Apparently looking to show off the dexterity of its “Airic’s_arm,” automation firm Festo recently put together a slick promotional video that appears to show the robot arm writing “HELLO” on a touchscreen monitor. It seems that the arm may have had ideas of its own, however, as the writing appears to spell out “HELP” as much as it does “HELLO.” Exactly what sort of distress the arm had to endure to cause it to issue this potentially non-existent plea, we’re not sure. but we’d recommend that the folks at Festo not turn their back on the thing unless they want some robot arms of their own. Hit up the read link below for the complete video.
