With an 80 percent success rate, there’s a great chance that Justin here’s better at playing catch than you’re. This old German Aerospace Agency-designed robot, which we first saw in 2009 , learned a brand new trick — he can track thrown objects as they approach, calculate their flight path, and snap his cold, soulless hands around them before they hit the floor. Better yet, he can catch two objects jointly. For his encore, Rollin’ Justin uses his tactile finger sensors to organize you a cup of coffee, simply so you recognize there’s no hard feelings once’s he’s done schooling you at three flies up. The ‘bot may be controlled via iPad and acts totally grateful in case you get him a tie for Christmas, although it’s not what he really wanted. Video after the break.
