Georgia Tech researcher Tobias Kunz presented his paper "Robot Sword Fighting" this week at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). His main theme is to make robots safe and flexible while they are doing some work for humans. To teach a robot how to fight using sword Kunz used novel algorithmic model for physical human-robot interaction with hybrid dynamics. Using this algorithm a robot can select optimal motions in response to human actions and maximize safety.
Check out the simulation:
Well it’s a nice work in robotics field but according to me it is against the humanity. Well we are not short of people (terrorists) who are killing the people using different weapons and if this technology will go to their hands then it will be double trouble for our world.
