It becomes more and more obvious that robots outperform humans in tasks that require speed, precision and complex computations. The video below featuring Rollin’ Justin, a mobile version of the well known Justin humanoid robot from DLR, catching two balls that are thrown at it.
An interesting fact is that all the complex computations, that lead to predicting the ball trajectory and positioning the hand accordingly, is off-loaded to a more powerful (stationary) computer which in turn sends the digested results to the robot.
