Cool, so can it help MAGA get a grip on reality?
It’s strong enough to crush a boulder! But gentle enough to crush a butterfly.
I take a potato chip with my carbonfiber prosthetic hand... and I eat it!
Is it sensitive enough to touch my self esteem without damaging it?
Is it sensitive enough to touch my self
Oh no....
esteem without damaging it?
Oh. I thought you were going in a whole different direction there....
A robo hand job is yet another way AI is taking our jerbs
And giving them
All it takes is a bad yank.. and the computers win.
Can it handle a cylinder without it being damaged?
Soft enough to let you down gently as it takes your job
Oh nice, so can I.
But you cost money monthly, require insurance, taxes, food, human rights.
Machine is a one time purchase.
Machines require upkeep. Shit wears out, shit breaks down, shit needs a constant stream of lube oil, coolant by the barrel coming in every month, waste coolant shipped somewhere else all the time, shit stops working for no reason. Shit needs to run to make back any money. You'll have to hire and pay somebody with human rights and an empty stomach since you already know all there is to know about machines. If you think machines don't break go ahead and open yourself up a machine shop and see how long it lasts with a $0 maintenance budget. Speedrun turning a million dollars into a pile of rusty scrap metal.
This is so wrong it's absurd. I work on machinery. Heavy equipment, I've dicked around with industrial robots and hell I even have and use a 3 axis cnc mill from 1986.
Most of the stuff that's out there is reliable as time with very little maintenance required. Oil or grease movable joints. Top up oils, change oils every 1000hrs. It's not hard or expensive to keep up on maintenance. Pay a premium and replace gear oil with PAG type oil, and you will never have to change that oil in your life.
Machines just work, they don't have feelings, they don't take sick days, they don't take lunches. And why they fuck are you buying equipment with out way to pay it off first. Build it, and they will come. It doesn't work all too well when everyone and their grandma has a cnc shop these days.
Right, I’ve never once had to fill a cars tank with gas, or change the oil, or pay for any other maintenance on one.
excellent
I tried this with my Kia Forte and destroyed my priceless Fabergé egg collection. I’m ruined!
How about egg doe
It is imperative that the cylinder remains unharmed.
Robots can fold a shirt
Yeah, kinda... not really...

How fast can it do it?
They did surgery on a grape
Can handle the peen?
I see you, Howard
Ha, I hear her voice. RIP.
Why not just use a raspberry or a potatoe chip instead of objects as fragile as them?
You'd have to keep switching between raspberries and potato chips and the robot would get all messy.
If they want to use it in healthcare as stated they need to teach it to get a little messy.
Blood is probably more viscous than raspberry juice.
fleshlight dot com is excited.
I can do that.
The GitHub is just a few md files?
