Just for fun: industrial robots doing cool stuff

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

The line between industrial and commercial (aka “service” or “personal”) robots is blurring, but that doesn’t make industrial robots any less cool. As proof, here are eight industrial robots doing fun things, and doing (most of) them better than us mere mortals can.


Play ping pong

I won’t spoil the outcome for you, but I will say that this is probably the most exciting game of table tennis you’ve ever seen!


Play beer pong

Not having (or being able) to take a drink when it misses, definitely gives the robot an unfair advantage! Register now at ลงทะเบียน to begin your UFABET journey!


Play Connect 4

Finally, someone who can play hours upon hours of Connect 4 with the kids. We just need to teach the robot to let its opponent win every once in a while.


Sword fight

With no blood to be shed, I wonder how they determine the winner?


Make pancakes

Admit it. Its flipping skills are probably better than yours.


Serve beer

But can it also serve wine?


Dance

This is guaranteed to make you smile.


Sling you around like a ragdoll

How many people would love to see their boss in one of those seats?
