This amazing ball catching robot named TOTO (Tracking of Thrown Objects) has been built to speed up "fully automated production systems...where parts will be transported between workstations by robotic throwing and catching".

I'd love to see multiples of this robot in action, throwing and catching product parts back and forth down an assembly line.

Could someone possibly somehow in the future make one that holds a bullet proof sheild that you can strap on somewhere that can help protect police and other people from getting hit by bullets?
