The ball-catching robot is the third one down. I think it is amazing that we are actually getting somewhere in the field of robotics, and that America should step up it's game.
I assume I should probably give examples. While Germany was working on catching balls, America is working on things like remote controlled aircraft and other military things, for example.
I've noticed this past decade or so we really seem to be making some headway in the field. I think it's a good thing, it's been pretty stagnant for a while. Also the programming needed to allow such actions can go into other things besides robots. For example a self driving car.
Technology is advancing rapidly. It's kind of scary to think what robots and robotics will be like in a couple of decades. They'll be everywhere, from art to war.
I hate Portal...its GLaDOS (Wheatley and Cave Johnson also) who keeps it going. (It excites me when she insults me...no Im joking)
In all reality, Im glad the world is moving in an advanced direction...I just hope we dont start weaponizing robots. (NOT PORTAL RELATED...those turrets are funny though) Might not end well.
