Adept Quattro Robot - World's Fastest Robot - SPEED

[SomeoneCommenting]

Fastest? Bah, you apparently have never seen an industrial robot welding the precision gold lead contacts in the terminals of a computer CPU during manufacturing.

[Thunderwolf666]

Sweet deal, next time I need my pool balls rearranged in an arbitrary fashion in a hurry, I'll know where to come!

[burrb]

my school has one of this robot

[Br00talSheep]

@burrb these

[zombierobopirate]

is this all preprogrammed or is there an AI component to what its doing

[sobeita]

How good is he at Chinese checkers?

[SadegoGG]

@sobeita

It's probably better at blackjack.

[brendakchavez]

This robot is widely used in manufacturing industries. Robots right now don't have a regular everyday practicality they are used usually in factories.

[jackdude1118]

and this benefits mankind how?

[sasukesan767]

@jackdude1118 i dunno, faster production in factories, prosthetic limbs, reactive vehicles, the list goes on and on

[JustChrisLTD]

You know how bowling lanes have machines that pick up pins- what if we have these to rack up and pick billiard balls on the table?

[videoddity]

hehe love that drumbeat!

[BF2OMG]

it sounds like SUPER HIGHSPEED FAPPING

[johannies7]

LOL

I think you need this in your life :D

[JensOverby]

Yes it is fast, but how does it perform with an item weight of 2 or 3 kg? I can model the dynamics of the delta robot, including rod forces, if you are interested. Check out my latest video :-)

[emtep]

-_- make a faster, stronger robot

duh

[chickenpoper]

cuase he sped up the video

[nenothespider]

really fast!

[stuartmc86]

Fuck me that's impressive!

[jigglesnap]

No thanks, buddy

[PrivateSlacker]

All that just the pick out the stripes ?

[fadayzfadayz]

yeah! thtas fast

[pionierhallo]

fast xD

[unbreakable2008]

perhaps if they add more "fingers" to the bottom portion, so that in each location it grabs more stuff and then carries more at a time in a new location... rearranges them and then lets them go...

[duffman2299]

D= woah....

[unbreakable2008]

why cant they go faster? the computers can give the instructions for the arms to move I think.. the motors can go very fast since they are also controlled by computer.. they may heat up but you can cool them with hydraulics.. so whats keeping them from having a robot where the motion is so fast its a blur to us?

[Madgyver2]

Because every time the robot arm changes its direction, there are acceleration forces (like when you are stepping on the break in a car, or when you take a turn). If the robot goes any faster, those forces get so strong, it rips it apart. This robot (called Delta robot, a special parallel robot) minimizes the forces by placing the heavy actuators at the base of it.

[unbreakable2008]

with nanotechnology new materials that will be lighter and stronger will be evolved...

But I am sure that the current materials can withstand more force, there are metal alloys used in jet motors that can handle a huge amount of force.. perhaps the eyesight- computing is still slow...

They should rig up a high speed camera at a few thousand frames per second and see how they can streamline it.

Deceleration in the form of smaller steps (like UBS) or some springing effect would help it go faster

[Madgyver2]

Sure, those new materials jut take their time to be properly developed.

Sure, the current materials can "withstand more force", but thats not the point. The point is to use a material with high tensil strength but very low weight. Also even before it all breaks apart, you have to consider precision. The forces bend the whole construction in many directions at the same time. There is no point in high speed if you r actuatoor is at the wrong position.

The robot above is near 6-7g accel. Deadly

[ProTeGeLeone13]

@Madgyver2 lolwut?

[gabydewilde]

That Epson Spider moves at blur speed. It depends a lot on the task.

Try counting to a million in one second for example. lol

Thats just 1 megahertz. Now try do it a thousand times faster.

[wonderlandink]

Counting to 1 million in one second is misleading as to what a megahertz really is in a modern computer.

[jmayyak]

This has to be real time. If you pay attention the the stripes balls, especially in the middle square. You can see how they spin or rotate after the arm puts them down.

This spinning action is definetly real time and not sped up (or it would look very very fake).

[CyrixLord]

If you watch other videos of similar robots you'll find that they're actually about this fast. very impressive, especially the ones that do real time sorting.

[BbiD]

this has in no way been fast forwarded has it guys (wink wink nudge nudge "i c what your doing dont worry i wont tell any its a secret shhhh")

[DustyGamma]

To prove video speed; perhaps putting a flag on it would be in order. Maybe one of those musical timing things, you know that tic and toc like an upside down clock... ohh what're they called... anyway a flag would demonstrate it well I should think.

[Danny011189]

metronome ;)

[mumeh]

Actually, this IS real-time video.  I was there during R & D for this product. See videos by "AdeptRobots" for more footage and information.

[EMTstaff]

They are fast but not that fast. This video is has the speed turned way up.

[usadan]

I saw that robot in real-life doing packaging--is as fast as it looks in this video.

[scancool]

that robot is more useless than tits on a nun,

[Pacober1]

its actually usefull for precision stuff, imagine the potential, that robot, with more improvement could probably preform surgery better than any human, in my opinion. all they would have to put an inverting tip so it could get better angles

[pallab1234]

It could be useful in the tits of a nun

[stiffcookie]

I love the terminology but you are wrong :)

[O0XFOREVER0O]

its really that fast..ive seen it before

[VideoJunkei]

Tell me that's not speed up 2X....I have seen other vids...

[Pekador]

turn off the speedy hack
