Swidl: robot picks up gooey spills without losing their shapes
by Rob Beschizza from Boing Boing on (#4H1T6)
Swidl is a robot that can quickly slide its thin flat tongue underneath gooey spills without disrupting their shapes. I can't begin to imagine a purpose for it other than forensic-grade vomit archiving (the given example is ... meat towels?) but it's amazing to watch in action. Thluuuuuuuup!
