Give it a fly swatter!
you can also mount it on a tank to catch and pitch back grenades
KUKA, the silent leader of industrial robotics.
The Aliens from Toy Story are gonna FLIP!!!!
A self aware robot with a hand. great...
Do you want Terminators? Because this is how you get Terminators.
can someone tell me what major is needed to pursue a career in building robots like this?
this will work great as long as we put those little ball sensors on everything on earth
Now program it to do Kung Fu and I'll buy one as my body guard.
Probably to a certain existent, but remember Chaos Theory and Non-Linear eqautions? Those will be hard to overcome!
I thought this robotic arm was going to help my tennis forehand!
so many dialects in one video
This is the beginning of utopia. Once we have robot workers that can work for free and forever, imagine what humanity might accomplish.
even more unemployment
fkoff yotube funny i typed a close comment to yours, because yours did not show up lol then i had to delete it after seeing your comment
utopia? you mean skynet!!! judgment day is coming people!!!!
Finally my masturbating arm can have a break phew!
Enigma w the arm learns movement partners. it's not just limited to catching things.
It learned to catch by practicing and watching.
No more having to play catch with little billy. Just send him out with roboto arm!
I can't wait to see it start delivering babies.
they already had that in japan since a long time ago
"...of course this controller can be
used for many different applications, typically catching people in danger of falling"
Imagine throwing an infant at this arm hundreds of times so it learns how to catch a human correctly..
I'd like the catgirl version, take my money.
Heym a good ideia. play 2 ball throght the robot of diferent colors. And them tell the robot to grab only the object of the specific color. After that update to grab only specific objects/shapes
AND SO BEGINS SKYNET
More people needs English classes. To learn more about pronunciation and having a conversation in (international) English. Thats the future for mankind!
I can smell robot spiderman in the future
This is absolutely incredible.
no
Vaya! Vamos por buen camino...
I for one welcome our new robotic overlords
ALL HAIL OUR ROBOT OVERLORDS!!!
even catching incoming sniper bullet
howard wolowitz says be careful with the k y jelly
How close are we to getting to badass robot arms.
The future is always coming!
Cool.
Oh my god its happening already!
thats SKYNET hand!!! end is near!! john were are you!!
What tablet / operator interface is that at 00:23?
Great work! However there is another challenge with this project to make it a practical application: positioning of the objects. In these videos, they are using Motion Capture System for positioning, and it is available only in special labs. In real-world, there is no such system.
Howard Wolowitz will be happy about the upgrade.
that robot in the military... some one throws a grenade, it caches it, and throws it back lol
Now see if it can catch a fast ball from a baseball pitcher.
They should install this on top of every trash can, so we can just throw our rubbish in the general direction of the bin and it'll catch it and put it in. That would be sweet!
2020 Bullet catching robots
We're so dead.
finally someone gets it.
Austin VonMohr IKR
Now the robots have a harvesting tool to pick up humans.
Skynet approves!!
The next step: teaching it to throw. Then you have something that can juggle!
With these innovations we'll probably just use them to make a sandwich.
I can only imagine how fast that kuka robot is. I run a kuka robot for the use of laser cladding and I can make the robot move 200 meter per second!!! So imagine how fast that little bot can move... wow great job guys.
common, it even has access to UV tracking markers on the object
All very interesting but when will they be able to do the same thing without the motion capture balls? Good show none the less.
Good
And the first Cylon model was born...
Its Begun
But the objects have to contain sensors like those ones on the video?
Reminds me when Howard borrowed the robot arm, then got "stuck"...ref Big Bang
We should throw objects at the scientists as a comparison
This is developing Andronics
