The first is the Robotic boy from ETHZ and friends, in the flesh so to speak.
The second are ETEL's micropositioning systems with 7nm (nanometer) repeatability! They are also increadably fast.
Why people build robots that look like a person is beyond me. Cute but missing the point of what they do by a mile.
Fast?? as in 4000 IPM rapids and 60+ inches of travel?
High-res scales are nice until you need to count them at high rapid speeds. A design feature many don't think about. Fiber-optic connections to your scales to handle the bandwidth?
I worked on a "factory of the future" project.
Lights out, no people, then along came a company named Toyota which had a whole different vision how to mix manual labor with automation with a whole set of lessons on automation.
End of project. Very big money sent to the scrap man but many things learned about what you can do along with a bit of appreciation for the basic human brain.
Don't get me wrong, I love this stuff but a dose of common sense needs to be used.
Computers, robots, and the like are way below the brains of your below average brain dead human and there has been no major advances in the past few decades.
Lower cost electronics have helped some but we really have hit a wall here.
In the end you need software and robust design engineering to make this stuff work and while it looks simple at first glance it is not trivial or cheap.
