Scary robots make de-boning ham a cinch

You MUST check out This video of a new robot assembly that can de-bone 500 ham shanks an hour!  It's worth watching the whole thing (3-4 mins approx) even if only for the almost organic-like motion of the cutting arms that use x-rays to guide their slicing and dicing.  It's worryingly efficient and I even got a chuckle from the comment below from 'Raygun':
"This is how robots are going to cut us up when they take over. I cant wait!!!"

  1. now can you imagine them improving this over time so that one day you have a medical device that carry's out surgery on you and not a dr (your ok surgeon droid 5000 i will let it fall off instead)

    on another note this has just reminded me of you ready for blood and chrome starting on December 23

  3. Oh! Hadn't heard about that one. Let's hope it doesn't suck as bad as Caprica.
