This might seem like a trivial thing but I’d like to suggest otherwise: Researchers in Japan have developed a robot that beats a person in the game of “Rock, Paper, Scissors” 100 percent of the time.
100 percent!
The robot does this by using technology to recognize its competitors gesture a single millisecond after the person begins to form either a rock, a piece of paper or a pair of scissors.
You might say that’s cheating. I’d say it’s the future. (A video demonstrating the technology is posted below.)
Interested in some examples of how technology is replacing humans in some unexpected places?
