You’ve got to see this video to believe it.


Willow Garage, a company that develops software for robotics applications, have taught their robot to play a game of pool and they’ve done this in just a week!


There’re no humans assisting the robot – he can hold the cue and select shots completely on his own. Very impressive!


Willow Garage was founded by Scott Hassan who earlier launched eGroups, a service that was later acquired by Yahoo! and is now known as Yahoo! Groups.


Thanks Cali Lewis.
