It can only pick up the special thing that was designed for it to pick up, but it's still awesome. Maybe in 20 years it will be as versatile as a real elephant's trunk.
I have no idea why that comment got 22 thumbs up but oh well.
With the ageing problems we have here in Europe and Japan (and to a lasser extent the USA) I say the day we put all these robots to work while they fetch me a nice cold beer can't come soon enough.
They say they might want to use this in automotive plants
I say:
Now instead of financial issues causing layoffs of North american jobs, We can see Doctor Octopus putting these people out of work in his new sinister plot to destroy spiderman.
Reminds me of the Terminator 2 ride at Universal where the robot hands tuck in the little girl. Except in my mind they crush her skull as Skynet takes over.
