Can a robot juggle?

Posted on October 11, 2013 | 3 Comments

The answer is yes. Students at the Department of Control Engineering at Prague’s Czech Technical University have built a robot that can juggle 5 balls. I can’t even juggle 5 balls. This is incredible. I wonder if they will figure out ways to get robots to juggle 7, 8, 9, or even 50 balls? Or how about a robotic joggler?

    Surely only a matter of time – once you’ve worked out the physics and timing,it can’t be long…

    A robotic joggler is something I’d dearly love to see!

      It’s kind of scary to have a robot that is that “smart”. This could lead to improved killer robots for all we know.

    Well, but it can’t run while juggling… 🙂
