Robot Arm writes copies of the Luther Bible [Pic].... How times have changed!

I picked up the following story from Boing Boing.

Here's a picture of a robotic arm doing what Monks did way back in the scholastic era - writing copies of the Bible out by hand!

My, how times have changed.... I have often thought of getting my New Testament students to write out the New Testament just to be sure that they are reading it!!!

When I candidated to become a minister we had to read the whole Bible from cover to cover. It was quite a worthwhile experience (except for Numbers...).

For more great images of this 'monkbot' at work (please check out the great font it is writing in) go to the flickr page.

'twas very cool seeing this linked to from Amatomu, as I worked for Kuka a few years ago. While there a colleague brokered a deal to have Kuka robots appear in a James Bond movie, wielding lasers so as to cut Halle Berry into pieces!

Hi Henk,

That is incredible!!! Wow, what an experience! I would love to be part of something with that kind of geek-cred!

Thanks for the comment!
