VOTW: Robot Makes Tiny Paper Aeroplane
The only thing better than tiny robot hands that operate to save lives are tiny multi-talented life-saving robot hands that can also make paper aeroplanes.
If you’re in the medical profession, you might recognize the machine in this week’s Video of the Week. The da Vinci surgical robot provides surgeons with the kind of precision that cannot be matched by the gloved, golden-hands of even the most talented surgeon. He also makes paper aeroplanes.
Of course, one could argue that the impressive part of all of this is the skill exhibited by Dr. James Porter, the man at the da Vinci’s controls, and one might be right. Okay, smarty-pants: who’s fault is it that this robot throws like a girl?

Oh yes it can, but its unwillingness to shoot anyone makes it useless, it only wants to make friends and make them paper aeroplanes... -
