Of this ultra fast robot he spotted at a 2010 competitive robotics event in Osaka, Japan, robotics dude Drew Noakes sez:
This machine was mind-blowingly fast and precise. Unforutunately for me, the guys demoing it barely spoke English, so I didn’t get much info on it other than it’s intended for use in positioning surface mount devices on printed circuit boards (SMD on PCB) during manufacture.
