A Japanese robot arm that can pick up 120 items per minute off of a moving conveyor belt took top prize at Japan’s Robot of the Year awards yesterday, swishing its arm back and forth in a gesture we think we may have seen before. The robo-arm analyzes items before snatching them up and depositing them into paper bags. At any rate, it’s only a matter of time until someone mods this into a super-speedy “happy ending” tool.
