東京大學實驗室發明了一臺無敵剪刀石頭布機器手。這是由于機器的視覺捕捉和機器手指的反應速度比人類的腦手配合要快。截止到6月底，在YouTube網上，一段機器手“長勝不衰”的視頻吸引了網友超過300萬次的點擊。
TOKYO — Tokyo University laboratory has developed a robot that never loses at the game of Rock Paper Scissors. That is because its visual processing abilities and fingers work together faster than the synchronization of any human brain. A video of the undefeated robot has garnered more than 3 million views on YouTube since going online at the end of June.
Tokyo University engineering professor Masatoshi Ishikawa has a good-natured response to frustrated human losers who accuse him of essentially creating a robot that cheats.
"[It is] not cheating. Every one millisecond the image processor decides, recognizes the shape [the human hand is going to make]. And after one millisecond can make a winnable shape, one millsecond later than a human being. Only one millisecond. But a human cannot see this difference because the human eye is very slow," explained Ishikawa.
More dexterous abilities, combining repetition and near perfect accuracy are the epitome of robotics. At the Ishikawa Oku Laboratory there has been amazing progress in that direction. Such as a robot that can catch a falling egg without breaking it, another one that can tie a knot, and a robot that may not be quite ready for the NBA, but is able to dribble a ball.
