im confused, are they boasting accuracy of robotic arms behind a human controller? or the ability of a 100% ai robot

[Vegeta897]

Human controller? Tell me you're joking.

The point of the video is that not only is it freakishly fast (beyond human hand/reaction speed) but that's it's surprisingly accurate.

Though it does look kind of clumsy in slow motion. At least the bouncing ball parts.

Now send the aimbots to fight in Iraq.

This is great. We should send them to Iraq to bounce balls and grab things.

There is no human controller , thats kind of the point .
Heres another video by the same engineering team that shows tool manipulation http://www.k2.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/fusion/tool_manipulation/index-e.html .

A human being recognizes external environment by using many kinds of sensory information. By integrating these information and making up lack of information for each other, a more reliable and multilateral recognition can be achieved. The purpose of Sensor Fusion Project is to realize new sensing architecture by integrating multi-sensor information and to develop hierarchical and decentralized architecture for recognizing human beings further. As a result, more reliable and multilateral information can be extracted, which can realize high level recognition mechanism.

so you see they're trying to mimic/extend the sensory information that humans make use of , having a human controller would defeat that purpose.

pssh ive seen faster by HUMANS

This beats the shit out of the robotic manipulation stuff being done by my university:

Now send the aimbots to fight in Iraq. No! They might get banned!

[CyberPitz]

This is so freaking awesome.

[Warped]

this is both cool and scary at the same time
