Quote:Toyota has created a 6-foot-10-inch basketball-shooting robot named Cue 3.
Cue 3 uses a set of sensors on its torso to measure its distance from the basket and adjust its shots. In a recent test, the robot made five of eight 3-point shots.
Toyota built Cue 3 to demonstrate the robot's use of "visual feedback" when shooting.
Cue 3 can't run, dribble, or execute the other fundamentals necessary to play alongside humans.
Be patient. Cue 4 will be along soon.

And here I thought it was going to be about Asimov and positronic brains.

And I was wondering who would shoot a three-pointer. (Buck, that is.)

Cool, now they just need to work on boxing robots and I'm ready to pay admission to see the fights!

Some nerdy friends at a "Large Midwest University" are working on nursing robots. They should have started five years ago.
