Janken Rock-Paper-Scissors Robot Wins Against You Every Single Time!

Ishikawa Lab, Japan has developed a robot called janken that plays rock-paper-scissors with you and no matter how worse you feel about it, it beats you every single time. The robot is an example of a human-machine cooperation system that is capable of achieving this 100%  success rate. When a human draws a hand, it'as position and shape are recognized by the robot in just a millisecond using a high-speed vision camera. So, it determines if the shape is that of rock, paper or scissors and the system changes the angle of the robotic hand's wrist joint accordingly to beat the human.



 

The japanese researchers behind this technology have shown that cooperation control is now possible within a few miliseconds. What other applications of this system can you think of? Share with us in the comments. Enough said, you ought to see it to believe it. Check out the following video -
