This Blood-Drawing Robot Can Be A Real Prick

#artificialintelligenceJun-15-2016, 03:10:28 GMT

He's made a robot that he claims to be the first robot to break Isaac Asimov's (an American science fiction author) First Law.

Reben's robot is composed of a uArm where the actuated gripper has been replaced with a small prick.
