This robot called Toto can catch a flying tennis ball, when it is thrown to it.

It looks entertaining, but it may be useful for industrial robots when transporting things between robots by throwing and catching.

The robot, Toto, was developed the Reinhold-Würth University in Künzelsau in cooperation with the Institute of Computer Technology, TU Vienna.

This robotic system will let the cows in a farm voluntary submit them selves to a robotic milking process.

Using this system, the cows will decide the milking time on its own. The whole milking process must be automated 100 %, because the cows can choose to be milked at any time.

The advanced system includes a robotic arm for the milking process, the milking machine itself and a gate system to control cows coming in and out. With an ID sensor in the cows, the system indentifies each cow before milking. This will ensure proper milking intervals and monitoring of the cows health.
