AI @ 21 December 2007
Fanuc M-430iA. Its a food/pharmaceuticals packing machine, but its movement is almost organic. Its semi-automatic, it picks up the product and puts it in a pack, so I am guessing it must have some kind of Machine Vision algorithms.
There is a BBC Video Clip available
Some additional information is on an Engaget Article.
Its cool, and worth the prize. But its not as cool as the Toyota Humanoid Robot Violinist.
