After much experimentation, a team at the University of Tokyo has managed to build a robot that can perform the delicate task of peeling a banana.
While most folks can peel a banana without giving it a second thought, incorporating the same capability into a robot is a greater challenge than you might imagine.
After much experimentation, a team at the University of Tokyo has managed to build a machine that does a darn good job at peeling this particular fruit, though it does take about three minutes to complete the process.As you can see, the contraption features two arms with grippers — the hands — at the end of each one. As one hand lifts the banana, the other moves in to carefully grab top end of the fruit before peeling the first section of skin.
In fact, widely reported data suggests that currently the robot only succeeds in perfectly peeling a banana 57% of the time, suggesting there’s still plenty of work to be done to hone its skills.
