Default [Hizook] High-Speed Robot Hand Demonstrates Dexterity and Skillful Manipulation

Quote:
A few blogs are passing around videos of the Ishikawa Komuro Lab's high-speed robot hand performing impressive acts of dexterity and skillful manipulation. However, the video being passed around is slight on details. Meanwhile, their video presentation at ICRA 2009 (which took place in May in Kobe, Japan) has an informative narration and demonstrates additional capabilities. I have included this video below, which shows the manipulator dribbling a ping-pong ball, spinning a pen, throwing a ball, tying knots, grasping a grain of rice with tweezers, and tossing / re-grasping a cellphone!
I've included several different sources on this one (set of) robot(s).

But seriously, that stuff is freaky looking

I saw "[Hizook] High-Speed Robot Hand Demons..." in the news section and was really confused at first.

That is pretty cool though.
