Scientists in Tokyo have invented a robot that can never lose at a game of rock, paper, scissors.
Developed at the University of Tokyo's Ishikawa Oku Laboratory, the robot is able to beat an opponent every single time by recognizing the shape of that person's hand just one millisecond in advance - effectively cheating its way to victory."The wrist joint angle of the robot hand is controlled based on the position of the human hand," wrote the researchers. "The vision recognizes one of rock, paper and scissors based on the shape of the human hand. After that, the robot hand plays one of rock, paper and scissors so as to beat the human being in 1ms."
You cannot beat the Janken robot at rock, paper, scissors. The robot will always win. Also, Janken is the Japanese name of the rock, paper, scissors game.
