Remember when ‘deep blue’, the super computer beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in a match in 1996? Everyone was impressed by the unbelievable progress of artificial intelligence. Now Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo managed to build a computer that beat you with a 100% winning rate at the game ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’. The robot operates by reading your hand gesture with a high-speed camera and mimicking it instantly. The high speed camera turns the image of your hand into a silhouette, reading the shape using special algorithms. It then changes the gesture of the robot’s hand in order to defeat the gesture that has been thrown against it. The entire process happens in roughly a millisecond and the robot has never been beaten.
