Robot arm versus Samurai Sword Master
I ran across this video a month or so ago. Since I blogged yesterday about how robotics will take over lots of human jobs in the coming years, its wise to see just how good robotics can be. I first saw a sword master cutting rolled bamboo mats as a kid in person. It's freakin' amazing how good these guys (and gals) are, and how sharp and strong a katana is. But this clip blew my mind. I give the flower cut to the swordmaster. But the pea pod cut is just plain amazing.
A couple of lessons here: Don't piss off a Japanese kendo master or a blue robotic arm holding a katana. The longer term lesson is, if a robotic arm can be this precise, what jobs won't it be able to do in our future world?
