Condiment transporting SWITL robot arm gets a gig moving meat, packing boxes (video)

Long ago in March, we spotted video of the SWITL , a robotic hand with a penchant for choosing up globs of condiments without changing their shape. Neat, yes, but what kind of applications might one of these device have in real life, beyond rather inefficient cleanups of Burger King floors? Manufacturer Furukawa Kikou has put the electronic appendage to work, folding meat and packing boxes with bags jam-packed with sol-gel substances, without losing the form of either material. The scale of the corporate is prohibiting sales of SWITL machines overseas in the present day, but Furukawa Kikou is excited to debate partnerships, should someone approach it for its raw meat and ketchup moving needs. Exceedingly unappetizing video after the break.
