robot origami

robot origami

The Japanese art of folding paper is much more difficult for a robot.

"Matthew Mason, a professor of computer science and robotics, thought building such a robot would be so daunting that he did not encourage Devin Balkcom's plans to do so in January 2003.

But today, Balkcom has a robot that can make paper planes and hats and is scheduled to earn his doctorate with the project in August."


... and Pandora's box just opens ever wider. :)
