Odd, but fun

This is out of China, it reminds me of the stuff that used to come out of the USSR, brilliant in its own different way.

Hopefully they can find something productive use for this sort of technology, I doubt they can afford to put a lot of their citizens on unemployment. "Virtual mining" using a combination of robots in the pits and remote human operators comes to mind. They would probably come in handy at Fukishima if they could be sheilded properly.

It gets even better at about 2:30 when the robot is playing vs a human (they are softballing the shots but it can handle forehand and backhand).
