The incredible potential of flexible, soft robots

So robots.

Robots can be programmed
to do the same task millions of times

with minimal error, something
very difficult for us, right?

And it can be very impressive
to watch them at work.

Look at them.

I could watch them for hours.

No?

But what is less impressive
that if you take this robot

out of the factories

where the environments are not
perfectly known and measured like here,

to do even a simple task
which doesn't require much precision,

and this is what can happen.

I mean, opening a door,
you don't require much precision.

(Laughter)

Or, a small error in the measurements,

you miss the ?? and that's it.
