This robotic arm and hand developed by researchers at Intel's personal robotic lab in Pittsburgh demonstrates the latest in motion planning and manipulation.

With two cameras on its hand, the device is able to autonomously recognise cups on the table, pick them up, and place them in the dishwasher. Eventually, the designers plan to attach the arm to a Segway, making it mobile.

Company researchers demonstrated this and other cutting-edge research from their labs during Research@Intel Day at the Computer History Museum in California, US.
