xArm looks like a 1950s sci-fi robot, and works like one too
For the most part, robot arms are something we see only in factories -- or, you know, in dopey sci-fi cartoons. They're not something we'd encounter in our daily lives, as much as we'd love to have an extra hand around to open jars, carry bags or set the table. We're still a ways off from that level of convenience, but next year uFactory aims to get us a little closer with xArm, a consumer-friendly robotic appendage that performs simple tasks. It's not quite Rosie the Robot, but at least it can pour you a cup of coffee.
