The path to the eventual robot domination of humankind may begin with a simple game of rock, paper, scissors.
A robot called Berti (short for Bristol Elumotion Robotic Torso 1) showed off its skill at the game last week at London's Science Museum, randomly generating one of the three hand shapes and using sensors to tell whether the outcome was a win, loss, or draw. It's apparently quite adept at moving its fingers and thumb in a variety of ways.
Obviously, the next skill to master is thumb wrestling.
Check out photos of Berti, along with a smiling bot-head named Erwin, from our colleagues at Silicon.com.
