This demo comes from Pat Bouffard and Anil Aswani and shows (eventually) a quadrotor catching tossed ping-pong balls starting at about 1:40:
All that other malarkey at the beginning of the vid (you didn’t skip over it, did you?) talks about the programming that goes into making sure that this quadrotor, with what I think we can all agree is a fairly small container, can reliably make catches. Essentially, the robot pays special attention to what’s physically going on with itself, using experience to compensate for thing like increased lift due to ground effect.
This technique is called LBMPC (that’s Learning Based Model Predictive Control), and you can see it in action when the quadrotor needs to move sideways to catch the ball, as it figures in the fact that it’s going to drift a little bit after it cancels out its lateral movement. Clever.
So, if Berkeley’s quadrotor teams up with this robot, this robot, maybe this robot, and of course these robots, you’ve got yourself a halfway decent chance at giving any Little League team a run for their juice boxes, and I for one would pay money to see it happen.
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, tgourhh inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

To me some obvious things to do are:1) Start cutting the work week. Do it in stages. 36 hours now, 32 hours in 5 years. Do that for a while and see how it works. More technological unemployment? Cut the work week even more.It's going to be necessary to do something like totally eliminate the salary system, for obvious reasons.2) National Health Insurance. No if's, and's, or but's. No apologies, no mandatory insurance purchases. Totally free insurance based solely on citizenship (or maybe just being a human being). This insurance is a natural right, and has absolutely nothing to do with employment.Like some other countries around the world.3) Totally remove any control by employers over retirement funds. Want to have a retirement system to make employment at your firm more attractive? All you can do is give a donation to something like an IRA or 401k that is totally under the control of the recipient. Or maybe a pre-defined investment fund that is run by a trustworthy third party, solely for the benefit of the recipient, and that has some sort of tax breaks.There is no way to dump someone a month before they qualify for a pension, you can't do anything with the retirement funds. They are solely and totally for the benefit of the recipient.Retirement is totally and utterly portable. You get it paid from day one whether you work only a week (well it'd be miniscule), or 50 years. Your retirement is only for you, and you may enhance it by working for employers that pay more into it, but you get something from any job you have that has a retirement system.What is so revolutionary about setting up something like a 401k for everyone in this country? I'm talking about a system like FERS, where the employer matches contributions, and they go into a fund where you can select several types of investments.Only thing is I want even less control by the employer, whether the federal government or not, over retirement funds.Basically I want to remove some of the control that employers have over people. It's not just the regular paycheck. It's usually more along the lines of health benefits, and later the pension (for a dwindling number of people admittedly).I think what I am trying to say is I want to cut the workweek, so more people will be needed to do whatever actually needs to be done. And remove some of the controls employers have over employees, so it will be more workable to not have full time employment as has usually been conceived, or indeed two part time jobs or something.Or maybe you go from job to job as a contractor. This would make it more in-line with traditional jobs as far as retirement and benefits (when I was a contractor I got neither).
