A professor at the University of Tokyo has developed 2 robots that play baseball. So far, in slow pitch mode, one pitches 90% in the strike zone, and the other only swings at what’s in the strike zone and hits nearly 100% of those. Both robots, however, are regularly juiced with performance enhancing substances.
The pitching robot hand has only 3 fingers, so there is still a middle one to extend to an umpire.
If the robots get to be proficient as is hoped, maybe some day George Steinbrenner can fire them.
The robots are attracting a lot of attention. Half is from the scientific community, and the other half is from models who hope to become rich trophy wives.
The professor is working to perfect the ball-playing robots. In the next phase they are being programmed to spit tobacco.
Research has stalled briefly, as the robots are demanding more money.
In the future, with a whole team assembled, these robots may be able use a variety of different skills to kill John Conner and crush humanity.
