MIT's Jammable Robot Manipulator

MIT researchers present a robust, high-force, low-cost, and highly articulated manipulator based on reversible jamming of granular media. Part of the paper "Design and Analysis of a Robust, Low-cost, Highly Articulated Manipulator Enabled by Jamming of Granular Media," by N. G. Cheng et al, presented at the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Learn more: http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/ro...

Robotic penis?

[Hamking1]

I liked the part where it looked like a penis

Anyone else amused at 0:31

[MrNATHANTHEPIMP]

I think that's got promise. Maybe 3 or so next time so it doesn't look like a uncut dick.

[Taylor Roan]

Might try a different color...

Condom technology has come a long way since I was a kid.

0:30 so flaccid! lol

[CuervoBlack07]

Yeah but tentacle rapes only happen in Japan. The rest of us are safe.

If they put a gun on the end of it the robot can fuck and shoot at the same time!
