looks like very expensive hackle pliers.
As I watched this whole process, I kept thinking if only we could work with this and come up with some sort of prosthesis for disabled vets. How great that would be!
I donāt think this device is going to be putting many professional fly tiers out of business any time soon. Itās got a lot to learn. 8T
Captivating!
That was pretty impressive. Controlling the tension to not break the peacock herl with the machine was what surprised me most. Iāve broken enough of those when I can feel how much Iām pulling on them. I canāt imagine the temptation to overdo things when you donāt have your hands on it.
it could be a prothesis for any disabled person and with the right software could be made to operate with nothing more than head movement or thoughts. still itās a very expensive hackle plier.
That surgial device is wondrfull. that is the one that would allow a docter to reform a surgery from 10k miles aay if need be. the fly tied was a a 26 long shank if i remember properly. i read about this and watch this on discover a while ago
Wow!!! Amazing. āCome with me if you want to tieā lol
Thanks Normand, but consider me unamazed. If it does surgery like it ties flies, Iāll opt for the veterinarian. I always wondered why flies werenāt manufactured. Now I know. If we could just teach it the word āsparseāā¦ that tailās a mess! (grin)
It made me realize that human hands are truly amazing tying tools. They can tie a much better fly, much faster than a machine.
The effort demonstrated here was great but it should not be called a ārobotā. It was a āmanipulatorā.
A robot is programmed to do specific repeatable actions. This manipulator made continuous attempts to correct errors as they occurred. This is not to discredit the system, itās just to correct the engineering terminology. Congrats. to the engineering designer.
Normand,
Pretty cool. Thanks for the link. While the finished product isnāt exactly elegant, Iām not sure it isnāt better than the first fly I tied!
That is very impressive.
Normand;
I really liked the link, BUT how do they share fishing stories ???
