The Airbot

The Airbot is a robot that can manipulate objects (that wasn’t a very good description) using an air stream coming out of a gimbaling nozzle.  It is limited to any object weighing up to 188 grams or having a radius of 97 mm or below.  This robot was created by two students and a professor at the University of Illinois.  The video speaks for itself, and I thought it was amazing.

It can even peel an onion!
