Watch Robots Fight with Katana Swords
This “sword fight” between two ABB brand industrial robots is a really amazing display of the precision of these machines. But it also serves as a reminder that the robot apocalypse is inevitable. When it happens, and it will happen, I’d much rather be taken out swiftly by a drone than by a couple of giant robot arms swinging Katana blades. Although, if I’ve learned anything from endlessly playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game on NES, it’s that all you have to do to defeat these one armed robots is jump behind them, or walk far enough that you can’t see them anymore. You’re welcome.
The video was taken at an exhibition where there must have been an insane amount of other cool stuff going on since you see a ton of people walking by and acting like there aren’t two robots. Fighting. With swords! They sheath and unsheathe their swords for cryin’ out loud. Unless there's a monkey juggling chainsaws over there, those people better march back over and start placing bets against Geekologie.
